N-hexyl Alcohol Market worth over $1.6bn by 2024

  • Published Date: March 23, 2018

N-hexyl Alcohol Market size is forecast to exceed USD 1.6 billion by 2024; according to a new research report by Global Market Insights.
 

Strong growth trends in food & beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry primarily in Asia Pacific, mainly due to improving consumer spending power will subsequently boost demand for packaging material and will thus positively influence to the global N-hexyl alcohol market size by 2024. Product is widely applicable as plasticizer precursor for manufacturing wrapping material, such as polyvinyl chloride which is usually used for packaging medicines, personal care and food products.
 

High product cost along with presence of numerous product alternatives in the industry is probable to hamper the overall N-hexyl alcohol market size by 2024. Product alternatives such as N-undecanol; N-octanol, N-decanol, etc. are available in the industry and possess similar properties and are thus used as odor agent, chemical intermediate, etc. For example, N-decanol is a linear chain fatty alcohol, which is colorless and has a strong odor. It is also used as plasticizer for manufacturing various kinds of plastics. It is used as additive in lubricants and as a chemical intermediate for several industrial reactions which has the potential of hampering the N-hexanol market size by 2024.
