Butanediol is mainly segmented into four isomers named as 1,2-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4butanediol and 2,3-butanediol. Among all, 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO) is widely used and finds application

in manufacturing tetrahydrofuran, which is the important raw material for producing spandex. Spandex

is generally known for its elasticity and strength, and used to manufacture sports apparels. Growing

sports apparels demand is expected to be the major factor driving the tetrahydrofuran market, which in

turn likely to drive the global 1,4-BDO market over the next six years.

Increasing sports events around the world is projected to have positive impact on global 1,4-BDO market

over the forecast period. 1,4-BDO also used to manufacture polyurethanes, which has wide range of
