Geography 2021-2026
Market Overview
Furfural is an organic compound derived from plant materials such as corncobs, oat, wheat bran,
rice husk, bagasse, and saw dust. It is usually produced from agricultural wastes rich in pentosans
that are hydroysed to produce furfural and its byproducts. Furfural is a colorless oil that readily
dissolves in various organic solvents and is slightly soluble in water. It exhibits chemically similar
properties as that of other aldehydes and aromatic compounds. It can be readily hydrogenated to
tetrahydrofurans derivatives, which when are heated with acids results into solidified polymer or
thermosetting polymer. Hence, it is commercially considered as a renewable, non-petroleum based
chemical feedstock.

Market Dynamics
Increasing inclination of the populace towards renewable energy to replace fossil resources is a
major factor driving growth of the furfural market. Due to its key attributes of thermosetting
properties, physical strength, and corrosion resistance, furfural has emerged as an immediate
alternative to furan-based chemicals. Also, it is derived from abundantly available biomass, which
makes it a highly preferred biomass-based chemical. Furfural is mainly used to produce furfuryl
alcohol, which is widely used in manufacturing polymers, textiles, and construction materials. The
raw materials for furfural production are the agricultural wastes which are widely available in the
Asia-Pacific region, especially in China, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The abundant availability
of raw materials and low cost labor available in these countries is another factor driving the furfural
market in Asia Pacific. Hence, it is also widely used in production of agricultural formulations such
as herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, and other synthetic chemical compounds.
