Tetrahydrofuran Market Analysis
The tetrahydrofuran (THF) market is projected to register a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period.
- COVID-19 negatively impacted the market in 2020. The coronavirus-related mass quarantines negatively affected the polymer, textile, paints, and coatings industries. The pharmaceutical business was the only one to have a beneficial impact during that time. Nonetheless, the THF market has started to grow in the recent past and is predicted to expand with the same trajectory over the forecast years.
- In the medium term, growing demand for spandex from the textile industry and increasing demand for polyvinyl chloride manufacturing are the major factors driving the market. On the other hand, the availability of close replacements and THF's hazardous characteristics (very flammable and health hazards) are impeding the market's expansion.
- The recent innovations in bio-based THF will likely act as an opportunity for the market studied. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market across the world, with the largest consumption from countries such as China, India, and Japan.
