Market Overview

Isobutanol exists as a colorless organic compound that burns easily and emits a distinct smell. The compound shows moderate water solubility, while its exceptional solvency power and controlled evaporation speed make it a commonly used substance. Iso Butanol serves two purposes in chemical processes because it acts as both a feedstock and a solvent. The substance shows limited solubility in water, but it dissolves easily in various common solvents, which include aldehydes, ethers, glycols, alcohols and ketones.

The company OQ Chemicals declared a price hike of USD 110 per metric ton for Iso-Butanol and n-Butanol in July 2024 because of insufficient feedstock Propylene supply. The company implemented the decision because of market fluctuations, force majeure events, and power outages that occurred after Hurricane Beryl.

India's Aviation Push in January 2026, At the Wings India 2026 event, Praj Industries demonstrated an integrated ethanol-to-jet pathway. The program uses low-carbon alcohols, which include isobutanol, to achieve its upcoming blending requirements. In August 2025, India's Union Minister Nitin Gadkari unveiled Kirloskar Oil Engines' new isobutanol engine technology, which represents a government-funded transition to bio-alcohols for transportation and industrial applications.

Driving Factors

The iso butanol market in Asia Pacific is driven by the rising use of iso butanol as a gasoline fuel replacement, which comes from its capacity to increase octane ratings while decreasing emissions. Isobutanol serves as a solvent and diluent for paints, coatings and adhesives to enhance their performance and flow characteristics. The construction industry shows strong growth in the region, which creates demand for building materials. The healthcare sector expansion and higher disposable income levels drive demand for isobutanol as a high-purity solvent used in drug and cosmetic products.

Restraining Factors

The iso butanol market in Asia Pacific is restrained by supply-demand imbalances, creating fluctuations in crude oil prices which manufacturers use to determine their production costs and profit margins that result in unstable product prices. Isobutanol presents health and safety hazards for people, while it also poses risks to aquatic environments.

Market Segmentation

The Asia Pacific iso butanol market share is categorised into product and application.

• The synthetic segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The Asia Pacific iso butanol market is segmented by product into synthetic and bio-based. Among these, the synthetic segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The segmental growth is driven by synthetic isobutanol through petrochemical processes that operate at an industrial scale and use propylene and butylene as raw materials derived from crude oil refining and natural gas extraction. The process produces products with greater purity, which makes it suitable for use in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications that demand high-quality products.

• The chemical intermediates segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.  

Based on application, the Asia Pacific iso butanol market is segmented into oil & gas, solvents & coatings, chemical intermediates, and others. Among these, the chemical intermediates segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The segmental growth is driven by its functions as an essential input which manufacturers use to create different chemical products, including Butyl Acrylate, Isobutyl Acetate and Plasticizers. The material's ability to be used in multiple ways leads to its widespread use in different industries, which generates demand for it as a chemical intermediate.
