Global Furfural Market is valued at approximately USD XX billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Furfural is a chemical feedstock made from agricultural by-products that are organic, renewable, and non-petroleum based. Furfural is produced mostly from agricultural waste, including maize cobs, rice husks, sugarcane bagasse, cotton husk, oat husk, almond husk, olive press cakes, and others. Chemical compound furfural is colorless or slightly yellowish and rapidly becomes black when exposed to air. Based on residues containing pentosan that are produced during the processing of various agricultural or forest products, furfural is produced. High-pressure steam is used to process furfural in a digester, and the compound is then recovered using steam distillation, water-furfural separation, and purification. The market growth is driven by key factors such as increasing demand from industrial chemicals manufacturing, increase in investment opportunities in chemical industry, and increasing demand for Furfuryl Alcohol.

India’s chemical industry is expected to expand rapidly due to the rising need for chemicals and agrochemicals. The government estimates that the chemical sector would generate USD 304 billion by 2025, with potential provided by the demand growth of around 9% per year over the following five years. With around 168 investment potential and 29 projects under development, the chemical industry offers an investment opportunity worth USD 701,97 million. It is anticipated that India’s foundry sector will expand by more than 13%, reaching 14–15 million metric tonnes by 2021 and 20 million metric tonnes by 2025. However, fluctuating raw material prices stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.

The key regions considered for the Global Furfural Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific is dominating the overall market growth and is expected to be the fastest growing region due to massive furfural production, particularly in China, as well as expansion in a number of end-use industries, including agriculture, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and refineries in the economies of China, India, and Japan
