Report Summary

2017年全球丁烷市场规模估计为660亿美元，预计将从2018年至2026年以7.3％的CAGR增长。丁烷是最重要的天然气液体之一，用于住宅，商业的不同目的和工业应用。其全球市场是由液化石油气（LPG）和石油化工生产的大规模需求驱动。

Butane as LPG is used in residential and commercial applications for cooking and heating purposes. The global butane industry is governed by the oil and natural gas companies from both the private and public sectors. Increased use of LPG in rural areas of advanced developing countries such as India on account of eliminating dependency on forest wood and incomplete combustion caused by the same have further increased the demand for butane.

石化生产是丁烷的另一个至关重要的应用。石化石化的生长高度依赖于塑料等最终用品产品的消耗量增加。由于全球人口和城市化的增加，消费者人均收入增加，物质科学的进步以及快速推进的市场参与者，成品的需求具有巨大的需求。丁烷与其他天然气液体（丙烷）相比，由于美国页岩革命，丙烷变得普遍存在，因此目睹了较低的连续市场长度。然而，页岩革命也在丁烷的分级，出口基础设施和当地石化设施的投资也比丙烷慢。

The supply and demand changes for butane are driven entirely by the regional supply and demand across the world. For instance, the export growth from the U.S. will affect different regions of the world both directly and indirectly. The direct effects include imports into Asia and Europe, whereas the indirect effects include the longer-term impact of U.S. export growth on petrochemical regional investments. Normal butane is mainly applied as a blend stock of gasoline and as a feedstock for isomerization for production of isobutane as a feedstock for petrochemicals to produce butadiene as a precursor of synthetic rubber. High purity isobutane has been rapidly gaining popularity as is being used as a refrigerant that has helped replacing halomethanes that causes depletion of ozone layer.

Production of normal butane has been trending higher 2014. However, net product production varies seasonally within the refineries owing to seasonal differences for demand of gasoline and regional differentiation in vapor pressures. Demand for isobutanes have also been increasing exponentially in the recent past few years, due to rising production in natural gas processing facilities. But, the refineries consumption higher amounts of it than they even produce. It is mainly mixed with propane that are transported via dedicated pipelines of LPG for its use in commercial and residential buildings for cooking, heating, and even refrigeration. It is also used in batches of purity products in petroleum product pipelines.

细分分析

Liquified petroleum gas (LPG) is the largest application segment for the butane market. Increasing consumption of LPG as fuel for heating and cooking purposes in commercial and residential applications has immensely contributed to the growth of butane market. Refineries also utilize butane in different blends to modify the octane rating.

石化也是丁烷市场的利润丰厚的应用，预计将成为市场增长最快的部分。丁烷也用于生产其他化学品，如乙烯，环氧丙烷，苹酸酐和甲基叔丁基醚（MTBE）。丁烷的炼油厂应用超过总市场份额的11％。

区域分析

Asia Pacific is the largest regional market for butane with China as the major contributing nation. Supportive government policies and subsidies in countries such as India have significantly contributed to the growth of LPG which in turn has resulted in increased demand of butane. Moreover, growth of end-use industries such as automobile and petrochemical downstream sector have led to increased consumption of butane in Asia Pacific.

北美预计将成为与美国丁烷市场的第二大区。作为一个主要的贡献国家。该国的页岩革命的快速发展受到了丁烷市场的积极影响。预计北美将在长期内为天然气液体的可持续供应做出贡献。Many companies in the U.S. including Targa Resources Partners, Phillips 66, Sunoco Logistics, Enterprise Products Partners, etc. have recently built several new hydrocarbon gas liquids facilities for exports, primarily along the gulf coast in order to exploit the opportunities of rising supply of butane in the area.

Competitive Analysis

The global butane market constitutes international and national market players which are majorly governing the oil & gas sector. It comprises of both public and private players globally. Butane industry is moderately consolidated with companies competing in terms of refinery output, expansion, and distribution. Some of the significant market players in the butane industry include Exxon Mobil Corporation, British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell, Total S.A., China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), and China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (SINOPEC).
