2-Ethylhexanol Market Growth & Trends:
The global 2-ethylhexanol market size is estimated to reach USD 7.68 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 2.8% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing demand for 2-EH acrylate from the paints and coatings industry is one of the key factors driving the market.
Rapid replacement of solvent-based products by waterborne acrylic products, supported by the presence of stringent air emission regulations, is expected to fuel the demand for the product. Replacing solvent-based coatings with waterborne coatings offers various advantages such as easy water and soap clean-up, reduced solvent exposure, and less hazardous waste disposal & associated costs. Besides this, they ensure reduced concerns regarding flammability & impact insurance costs, reduced health risks, and less mixing and minimal waste in case of one-component coatings. These factors are anticipated to positively impact the demand for 2-EH acrylate over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific was the leading market for 2-ethylhexanol in 2016 and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period. The region is projected to exhibit a noteworthy CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the growing market potential in China. Manufacturers in the country are increasing their production capacity to meet the rising demand for 2-EH.
Growing demand from countries such as China, India, and Japan is expected to impact product demand over the forecast years. Increasing disposable income, growing middle-class population, and strengthening economy of aforementioned countries are expected to foster the growth of end-use industries such as automotive and construction, thereby boosting the demand for 2-EH.
