Japan 2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) Trends & Drivers

The Japanese 2-ethylhexanol market is growing at a healthy rate, owing to the highest share contributed by plasticizers. In Japan, plasticizers are the largest segment of 2-EH. They are used for the production of flexible PVC products, which find industrial applications in the automotive, construction, and electronics industries, among others. There is a rising use of flexible PVC products in plasticizers because of affordability and flexibility, which will be helpful for the growth of the 2-EH market in the coming years. Infrastructure developments rise, and urbanization happens in Japan. This situation will probably create the need for flexible materials in construction, flooring, and other applications. The described need is expected to increase the demand for plasticizers.

Another area for high growth is 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EH Acrylate). The greatest tonnage of 2-EH acrylate is used as a plasticizer. 2-EH Acrylate is one of the most widely used monomers for the manufacture of water-based coatings, adhesives, and sealants. The environmental and regulatory advantages cause this wide use. The growing need for low-emission and green-friendly products drives the growth in automotive paints and coatings and construction materials applications for 2-EH acrylate. The aggressive focus of the Japanese industry towards regulatory compliance and green initiatives is expected to create tremendous growth opportunities for the market players over the coming few years.
