Polytetrahydrofuran Market Revenue, Opportunity, Segment and Key Trends 2017-2027

Polytetrahydrofuran (poly THF), also known as poly tetramethylene ether glycol or poly tetramethylene oxide, is produced through catalyzed polymerization of tetrahydrofuran. It is a white solid waxy substance which melts at room temperature and turns into a colorless, clear and viscous liquid. This compound is insoluble in water. Polytetrahydrofuran is widely used in the manufacturing of polyurethane resins and elastic fibers. Some of the famous brands of Polytetrahydrofuran compounds are Poly THF (BASF SE) and Tetrathane (Invista).

Based on application, the spandex fibers is expected to dominate the global polytetrahydrofuran market. Spandex fibers are mainly used during the manufacturing of apparels including hosiery, bandages, baby diapers, athletic outfits and home furnishings. Due to a decline in the prices of raw materials used in the production of polytetrahydrofuran, the price of polytetrahydrofuran is expected to decline during the forecast period. Based on end use, the textile industry segment is expected to dominate the global polytetrahydrofuran market during the forecast period. However, the paints & coatings segment is projected to show significant growth in near future. Based on the product type, the chemical byproduct segment is expected to be the most promising revenue generating segment. However, synthesis poly THF is projected to witness significant growth by the end of 2025.

Polytetrahydrofuran Market: Dynamics

Development of bio-based spandex is expected to propel the demand for Polytetrahydrofuran market during the forecast period. Petro-based poly THF is widely used in several industries like apparel, leather, medical equipment manufacturing, sports equipment, etc. However, there are various advantages of bio-based poly THF over petro-based poly THF. Bio-based poly THF reduces emissions as it is derived from renewable materials. Moreover, various attributes of petro-based poly THF such as resistance to microbes, stability at high temperatures, etc. are expected to upsurge the demand for petro-based poly THF in near future. However, petro-based poly THF is expected to dominate the global poly THF market owing to its low price.

Increasing demand for Polytetrahydrofuran from sportswear and textile industry is also anticipated to drive the growth of Polytetrahydrofuran market in near future. Moreover, various features of poly THF like flexibility at low temperatures, non-allergenic properties, long shelf life and excellent hydrolytic stability is expected to upsurge the demand for poly THF during the forecast period. Furthermore, growing consumer preference towards the use of inexpensive, durable and elastic materials is also anticipated to drive the growth of the Polytetrahydrofuran market in near future.
