Growing awareness regarding usage of renewable materials instead of petrochemicals among industry
players is driving the global furfural market. Environmental awareness regarding replacement of nonrenewable resources such as petrochemicals with renewable alternatives has compelled manufacturers to
increase production of biomass-based platform chemicals. This has boosted the potential of furfural as a
platform for the production of biofuels and biochemicals. Furfural offers attractive thermosetting
properties, physical strength, and corrosion resistance. It is a source of natural precursor to a wide range of
furan-based chemicals and solvents such as methylfuran, furfuryl alcohol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol,
tetrahydrofuran, methyltetrahydrofuran, dihydropyran, and furoic acid. Growing penetration of furfural in
various new applications is boosting the global furfural market. However, inefficient production process of
furfural with low yield acts as a major restraint of the market. Lower yield leads to high operating costs,
thus increasing the final product cost. Owing to high product cost the commercial application of furfural is
limited. Low cost of furfural is likely to result in higher penetration in these industries.
Furfuryl alcohol was the major application segment of the furfural market, accounting for more than 80%
share in 2014. Furfuryl alcohol is anticipated to be the fastest-growing application segment of the furfural
market during the forecast period. Furfuryl alcohol is primarily utilized in resins used as binders in the
foundry industry. It offers excellent binding properties and mechanical strength as required in sand molds
and cores in foundries. Solvents is another major application of furfural. Furfural is used as a solvent during
the manufacture of refractory materials, resin-bonded grinding wheels, and butadiene extraction due to its
excellent physical properties. Furfural is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry to manufacture
active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other pharmaceutical intermediaries.
In terms of volume, Asia Pacific held the largest share of the furfural market in 2014. The trend is likely to
continue during the forecast period. Asia Pacific accounted for more than two third share of the global
furfural market in terms of volume. China is the largest producer and consumer of furfuryl alcohol due to
strong industrial and manufacturing base. The significant growth in the foundry industry in India and Japan
are anticipated to propel demand for furfural in the near future. The furfural market in Europe is expected
to witness sluggish growth during the forecast period due to slow economic growth in the region. Growth of
the furfural market in regions such as North America, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa is likely to
remain moderate due to high furfural cost and limited commercial application
