Research Report on BDO-PTMEG-Spandex Market Size, Share, Price Trends, Growth, Key Players, Regional Outlook, Competitive Market Strategies and Forecasts, 2016 - 2024

16 January 2019, The 1, 4-butanediol (BDO) market stood around USD 4.1 billion in 2014. BDO is growingly used in drug formulations. The worldwide BDO-PTMEG-Spandex Market witnesses regulation from several agencies, with either financial or environmental guidelines. BDO has attracted many legislative policies & actions regarding its safe adoption.

THF is a key BDO derivative. It experiences catalyzed polymerization to produce polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG). PTMEG refers to a wax-like white solid. It finds applications in the production of polymers like urethane elastomers, polyamides, polymaides, etc. However, one of the key PTMEG uses is the production of elastene/spandex/lycra fiber.

The PTMEG market garnered about USD 2.7 billion in 2014. With regards to value chain, BDO is a key raw material in the production of elastene, with PTMEG as the transitional chemical. Globally, spandex produced about USD 2.1 billion in 2014, with China grabbing nearly 30% volumes that year.

Chief governmental policymakers controlling market dynamics are EPA, FDA, REACH, European Commission, and ECHA. The BDO-PTMEG-Spandex market is classified as per applications and regions.
