Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol (MIBC) Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing demand from the construction industry is notably driving the MIBC market growth, although factors such as the hazardous effects of MIBC derivatives may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key MIBC Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global methyl isobutyl carbinol market growth is the increasing demand from the construction industry. Construction is currently a growing business in various rising economies in the Asia-Pacific and South America. In seasonally adjusted figures, private sector dwellings climbed 15.1% monthly and 57.5% annually in February 2021, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). According to the United States Census Bureau, in the fourth quarter of 2019 (October to December), repair and maintenance of non-housing and public housing grew by 1.6% and 0.9 %, respectively, in the UK. Furthermore, construction output in November 2020 was 0.6% higher than in February 2020, with repair and maintenance work increasing by 7.4%. Such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Key MIBC Market Trend
Increasing demand from the flourishing automotive industry is one of the key methyl isobutyl carbinol market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. For instance, according to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), passenger car sales in India in November 2020 were 291,001 units, up from 279,365 units in November 2019, a 4.17% increase. In addition, in the latter half of 2020, to maintain the social distancing norms and to avoid exposure to COVID-19 infection people started preferring their own personal vehicles for travelling purposes. Moreover, in 2018, the total demand for electric vehicles in Japan reached 27,000 units, a 250% increase over the preceding ten years. In 2018, 1.4 million HVs were sold, representing a 130 per cent raise over the previous ten years. Thus, the demand for methyl isobutyl carbinol, which is used in the production of lube oil additives, may increase as lube oil demand rises in the forecast period.
Key MIBC Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global methyl isobutyl carbinol market growth is the hazardous effects of MIBC derivatives. Changes in demand and the availability of alternatives are also expected to have a detrimental influence on the industry in the near future. Acute (short-term) MIBC exposure can cause human weariness, headache, nausea, lightheadedness, vomiting, dizziness, incoordination, and narcosis by irritating the eyes and mucous membranes. Chronic long-term occupational exposure to methyl isobutyl ketone has been linked to nausea, headaches, eye burning, lethargy, insomnia, gastrointestinal pain, and minor liver enlargement in humans. Such factors are expected to limit the MIBC market growth in the coming years.
This methyl isobutyl carbinol market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
