Propylene Oxide Market by Application, Process, End-use Industry And Region - Global Forecast to 2022
NEW YORK, Aug. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
"The propylene oxide market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2017 to 2022, in terms of value"
The propylene oxide market is projected to grow from USD 13.43 billion in 2017 to USD 17.53 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2017 to 2022. Increased demand for propylene oxide from the end-use industries such as automotive, building & construction, textile & furnishing, chemical & pharmaceutical, packaging, and electronics is expected to fuel the growth of the propylene oxide market during the forecast period. Propylene is the major raw material required for the production of propylene oxide. It is manufactured from crude oil. Any change in the cost of this basic raw material directly impacts the production chain of propylene oxide. Hence, the volatility in the price of raw material acts as a restraint on the growth of the propylene oxide market.
