North America Tetrahydrofuran (THF) Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By End-Use, By Application (Polytetramethylene Ether Glycol (PTMEG), Solvents, and Others), By Country and Growth Forecast, 2023 - 2030


The North America Tetrahydrofuran (THF) Market would witness market growth of 6.2% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030). In the year 2019, the North America market's volume surged to 309.32 Kilo Tonnes, showcasing a growth of 5.2% (2019-2022).

THF is widely used in the formulation of adhesives due to its excellent solvent properties. It helps dissolve and disperse various polymers, creating adhesive formulations with desirable characteristics such as strong bonding, flexibility, and durability. THF is a key ingredient in the production of sealants. It contributes to forming sealant materials that provide effective sealing, bonding, and protection against environmental factors such as moisture, heat, and chemicals. THF is used in the production of adhesives for flexible packaging applications.

Furthermore, innovations in the production of tetrahydrofuran include the development of bio-based alternatives derived from renewable resources. These innovations align with the industry’s commitment to sustainability and offer a greener option than conventional petrochemical based THF. The demand for THF in the formulation of adhesives for flexible packaging materials has increased due to the expansion of the packaging industry, particularly in the food and beverage sector.

According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, spending on construction was $1,972.6 billion (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in July 2023, which is 0.7 percent (0.5 percent) more than the previously anticipated $1,958.9 billion in June. The July 2023 amount is 5.5% (1.2%) greater than the July 2022 estimate of $1,869.3 billion. Construction spending reached $1,101.5 billion in the first seven months of 2023, a 3.7 percent (1.0 percent) increase over the $1,062.1 billion spent during the same period in 2022. The demand for residential construction, including single-family homes and multi-family units, drives the construction industry in the US. THF is used to produce polymer-based materials used in residential building components in the US. Due to these aspects, the market will expand across the North America region in upcoming years.
