Drivers – C4 Olefins (Crude C4) Market
Growing cosmetic and personal care industry
Cosmetics industry in the past few decades has been witnessing a diversion from being recalled as a feminine oriented products base towards a sector serving all the genders hence the entire global population standing out as potential customers. With the inception of male users of cosmetics, the industry is witnessing an unprecedented business. The argument can be well supported by a data sheet by IBEF (India Brand Equity Foundation), stating that men who fall in the age group of 18 to 25, spend more money on grooming and personal care products than women in India. It also states that about 25-30 % of the total salon business comes from men’s treatment. For instance, according to Cosmetic Europe, the personal care and cosmetics industry has witnessed a growth of 1.3% in 2018 as compared to 2017.
Growing rubber industry
One of the major applications of C4 Olefins is in the Manufacture of Synthetic rubbers SBR, PBR, and others from Butadiene and Isobutylene. Butyl rubber is used in adhesives, consumer products, and healthcare sectors. Apart from this, the product is extensively used in the manufacturing of tires. Apparently, the escalating use of the product for repairing roofs has prompt the growth of the butyl rubber industry. Other product applications include sporting equipment, automotive & mechanical goods, vibration isolation, and pharmaceutical closure. According to Automotive Tyre Manufacturers’ Association (ATMA), tyre production in India in 2019 increased by 8% up to 1,919.81 Lakh/Nos from the previous year. In addition, India exported US$1,853,720,000 rubber tire in 2019 that is 1.6% higher than the previous year. In addition, anti-dumping duties imposed on Chinese tyres by the US will help tyre exports to grow in the coming years, which in turn will drive growth for butyl rubber production, which in turn propels the growth of this market. In addition, rubber is also used in the production of automobile components such as hosepipes, gaskets, and window strips. Therefore, the growth in automotive sector is also drive the growth of rubber industry that likely to increase the growth of c4 Olefins market during the forecast period.
Challenges – C4 Olefins (Crude C4) Market
Fluctuating raw material prices and health and safety considerations
There are various factors responsible for the fluctuation of the raw materials such as geopolitical issues between countries, trade war, inflations, employability, labor cost, and growing population. For instance, in 2020, due to the geopolitical issues between the US, Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, there is a decline in crude oil prices. As most of the C4 Olefins (Crude C4) contains crude oil ingredients, so this fluctuation in crude oil prices globally, act as a challenging factor for the growth of this market during the forecast period. However, C4 Olefins (Crude C4) finds its application in many different sectors, but its high flammability, toxic, and hazardous nature is also acting as a restraining factor to the market growth. For instance, direct contact with mixed C4 may cause skin burns. Additionally, Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause central nervous system depression resulting in dizziness, headache. Moreover, Mixed C4s are also harmful to aquatic organisms and do not biodegrade easily.
The emergence of COVID-19
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic due to impact on human health, economy, industries, and others. The outbreak of COVID-19 worldwide is having a noticeable impact on global economic growth. The spread of COVID-19 has disrupted global supply chains and also declined labor availability, consequently impacting manufacturing plants globally. This will ultimately have a direct impact on demand for C4s and derivative products like butadiene, synthetic and natural rubber, and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). Moreover, mostly airplane tires are replaced after roughly 300-400 take-offs and landings. But, because of COVID-19 the restrictions on air travel along with number of flights being substantially reduced, consequently demand for both synthetic and natural rubbers will decrease. That is likely to further reduce demand for rubber, which in turn hamper the growth of this industry. The pandemic is affecting operations of various industries including automotive, tire, aerospace, and others. So, the impact of COVID-19 will be felt for the entire financial year and affect the growth of this market.
