Rising Applications in Drug Synthesis Surge Revenues in the Furfyl Alcohol Market. FMI Tracks Growth Patterns in 35+ Countries.

Furfuryl alcohol (C4H3OCH2OH), also known as 2-furylmethanol or 2-furancarbinol, is an organic compound containing a furan substituted with a hydroxymethyl group.

NEWARK, Del., July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --  The global furfuryl alcohol market size is projected to be valued at USD 1192.5 million in 2024 and further increase at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. Worldwide sales of furfuryl alcohols are set to total USD 2115.5 million by 2034.

The foundry industry is expected to grow globally, particularly in developing countries, due to the demand for furfuryl alcohol, a compound made from renewable materials like corn cobs and sugarcane bagasse. This sustainable practice makes furfuryl alcohol an attractive option for various industries, including metal casting. Research and development activities will bring innovation and reduce costs, making it competitive in the industry.

Furfuryl alcohol's strength-to-weight ratio and heat resistance make it suitable for composite materials. Its improved fire resistance and adhesion properties could open up new markets in the building and aerospace sectors. The compound's antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties could also attract opportunities in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Government regulations and policies will influence the C5H6O2 sector.

Key Takeaways from the Market Report

  • The global furfuryl alcohol market is set to reach USD 2115.5 million by 2034, with a CAGR of 5.9% in the forecast period.
  • Based on source type, the corn cob raw material segment accounted for a market share of 88.8% in 2024.
  • By applications, the foundry resin segment is estimated to lead with a market share of 83.3% in 2024.
  • India is expected to record a CAGR of 8.8% between 2024 and 2034.
  • Sales in China are predicted to rise at a CAGR of 6.6% through 2034.

How is Increasing Adoption in Wood Preservation Affecting Furfuryl Alcohol Market?

The introduction of 'furfurylation' technique for wood processing is propelling sales in the market. Rapid urbanization, expansion of residential and commercial sectors, along with increasing sales of home décor and wood furniture are chief factors driving demand in the wood industry.

This technique is a chemical process by which commercial wood properties are enhanced using furfuryl alcohol as a low-viscosity modifying agent. It is used to modify the wood structure and chemistry to make it less susceptible to biodegradation and chemical attack.

The polymerization process within the wood system has been touted as an eco-friendly and green alternative for conventional use of toxic compounds such as copper, salt, chromium, and arsenic. Furfurylated woods are non-toxic materials and are suitable for internal and external applications where aesthetic characteristics are required.

This process improves the hardness and durability of wood, making it completely resistant to termite attacks. In addition to this, it reduces the moisture content in wood and increases dimensional stability, thereby improving reduction in anisotropy with no effect on bending properties.

Further, wood furniture manufacturers are increasingly adopting this technique to improve elasticity, flame retardancy, dimensional stability, lower water consumption, tensile strength, hardness, and other mechanical properties.

Backed by these factors, sales of furfuryl alcohol in the wood and construction sector are projected to gain traction over the assessment period.

"Several end-use industries are finding applications for C5H6O2. Manufacturers are creating strategic alliances to maintain a steady demand for the compound," Says Nikhil Kaitwade, Associate Vice President at Future Market Insights (FMI).

Who is Winning?

Industry giants including China XLX Fertilizer Ltd., Aurus Specialty Company Limited, Hongye Holding Group Corporation Limited, and Xingtai Chunlei Furfuryl Alcohol Co., Ltd. are investing in research and development to improve production efficiency. They are exploring new uses for furfuryl alcohol, exploring new market niches and revenue streams.

Competitors are exploring bio-based resources and recycling furfuryl alcohol from foundry waste streams to minimize environmental impact and manufacturing costs. Expanding their reach in developing countries and novel markets through strategic alliances with foundry businesses can ensure demand and new applications. Organizations must maintain high-quality products, provide excellent customer service, and uphold safety and environmental requirements to maintain their market presence.

A Few Key Players-

  • Aurus Specialty Company Limited, headquartered in Bangkok, is an export-oriented business that commenced the commercial production of Furfural and Furfuryl Alcohol in November 1990. It specializes in agro-waste processing and is a predominantly export-oriented industry to produces specialty chemicals.
  • DynaChem Inc., headquartered in Illinois, is one of the leading domestic producers of aromatic sulfonic acids, industrial resins, and specialty chemicals. Their primary focus was on products and services for the metal casting industry. The company presently serves various sectors including adhesives, electronics, paints and coatings, reinforced composites, and others. They have achieved consistent growth through robust consumer partnerships and by providing custom-formulated products through consumer-specific solutions.

Furfuryl Alcohol Market - Category-wise Insights

Why is Corn Cob Raw Material Considered a Highly Sought-after Source?

Based on the source type, demand for corn cob raw material is expected to rise at a considerable pace in the forthcoming years. This material is one of the most consumed raw materials for the production of furfural and furfuryl alcohol.

Growing demand for sustainable alternatives in the chemical industry is boosting sales in this segment. Lignocellulosic agricultural wastes are considered as an alternative source of renewable raw materials.

Liquors with high content of hemicelluloses derived from corn cobs are treated with sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid as catalysts to facilitate furfural production. Owing to these factors, sales in this segment are projected to remain high over the forecast period.

Which is the Primary Furfuryl Alcohol Application?

In terms of applications, sales in the foundry resins segment are projected to account for 83.3% of the total market share in 2024. Increasing adoption of furfuryl alcohol in the production of furan resins used for corrosion and heat-resistant materials in the foundry industry is expected to augment the growth of the market.

Furfuryl alcohol is widely adopted in binders used for regular furan no-bake systems. Increasing production in the metal casting industry is leading to the expansion of the foundry industry, thereby propelling sales.

Rapid urbanization in India, China, Japan, and Brazil is boosting the production of manufacturing molds, which is expected to continue boosting sales in this segment over the assessment period.
