1,3-Propanediol (PDO) Market Trends

Increasing Demand from the Engineering Plastics End-User Industry

  • 1,3 Propanediol is used as an intermediate in the production of plastics like PTT and PU. PTT is used as an engineering plastic and a thermoplastic.
  • Polyester fabrics and yarns made from PET, PBT, and PTT fibers are ideal for engineering applications such as automotive parts, mobile phone housings, and other industrial and consumer products. The rising production of PU and other engineering plastics made with PDO is expected to drive the market.
  • Companies associated with the 1,3-Propanediol (PDO) business are looking for the expansion of polyurethane production across the regions, which escalated the demand worldwide.
  • Polyurethane production in the United States hugely contributes to the US economy. The polyurethanes industry operates in nearly 1,000 locations in the United States.
  • Various major chemicals producing companies are working on expanding portfolios for engineering plastics by investing in the establishment of manufacturing facilities. For instance, in July 2022, BASF SE opened up new manufacturing facilities for engineering plastics in the Zhanjiang Verbund site in the province of Guangdong in southern China, with an annual capacity of 60,000 metric tons.
  • The chemical industry plays an important role in the growth of the propanediol market. Over the three years from 2021 to 2024, the industry is expected to grow in every segment, with overall industry growth expected to be 1.8% in 2024.
  • 1,3-Propanediol (PDO) is an appealing chemical for use in the production of new types of polymers such as poly trimethylene terephthalate. PTT is mainly used in fibers for carpets, and textiles known as Triexta fibers. The global production of textile fibers amounted to 14 kilograms per capita and is expected to increase to approximately 17.5 kilograms per capita by 2030.
  • From the abovementioned factors, the demand for the engineering plastics end-user industry is expected to grow over the forecast period.
