Market Definition
Isopropyl alcohol basically has a sharp, musky odor and is a colorless, flammable liquid. It is usually formed by the hydration reaction or hydrogenation of acetone by mixing water and propene. This compound is entirely water-missile and is used as a solvent for various compounds such as ethyl cellulose, natural resins, acrylic and epoxy resins, polyvinyl butyral, gum alkaloids, and others essential oils.
Isopropyl Alcohol Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers
- High Demand for Isopropyl Alcohol
The rising demand for the pharmaceutical business product is used to make hand sanitizers, disinfection pads, oral mouthwashes, and eardrops. Furthermore, rising product demand due to low toxicity and high evaporation rates, rising product usage in the cosmetic and personal care industry, and the rapidly growing flat panel display and LED manufacturing industries are some of the major and vital factors that will likely augment the growth of the isopropyl alcohol market in the forecast timeframe.
Furthermore, the increasing levels of disposable income of the people, rising population, and rapid urbanization across the globe will further propel the growth rate of the isopropyl alcohol market. Additionally, the existing downstream specialty chemical marketspace will also drive market value growth.
Opportunities
- Awareness and Advanced Manufacturing
Furthermore, the increasing awareness on personal hygiene extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. Additionally, the advanced manufacturing technologies enable the industry to achieve better yield rates and produce high-purity grades, which will further expand the future growth of the isopropyl alcohol market.
Restraints/Challenges
- Concerns Regarding Health
Health concerns from exposure and the availability of alternative methods for producing acetone would likely function as market limitations for the expansion of isopropyl alcohol in the forecasted timeframe.
- Stringent Regulations
The increasing government regulations will be the biggest and most significant impediment to the market's growth.
Moreover, the diminishing market for CD drives are also expected to hamper growth of the global isopropyl alcohol market.

COVID-19 Impact on Isopropyl Alcohol Market
The recent outbreak of coronavirus had a positive impact on the isopropyl alcohol market. Hand washing and wearing a mask are two of the most common safety elements during COVID. As a result, individuals choose alcohol-based hand sanitizer as a quick alternative to washing their hands with soap and water. Isopropyl alcohol accounts for 70% of the volume of this sanitizer. The need for hand sanitizers has increased as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Chemical manufacturing companies moved output at sites to accommodate the global demand for hand sanitizers. Isopropyl alcohol is currently being used mostly in hand sanitizers in the pharmaceutical industry. Other pharmaceutical items such as swabs, alcohol wipes, disinfectants, hand sanitizers, oral mouthwash, and others are driving up demand for isopropyl alcohol during this epidemic. Isopropyl is also utilised in manufacturing inks, agricultural chemicals, and resin, among other things. Therefore, the demand for the market has largely seen an accelerated growth.
The severe disruptions in various manufacturing and supply-chain operations due to the various precautionary lockdowns imposed by governments to curb the spread of disease les to huge financial setbacks for the market. Furthermore, consumer demand has decreased as people are now more focused on removing non-essential expenses from their budgets since the general economic situation of most people has been badly impacted by the outbreak. Over the forecast period, the aforementioned determinants will weigh the market's revenue trajectory over the forecast period.
On the brighter side, the market is estimated to revive as individual regulatory bodies begin to relax these enforced lockdowns. The suspended and cancelled operations will continue and as a result the market is estimated to expand.
Recent Developments
In September 2021, BASF announced a new range of catalysts that would aid in the production of isopropyl alcohol, a key ingredient in hand sanitizers, which are in high demand due to the novel coronavirus epidemic. Ni 3354 E, a firm's high-performance and high-quality oxo alcohol catalyst, combines remarkable selectivity and activity. This catalyst has been tested and approved for the production of isopropyl alcohol from acetone hydrogenation.
