Pentane Market Outlook - 2021–2030
The global pentane market size was valued at $105.7 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $159.8 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2021 to 2030.
Pentane is an organic compound having chemical formula of C5H12, which consists of five carbon atoms that are linked together to form a single bond. It is a hydrocarbon, which possesses gasoline-like odor and is burnt as fuel. Pentane has several industrial uses, including its use to create blowing agent to further form a polystyrene.
Growth of global pentane market is driven by increase in demand for pentane from various end-user industries, low cost of pentane, and its beneficial chemical properties, including higher strength compared to other alkanes and superior volatility. Moreover, increase in usage of pentane in fuel blending and formulation is expected to create opportunities for the end-user industries to generate more polystyrene to make insulation materials. However, the implementation of stringent regulations toward usage of pentane hampers the global pentane market.
The global pentane market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. Depending on type, it is classified into n-pentane, isopentane, and neopentane. By application, it is segregated into blowing agent, electronic cleansing, chemical solvent, and others. Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Comprehensive competitive analysis and profiles of major market players, such as Royal Dutch Shell PLC., Phillips 66 Company, ExxonMobil Corporation, TOP Solvent Co., Ltd., Haltermann Carless UK Ltd., INEOS AG, LG Chem Ltd., SK Innovation Co., Ltd., Yeochun NCC Co., Ltd., and Maruzen Petrochemical Co., Ltd., are considered in the report.

Analyst Review
Pentane is widely used in manufacturing of polystyrene foam as a blowing agent. Low cost compared to other chemical compounds, low boiling point, and relative safe when in use are some key advantages of pentane, which propel its consumption across the globe. Geothermal power stations use pentane in binary cycle systems, owing to its lower boiling point compared to other substitutes. Moreover, pentane is widely applicable in pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and paints & coatings, owing to its advantages as a chemical solvent, such as it gives cleaner extracts compared to other alkanes.
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam is applied for insulation of household & commercial appliances, cooling containers, for formulation of boards & panels, pipes, and other similar applications.
Based on type, in pentane industry, n-pentane generated maximum revenue in 2020, as it is one of the key components of condensate compounds derived from natural gas production.
