2-Pyrrolidone Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)

Report Code: CMR 75511 Report Format: PDF + Excel

2-Pyrrolidone Market Overview

Global 2-pyrrolidone market size is forecast to reach US$532.7 million by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 3.8% during 2022-2027. Increasing usage of 2-pyrrolidone as a precursor for N-vinylpyrrolidone synthesis, a solvent for animal injection, an optical co-solvent in the formulation of water-based inks, a process solvent for membrane filters, and a copolymer for floor polishes, is driving the growth of the market. Also, the rising demand for 2-pyrrolidone as a pharmaceutical derivative in cotinine, doxapram, piracetam, povidone, and ethosuximide is uplifting the global 2-pyrrolidone market growth. Additionally, 2-pyrrolidone is widely used as raw materials in the cosmetics industry. As such the rising growth of the cosmetics sector is estimated to propel the global 2-pyrrolidone industry forward over the forecast period.

COVID – 19 Impact:

The Covid-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth of the global 2-pyrrolidone industry in the year 2020. Halt in several ongoing construction activities declined the demand for paints and coatings which dipped the demand of the market. For instance, according to the Journal published by the Institute of Physics Organization, the COVID-19 outbreak caused a US$5 billion loss in the Australian construction sector. Also, the shutdown of several other end-use sectors such as the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, electronics, detergents and other industries impacted the demand for 2-pyrrolidone. Thus, this reduced the consumption of 2-pyrrolidone which widely declined the market growth.

2-Pyrrolidone Market Segment Analysis – By Application

Solvents held the largest share in the global 2-pyrrolidone market and is expected to continue its dominance over the period 2022-2027. Owing to the alluring characteristics, 2-pyrrolidone is the widely used solvent. It has a high boiling point and is miscible with practically all other organic solvents such as (ethers, alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, carbon disulfide, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and others). Additionally, the usage of global 2-pyrrolidone as solvents in synthetic resin, agricultural chemicals, and others is driving the growth of the industry. Synthetic resin is widely used in the production of glues, surface coatings, and synthetic textile fibres. In the upcoming years with the rising growth of the paints & coatings industry, the demand for synthetic resins is set to rise. Thus, which would further drive the growth of the global 2-pyrrolidone industry.

2-Pyrrolidone Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry

The cosmetics sector dominated the global 2-pyrrolidone market with 23.6% in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% during 2022-2027. The cosmetics industry is the largest consumer of 2-pyrrolidone, which is used as solvents in the skin care products. Also, 2-pyrrolidone is majorly used as a raw material in the cosmetic production. Rising growth and increasing demand for cosmetics is one of the major factor determining the growth of the global 2-pyrrolidone industry. For instance, according to the International Trade Administration, China is estimated to become the largest global market for cosmetic products within the next five years. In recent years, China's cosmetics business has grown steadily, driven by increased demand for premium products and an increase in the number of working women. By 2025, the personal care and cosmetic items in China is predicted to incline by 6.3%.

2-Pyrrolidone Market Segment Analysis – By Geography
