Pyrrolidone Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (2-Pyrrolidone, N-Methylpyrrolidone, N-Octylpyrrolidone and N-Vinylpyrrolidone), By End-Use Industry (Chemical, Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care, Electronics and Other) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Pyrrolidone or 2-pyrrolidone is an organic compound and simplest of the gamma-lactams. It consists of a 5-membered lactam. It is colorless hygroscopic liquid, soluble in water and most common organic solvents. It is widely used to manufacture Pyrrolidone derivatives widely used in industrial sector. It is employed in natural gas extraction process from a mixture of crude oil. It is also used in synthesis of various drugs, herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, and insecticides.

Increasing demand for natural gas is expected to raise the demand for pyrrolidone. Increasing technological advancement in extraction processes have boosted the natural gas exploration activities which further increased the demand for Pyrrolidone. Additionally, increasing demand from chemical and pharmaceutical sector for pyrrolidone derivatives like NMP, n-octylpyrrolidone, n-vinylpyrrolidone, and others is likely to fuel the demand for pyrrolidone.

However, there are certain stringent regulations imposed by regulatory authorities regarding the use and exposure limit for pyrrolidone. This is likely to hinder the market growth.
