Pyrrolidone Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Pyrrolidone Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand from Chemical Processing Industry Segment
- 1-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone, 2-Pyrrolidone, and N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone are intensively used in the chemical processing industry, which is anticipated to register a CAGR of about 5%, globally, during the forecast period.
- Major applications of the pyrrolidone derivates in the chemical processing industry are in extracting agents, reaction solvents, equipment washing, surface coating solvents, de-colorants, and plasticizers.
- Pyrrolidone is heavily used in major unit operations present in refineries and petrochemical plants to extract the various useful chemicals. For example, N-Methyl Pyrrolidone (NMP) is used for the extraction of aromatics from heavier lube distillates for improving the viscosity index. The refining and petrochemicals market is growing at about 4% per year, indicating a stable demand from the sector.
- The chemical processing industry is expected to dominate the pyrrolidone market over the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the dominant market in pyrrolidone consumption, as the region dominates the market for the end-user industries, such as chemical processing, electronics, and cosmetics. In countries, like China, Japan, South Korea, and India, the demand for pyrrolidone has been increasing.
- Pyrrolidone is also used as an ingredient in cosmetic formulations. Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, and China are among the top 10 global cosmetics exporters, and the overall Asian cosmetic market is expected to register a CAGR of about 5% during the forecast period.
- N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone also finds application as a photoresist stripper, degreasing agent, and coating polyamides in the electronics industry. The Asian electronics market is expected to register a CAGR of more than 5%, with China, Japan, India, and South Korea among the top 10 global electronics manufacturers.
- Thus, the rising demand from the aforementioned end-user industries is expected to drive the growth in the Asia-Pacific region.
