Neopentyl Glycol Market Overview Neopentyl Glycol Market is projected to be worth USD 1.95 Billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period (2021 - 2028). Neopentyl glycol, commonly known as Dimethylolpropan, is a colorless to a white hygroscopic crystalline organic chemical compound. The aldol reaction of formaldehyde and isobutyraldehyde produces intermediate hydroxypivaldehyde, which is used to make neopentyl glycol in the industry. Through catalytic hydrogenation of an aldehyde group to an alcohol group, this can be transformed into neopentyl glycol. The rising usage of neopentyl glycol as a base resin for coatings, hydraulic fuels, greases, and aircraft engine lubricants is a primary driver for the worldwide neopentyl glycol market. It has exceptional qualities such as resistance to oxidation, non-polar chemical nature, and increased heat, light, and water stability. Water, benzene, chloroform, ethanol, and diethyl ether are all soluble in neopentyl glycol. Its demand is also rising as a chemical intermediate in the production of resins, polyesters, alkyd resins, paints, synthetic lubricants, adhesives, and other products. Plasticizers, medications, pesticides, scents, fabric softeners, vibration-dampers, and other products use it as a basis. The rising penetration of neopentyl glycol in paints and coatings, which is complementary to various end-use sectors such as automotive, aircraft, shipbuilding, and construction, is likely to drive the global neopentyl glycol market. Over the evaluation period, heavy investments in infrastructure projects in emerging countries, as well as new product development in medicines and personal care goods, are projected to provide significant prospects for neopentyl glycol.
