The global tetrahydrofuran (thf) market was valued at $3.9 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $8.2 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2022 to 2031.
Tetrahydrofuran (THF), also known as oxolane is a heterocyclic organic compound that is miscible in water. It possesses various significant properties such as excellent miscibility, chemical stability, and low boiling point that make it suitable for use as a solvent and intermediate in various end-use sector including plastic & polymers, pharmaceuticals, textiles, paints & coatings, and others.
Rapid surge in population coupled with rise in fashion consciousness has surged the growth of the textile sector in both developed and developing economies such as the U.S., China, India, and others where tetrahydrofuran (THF) is used as a raw material for producing various textile fibers such as spandex, and others. Furthermore, the rise in urbanization has increased government spending on the architecture sector where tetrahydrofuran (THF) is widely used as a solvent in manufacturing various paint formulations. For instance, according to a report published by National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency, infrastructure activities accounted for 13% share of the total foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in 2021. These factors altogether are expected to foster the growth of the tetrahydrofuran (THF) market during the forecast period.
However, health hazards associated with the use of tetrahydrofuran (THF) may hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
On the contrary, factors such as rise in population coupled with the emergence of advanced polymers have made customers more linear toward using polymer-based products where tetrahydrofuran is used as a solvent in producing polymeric formulations. Furthermore, polymer offers various significant advantages such as low cost, lightweight, high strength, and increased lifecycle that makes several end-use sectors use polymers as a building block in product manufacturing. This is anticipated to surge the popularity of tetrahydrofuran (THF) in the growing polymer sector; thus, creating lucrative opportunities for the market.
The tetrahydrofuran (THF) market is segmented on the basis of application, end-use, and region. On the basis of application, it is divided into polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG), solvents, and others. On the basis of end-use, the market is classified into polymer, textile, pharmaceutical, paints & coatings, and others. Region-wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
