ALBANY, New York, September 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

The top five companies in the global furfural derivatives market together accounted for 57% of the overall market in 2015. These players are Penn A Kem LLC, Nova Molecular Technologies, Inc., Sinochem Qingdao Co. Ltd., Hongye Chemical Co. Ltd., and Corbion NV. The growing presence of small and large companies has intensified the competition in the global furfural derivatives market, states Transparency Market Research, and the degree of rivalry is likely to remain high throughout the forecast period.

Pricing plays a key role in this competitive environment since the cost of furfural derivatives is relatively high. This also means that the threat of substitutes is rather high. "Synthetic process materials such as ethanol are lower priced and can be used in place of furfural derivatives," the author of the study states. This threat has compelled players in the market to engage in partnerships and joint ventures so as to increase their production capacity and lower the prices of furfural derivatives. One such company that has focused on joint ventures and acquisitions to increase production capacity is Hongye Chemical. Headquartered in China, Hongye Chemical reportedly possesses the largest production base for furfuryl alcohol and furfural in the world and, in 2015, reported a production capacity of 150,000 MT of furfuryl alcohol.

Rising Environmental Awareness among Consumers a Growth Driver

Rising concerns among consumers pertaining to the adverse effects of fossil-based resources on the environment have resulted in the widespread replacement of non-renewable sources with renewable and bio-based alternatives. Strict environmental regulations have also encouraged the use of bio-based products in a number of end-use industries. This has greatly driven the demand for furfural derivatives, which are mainly used for the production of biofuels and biochemicals. The rising demand in Asia Pacific, the leading market for furfural derivatives, is also anticipated to significantly boost the global market.

On the flip side, safety issues regarding the transportation of furfural and its derivatives is a major area of concern for this market. Different countries have different restrictions and legislations pertaining to transportation and export and this could pose a threat to the growth of the market in the coming years.
