Polyurethane is estimated to be the largest application of 1,6-hexanediol during the forecast period.

The polyurethanes segment is the largest application of 1,6-hexanediol market, in terms of value and volume. This dominance is expected to continue till 2025. The market in the polyurethanes application is driven by the consumption in thermoplastic polyurethanes elastomers, coatings, and foams.

Europe is estimated to be the largest market for 1,6-hexanediol during the forecast period.

Europe is estimated to account for the largest share of the 1,6-hexanediol market during the forecast period. This is attributed to the presence of major market players such as BASF SE (Germany), Perstorp AB (Sweden), and Lanxess Aktiengesellschaft (Germany). The increasing demand for PU, coatings, and adhesives in automobile applications is driving the consumption of 1,6-hexanediol in the region.

The key players operating in the global 1,6-hexanediol market include BASF SE (Germany), Fushun Tianfu Chemicals Co., Ltd. (China), Lanxess Aktiengesellschaft (Germany), Linshui Nanming Chemical Co., Ltd. (China), Perstorp AB (Sweden), Ube Industries, Ltd. (Japan), Shandong Yuanli Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (China), Zhengzhou Meiya Chemical Products Co., Ltd. (China), Hefei TNJ Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (China),  and Prasol Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. (India).

Europe is considered to be the most active regions, in terms of strategic initiatives. In September 2018, BASF SE announced an increase in the production capacity of 1,6-hexanediol at its Ludwigshafen Verbund site by more than 50% after the start of production in 2021. After this expansion, the company capacity of 1,6-hexanediol will be more than 70,000 metric tons per year. The 1,6-hexanediol   produced from the facility will be used in the high-growth industries, such as automotive, furniture, and packaging.
