Market Overview

The global dioctyl terephthalate market was valued at USD 1,203.2 million in 2018 and is expected to rise to a valuation of USD 1,864.7 million by 2023 at a 9.16% CAGR from 2018 to 2023 (forecast period), as per the latest findings by Market Research Future (MRFR).

Market Overview:

Market Research Future (MRFR) has launched a new report on the Global Dioctyl Terephthalate Market. The report studies the market’s historical and present statistics in order to come up with reliable forecasts for the market’s likely growth trajectory over the 2018-2023 forecast period. According to the report, the global dioctyl terephthalate market is expected to rise from a 2018 valuation of USD 1,203.2 million to USD 1,864.7 million by 2023 at a CAGR of 9.16%.

Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) is the diester of terephthalic acid and is widely used as a non-phthalate plasticizer. Its toxicological and physical characteristics, such as high thermal resistance, high transparency, and excellent durability, are well suited for this application. The growing regulatory support to replacing phthalates with more environmentally viable alternatives is likely to drive the global dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) market over the forecast period. Phthalates have also been linked to a number of diseases ranging from asthma to breast cancer, which has also driven the demand for alternatives. The safer, toxicologically harmless dioctyl terephthalate is thus likely to take their place in the increasingly lucrative consumer goods and plastics markets in the coming years.

The production of 2-ethylhexanoic acid during the biodegradation of DOTP is likely to emerge as a major opportunity for players in the dioctyl terephthalate market over the forecast period. 2-ethylhexanoic acid has a wide range of industrial applications, including as an automotive coolant, synthetic lubricant, wetting agent, and a defoaming agent in pesticides. Biodegradation of dioctyl terephthalate by the Rhodococcus rhodochrous bacteria, in the presence of a carbon source such as hexadecane, releases significant quantities of 2-ethylhexanoic acid. The commercial production of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, on the other hand, is significantly more expensive, which has led to the popularity of the DOTP method increasing among key players.

While the increasing demand for phthalate alternatives is likely to be a driver for the global dioctyl terephthalate market, the abundance of such alternatives is likely to be a major restraint against the market. There a large number of commercial alternatives to conventional phthalates, which can lead to a dissolution of demand from the DOTP market.
