Global oxo alcohols market size surpassed USD 17.5 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow at over 5% CAGR from 2021 to 2027 due to increasing demand for acrylate to produce acrylate polymers. Increasing demand for plasticizers in various industries, such as automotive, construction, and consumer goods, is creating favorable conditions for the market.
Oxo alcohol is a type of alcohol that is produced by adding carbon monoxide along with hydrogen to an olefin to produce an aldehyde by using the hydroformylation reaction. After this, the aldehyde is hydrogenated to obtain the alcohol. Increasing demand for plasticizers in packaging and construction industries coupled with expanding application scope in various solvent formulations is expected to propel the oxo alcohols market.
Solvent formulations are used in printing inks and as additives in polishes & cleaners. These products are hydrogenated aldehydes that are manufactured by addition of carbon mono oxide and hydrogen to an olefin

Main raw materials used in the commercial production of oxo alcohols are propylene, acetylene, and ethylene. These materials act as intermediates in the production of solvents, ether, acetates, as well as plasticizers. They are mainly derived from petrochemical-based feedstocks; thus, any fluctuation in the crude oil index is expected to disturb the supply chain of the market as well as the market profitability.
