1,3-Propanediol (PDO) Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Application (Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT), Polyurethane (PU), Cleaning Products, Cosmetics, Personal Care, Others)and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

1,3-Propanediol (PDO) is organic compound having formula CH₂(CH₂OH)₂. Thhis compound is a colourless three diol  viscous liquid miscible in water. 1,3-Propanediol have major application in formation of polymers such as polytrimethylene teraphthalate, polyuretahane, and cosmetics. This oragnic compound is usually natural produced from micro-organisms such as klebsiella, enterobacter, citrobacter, and clostridium under anaerobic consditions. Furthermore, commercially they are mainly formed through the hydration of acrolein. There are other alternative methods for production such as hydroformylation of ethylene oxide, and bioprocessing of micro-organisms.

The market for 1,3-Propanediol (PDO) is driven by the rising demand for bio-based products. More of the consumer base if shifting towards natural and bio-based products due to increasing governmental regulations and slow depletion of natural resources. Additionally, use of bio-based products help in energy consumption and less pollution in the environment. This is expected to drive the market for 1,3-Propanediol (PDO).

The market 1,3-Propanediol (PDO) will be affected due to lack of awareness regarding industrial applications. In Growing economies PDO is mainly used for cosmetics and personal care and are less aware about the industrial applications such as formation of polymers and food flavours and others. Moreover, governmental regulations over environmental concerns also affect the market growth, thus restraining the market for 1,3-Propanediol (PDO).
