Global 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) Market Report (2026–2036)
Market Overview
1,4-Butanediol (BDO), with the molecular formula HOCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OH, is a colorless, viscous organic compound and one of the most important C4 diols in the global chemical industry. BDO serves as a critical platform chemical, enabling the production of a wide range of downstream polymers, solvents, and specialty materials used in textiles, automotive, electronics, construction, pharmaceuticals, and medical applications.
The global BDO market is structurally dominated by its conversion into Tetrahydrofuran (THF), which accounted for over 52% of total market revenue in 2025. THF is primarily polymerized into polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG), the key precursor for spandex fibers used in sportswear, medical textiles, hygiene products, and automotive interiors. Lifestyle changes, growing demand for stretchable fabrics, and expansion of automotive interior applications continue to support strong THF/PTMEG demand.
The global BDO market was valued at USD XX million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD XX million by 2036, growing at a CAGR of XX% during 2026–2036. Growth momentum is further supported by engineering plastics (PBT), polyurethanes (PU), and gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) applications, alongside the gradual emergence of bio-based BDO production routes.
