Tariffs on imported 1,4-butanediol and its derivatives, especially from countries like China, have raised the cost of imports for the manufacturers located in the United States, leading to higher operational expenses and squeezing profit margins.

Supply chain disruptions and compliance hurdles are expected to cause delays and impacting the production of 1,4-butanediol based products in the current situation.

The rise in tariffs leads to the slowdown of innovation and product adoption, leading to market uncertainty, thus impacting market growth.

Key downstream sectors like automotive, construction, and electronics are experiencing increased costs and potential production delays, leading to market uncertainty.

Key Players Landscape and Outlook

The global 1,4-butanediol market is concentrated, with major global chemical enterprises having large-scale manufacturing networks with high technological capabilities. These large enterprises maintain their leadership position owing to integrated chain value, vast distribution and marketing networks, along with huge production capacity in major regions. Market does highlight a differentiation in global players playing across the borders of diverse markets with broader products and regional specialists focusing either on specific geography-based markets or an application. Major mergers and acquisitions have indeed been seen in recent times, albeit this is significantly focused on gaining geographical presence and attaining technological capacities. Companies are increasingly looking for strategic partnerships and joint ventures, especially in emerging markets, to strengthen their market position and access new customer bases.

For instance, in September 2023, BASF SE obtained long-term access to QIRA bio-based 1,4-butanediol from Qore LLC (Qore). BASF SE and Qore LLC agreed to the production of bio-based 1,4-butanediol at Cargill Inc.'s biotechnology campus and corn refining operation in Eddyville, Iowa. Furthermore, BASF SE expanded its portfolio with bio-based 1,4-butanediol derivatives, including polytetrahydrofuran and tetrahydrofuran. This development helps the company to increase its revenue in the coming years.
