Scarcity of non-renewable resources like crude oil will drive growth in the Global Bio-ketones Market, which is expected to post a CAGR of 6.86 percent from 2014-2019, says research firm TechNavio.

About the Report

Bio-ketones are environment-friendly organic compounds that are produced from bio-based raw materials. They are used as solvents in the paint and coatings sector, as preservatives, and in hydraulic fluids.

The latest report by TechNavio focuses on bio-based chemicals, which are replacing traditional petroleum-based chemicals because of rising oil prices. It is estimated that in the coming years crude oil reserves will be depleted, resulting in major supply constraints of basic raw materials required for chemical production.

“Large reserves of bio-based feedstock are expected to be available in the coming years, especially in the APAC region, because the raw materials required are renewable,” says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of TechNavio.

The TechNavio report also pinpoints demand from the auto industry as a major factor contributing to market growth. Environment-friendly chemicals such as PEEK, a lightweight and high-strength material, are finding increased use in the automobile sector to improve fuel efficiency. This will help drive uptake of bio-ketones over the projected period.
