Furfural Market
REPORT DESCRIPTION
Furfural Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2023
The global furfural market exhibits a highly fragmented structure, with none of the leading players having
significant market share, finds Transparency Market Research in a new study. In 2014, it took six players,
namely, Tieling North Furfural Co. Ltd., Central Romana Corp., Illova Sugar, Xingtai Chunlei Furfuryl Alcohol
Co. Ltd., KRBL Ltd., and Hongye Holding Group Corp. Ltd., to hold around 50% of the overall market.
This fragmentation has led to a strong rivalry between players. To withstand this competition, TMR
recommends participants to improve their current production processes in order to enhance yield and reduce
product cost.

Amplified Popularity of Furfural as Renewable Platform Molecule for Fuel and Chemical Synthesis
Boosts its Application
The growing concerns over adverse environmental effect of fossil fuels, due to high carbon content, have led to
an increased requirement for their ecofriendly renewable alternatives, such as biofuels, across the world.
Furfural, over the past few years, has gained significant popularity as a renewable platform molecule for the
synthesis of fuels and chemicals to produce biofuels and biochemicals from the low-cost and widely available
biomass. This amplified popularity has rocketed its demand in the recent times.
Apart from this, the application of furfural in the pharmaceutical industry, for the production of pharmaceutical
intermediaries and mixtures, has also increased considerably, as it demonstrates the properties of a natural
precursor to a wide range of furan-based chemicals and solvents, including methylfuran, dihydrofuran,
methyltetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrofuran, and furoic acid.

Furfural Market
Going forward, the ongoing expansion of the pharmaceutical industry in the emerging economies, such as
India and China, owing to the presence of potential opportunities, is expected to boost the demand for furfural
substantially in the years to come.
Furfural Market to Suffer from Low Yield due to Inefficiency of Production Processes
Although the future prospects exhibits a thriving market for furfural, the inefficiency of production processes is
likely to impact the production of this organic compound over the next few years. Commercially, furfural is
manufactured through Chinese batch process, Quaker batch process, and Rosenlew continuous process,
which are highly inept and also suffer from low yield, resulting in higher operating as well as product costs.
The application of furfural in chemicals and pharmaceuticals is expected to be negatively influenced to some
extent by this price hike in the forthcoming years.
Global Opportunity in Furfural Market to be Worth US$1.35 bn by 2023
The overall opportunity in furfural, worldwide, will increase from US$450 mn in 2014 to US$1.35 bn by 2023,
says an analyst at TMR. The market is expected to rise at a healthy CAGR of 13.10% during the period from
2015 to 2023.

Asia Pacific has emerged as the key consumer of furfural. The share of this region in the overall demand for
furfural is likely to witness a rise from 78% in 2014 to 82.5% by the end of 2023. China leads the market for
furfural in Asia Pacific. Currently, furfural is primarily utilized in the production of furfuryl alcohol. Analysts
expect this trend to remain the same over the forecast period.
The study presented here is based on a report by Transparency Market Research (TMR) titled “Furfural
Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2015 - 2023.”
