The global N-propanol market size reached USD 299.5 Million in 2021 and it is likely to touch a valuation of USD 308.6 Million in 2022. Furthermore, with rising application in solvents, deicing fluids, and chemical intermediates, the overall sales of N-propanol are projected to rise at 3.1% CAGR between 2022 and 2032, topping a valuation of USD 420.6 Million by 2032.
1-Propanol is formed naturally in a very small amount through numerous fermentation processes and is generally used as a solvent in various industries, mainly for resins and cellulose esters.
N-propanol is manufactured on a large scale industrially by catalytic hydrogenation of propionaldehyde. As a solvent, its application includes flexographic printing inks and textiles, personal care and cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and cleaners for electronic and household applications.
Robust growth of industries such as pharmaceutical, paint & coatings, personal care, and chemicals coupled with increasing application of n-propanol across these sectors is expected to drive the global market forward during the forecast period.
N-propanol is being extensively used as a solvent and chemical intermediate across various industries for manufacturing a wide range of products including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, inks, paints, and coatings.
Hence, increasing consumption of these products will eventually boost sales of n-propanol during the projection period.
In the cosmetics industry, this kind of alcohol (n-propanol) can be found in nail polish removers, toothpaste, dental lotions, and perfumes. Over the course of the projection period, growth prospects are anticipated to be brought on by consumers' knowledge of beauty and cosmetics products.
Similarly, the growing popularity of n-propanol in the food & beverage industry will create lucrative opportunities for manufacturers over the next ten years.
The use of n-propyl alcohol in the food industry is permitted by the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including as adjuvants and synthetic flavorings agents.
The Joint FAO/WHO Committee suggested that this form of alcohol only be used as an extraction solvent, a carrier solvent, and a flavoring agent in the food industry.
As a result, companies like Solventis have begun to supply alcohol in food-grade forms. The market demand will increase as customers' preferences for flavored food products continues to grow.
Currently, the n-propanol market accounts for around 20% to 25% of the global propanol market and this number is expected to further surge during the forthcoming years as demand for pharmaceuticals, paints, cosmetics, and coatings continues to rise.
Regionally, East Asia will remain a leading consumer of n-propanol, accounting for about one-third of the overall n-propyl alcohol consumption during the forecast period. The rapid growth of pharmaceutical and construction industries and the large presence of key manufacturers are driving the demand for n-propanol across East Asia.

. Demand for n-propanol has been consistently growing owing to the robust growth of the end-use industries such as pharmaceuticals, coatings, and personal care.
1-propanol is substantially used as an industrial solvent in prominent chemical sectors. It is utilized for the production of a variety of products, including paints and inks, adhesives, cosmetics, plastics, rubber, and coatings. They are effective solvents due to their miscibility with water and little reactivity towards the bulk of common compounds.
Globally, rising infrastructure spending in developing nations is anticipated to significantly boost demand for goods including paints and coatings, adhesives, and industrial machinery. This in turn will have a favorable knock-on effect on n-propanol usage.
Significant growth potential exists in emerging economies such as those in the Asia Pacific. There is a considerable demand for n-propanol products in countries such as India and China owing to the booming construction, chemical, and paint & coatings industries.
Since the chemical industry is consolidated, investments in product development by key manufacturers and rapid industrialization & urbanization could create a significant opportunity for n-propanol manufacturers.
Furthermore, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases coupled with increasing production and consumption of pharmaceuticals will boost sales of n-propanol during the projection period.
Widening Applications in Pharmaceutical and Coating Industries Boost market
The growth of n-propanol is expressively driven by increasing usage in the pharmaceutical and coating industries. N-propanol finds application as a chemical intermediate, solvent, and organic synthesis in many industries. It is mainly used as a solvent in solvent-based coatings, pharmaceuticals, paints, etc.
Owing to the growing usage of n-propanol as a solvent in pharmaceutical and coating industries, a positive growth trajectory has been predicted by FMI for the global n-propyl alcohol market during the forecast period.
Moreover, as an inert ingredient, n-propanol is a cosolvent and solvent in many pesticide products, including those used in agriculture. Thus, growing demand for these pesticide products will eventually boost the sales of n-propanol over the projected period.
