Propylene Oxide (PO) is a colorless and volatile liquid with the chemical formula CH3CHCH2O. It can be produced using traditional methods such as the chlorohydrin or hydroperoxide processes. In the chlorohydrin process, propylene reacts with chlorine and water to form propylene chlorohydrin, which is then converted into PO by reacting it with sodium or calcium hydroxide, resulting in the formation of a chloride salt. In the hydroperoxide process, ethylbenzene or isobutane is oxidized to hydroperoxide, which is further reacted with propylene to produce PO along with significant amounts of styrene monomer or t-butanol co-products.

PO is widely used as a solvent in the manufacture of dipropylene glycol and glycol ethers, which, in turn, are utilized in the production of lubricants, detergents, oil demulsifiers, herbicides, and solvents. Furthermore, it is a crucial feedstock for the production of Polyether Polyols, Propylene Glycol, Glycol Ethers, and other compounds. Polyether Polyols are primarily employed in the production of polyurethanes, which find applications in various industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing. The construction industry, in particular, uses polyurethane foams for applications such as insulation, sealing, and filling gaps, contributing to reduced heat loss and energy consumption.
The global Propylene Oxide (PO) market has experienced growing demand due to urbanization, changing lifestyles, and an increasing number of working-class individuals. As consumers opt for packaged foods and beverages due to longer workdays and a preference for nutrient-rich convenience products, the demand for PO, which is used in the fumigation of foodstuffs like cocoa, starch, nutmeats, and spices, has risen. Additionally, the plasticizer industry presents a potential growth segment, driven by advancements in the global plastics industry.
The Propylene Oxide (PO) market is segmented based on end-use, sales channel, and region. Among the end-user industries, Polyether Polyols dominate the market, accounting for around 70% of the market share in 2022 and expected to maintain their position in the forecast period.
In terms of regional demand, Asia Pacific is the leading consumer of Propylene Oxide (PO), primarily due to its extensive use in industries such as automotive and construction. The rapid industrialization in countries like India, China, and Japan, along with urbanization, has driven the demand for polyurethanes in the region, and this trend is expected to continue in the coming years.
Key players in the global Propylene Oxide (PO) market include LyondellBasell, DOW Chemicals, BASF & Dow, Shell, CNOOC and Shell Petrochemicals Company Limited, Sadara Chemical Company, Jishen Chemical Industry Co. Ltd., Fujian Lianhe Chemical, Zibo Qixiang Tengda Chemical Co., Ltd., Ningbo ZRCC Lyondell Chemical Co., Ltd., SK Chemicals, Blue Planet Eco New Materials, Shandong Befar Group Co., Ltd., Wanhua Chemical Group Co. Ltd., and others.
Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director at TechSci Research, a research-based management consulting firm promoting ChemAnalyst worldwide, emphasizes that the growing demand for Propylene Oxide (PO) as a precursor for polyether polyols, which are further used to manufacture polyurethanes, is expected to drive the expansion of the Propylene Oxide (PO) market until 2032. The versatile mechanical properties of polyurethanes, their resistance to oil and chemicals, abrasion resistance, high-load capacity, and abrasion resistance make them essential materials in various industries. The Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the Propylene Oxide (PO) market in the future due to rapid industrialization and urbanization.
