Furfural Market Dynamics

Drivers Increasing demand for furfuryl alcohol

Furfuryl alcohol, also known as 2-furylmethanol is an organic composite, comprising a furan substituted by a hydroxymethyl group. Furfural, which is a derivative of corncobs and sugarcane bagasse, undergoes catalytic reduction in order to form furfuryl alcohol. Furfuryl alcohol is generally used as a solvent; however, its key application is as a chemical intermediate in the production of several chemical products, comprising adhesives, wetting agents, and foundry resins. Furfuryl alcohol has witnessed high demand since 2016, owing to the growing usage of the product in the foundry, agriculture, and construction industries, among others. The product is largely used in resins and plastics applications. A surge in research and development activities in the segment of rocket fuel is predicted to boost the demand for furfuryl alcohol. The products also play an indispensable role in manufacturing in the foundry sector in the formulation of molds for metal casting.

Growth in foundry industry

The metal casting sector is important to the underlying security and financial development of numerous countries across the world. The foundries melt non-ferrous as well as ferrous alloys and dispense them into molds to profile them into finished goods by means of solidification. Furfural & its derivatives are used in the foundry sector for the formulation of molds for metal casting. Mounting production of metal castings is predicted to boost the growth of the foundry industry, which is further predicted to boost the demand for furfural. As per the World Foundry Organization, China was listed as the home to the biggest foundry industry across the globe in 2018, with nearly 26,000 foundries in the nation, followed by India, with 4,500 foundries. China’s metal castings production in 2017 held record of approx. 49,000,000 tons, highest across the globe, followed by India at 12,055,100 tons. The Indian foundry sector is a key exporter of several finished foundry goods. The foundry product mix in the country comprises 68% of grey iron, 11 % of non-ferrous, 10% of steel, 10% of S.G. Iron, and 1% of malleable iron.

Restraint Unstable raw material prices

Furfural is manufactured using feedstock, including corncob, sugarcane bagasse, sunflower hull, and rice husk, among others. Corncob, also called grain maize, is the primary raw material in the production of furfural, as it gives a high yield, and contains high pentosane content as compared to other raw materials. Fluctuations in the availability of raw materials can result in price fluctuations of these raw materials, especially corncob. Furfural market has observed fluctuations in furfural prices owing to a surge in raw material prices, concerning the climate changes.
