Global Alkylate Market: Introduction


Alkylate is a high-octane blending component for motor gasoline and aviation gasoline. Alkylate is produced by reacting light olefins, such as butylenes, from refinery sources, fluid catalytic cracking units, or from steam cracking units, with isoparaffins, such as isobutane, in the presence of an acidic catalyst.

Global Alkylate Market: Dynamics

A major factor driving growth of the global alkylate market during the forecast period is increasing utilization of alkylate in aviation and automotive industries owing to its properties such as, low sulfur content, low aromatics content, and low vapor pressure. In addition, increasing adoption of alkylate in automotive sector is another factor expected to boost growth of the global alkylate market in the near future owing to alkylate properties of high octane and low volatility hydrocarbon that can be added to aviation fuel, as well as motor gasoline to increase the octane rating, without violating stringent volatility specifications.

Growing demand for alkylate gasoline among forestry applications is expected to drive growth of the global alkylate market owing to increasing utilization and demand for alkylate gasoline in wide range of smaller engines such as lawnmowers, chainsaws, leaf trimmers, outboard engines, snow throwers etc. and for other powered tools.
Furthermore, increasing penetration and growing demands of automobiles and alkylate-blended gasoline is expected to proliferate growth of the global alkylate market. This is primarily due to rising adoption of alkylate used to raise the octane number of gasoline when used as a blend and its ecofriendly feature as compared to MTBE, hence phasing-out of MTBE as a gasoline additive is a factor expected to support growth of the global market to a certain extent.

However, increasing penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) is a major factor expected to restrain growth of the global alkylate market to a certain extent over the forecast period. In addition, growing preference for bioethanol as a superior alternative to gasoline-based fuels with regard to environmental global warming potential is another factor expected to hamper growth of global alkylate market over the forecast period.

Growing demand for automobiles owing to increasing population, rising income levels, changing lifestyle of consumers, coupled with stringent government regulations for vehicle and passenger safety are among some of the major factors expected to increase focus optimization of the production process of alkylates, which can create lucrative growth opportunities for key players in the global alkylate market. Furthermore, development of more cost-effective production processes could help manufacturers to reduce manufacturing overheads and end-product costs, and will help to gain major revenue share in markets across the globe owing to high capital investment associated with manufacturing process of alkylate.
