简介目录

预计 2025 年丁烷市场规模为 2.0482 亿吨,到 2030 年将达到 2.5196 亿吨,预测期内(2025-2030 年)的复合年增长率为 4.23%。

这种碳氢化合物是民用液化石油气和石化原料的关键成分,特别是乙烯和丙烯链,亚太地区的营运商正在建造更多世界一流的裂解装置。

丁烷市场-IMG1

正丁烷支持冬季汽油调和,而异丁烷则增强高辛烷值烷基化油的流动性。正如达拉斯联邦储备银行指出的那样,北美页岩油生产促进了液态天然气的回收,抑制了价格飙升,并解决了区域供应紧张的问题。储存终端的数位孪生技术减少了处理损失,并优化了运输窗口。这些因素缓解了与原油相关的价格波动,并推动了对生产、物流和下游转化资产的投资。

全球丁烷市场趋势与洞察

石化产业需求不断成长

裂解装置产能扩张正在推动丁烷的结构性需求成长,预计2019年至2024年期间中国液化石油气(LPG)原料的消耗量将增加210万桶/日,到2030年还将进一步增加。国际能源总署(IEA)预测,2025年超过一半的液体燃料需求成长将来自丁烷等NGL原料。随着新建工厂稀释价差,下游利润率将收窄,迫使营运商签订长期承购协议并采取增效措施。

金属加工和建设产业的需求增加

丁烷燃烧式焊枪因其火焰温度稳定、烟尘减少、焊接品质和切割精度高等特点,深受工业用户的青睐。使用液化石油气(LPG)钢瓶的可携式加热器,可在寒冷气候下电力供应不稳定的现场作业。儘管高所得国家的电气化程度正在提高,但新兴市场的承包商仍然青睐经济高效的液化石油气解决方案,这推动了亚洲新建工程和非洲基础设施维修的成长。液化石油气的应用也依赖于能够缩短物流「最后一哩路」的钢瓶发行网络,为中游企业创造机会。

原物料价格波动

丁烷与原油和天然气指数的密切相关性,使用户面临价格突然波动的风险,并使采购预算更加复杂。原油价格下跌会导致天然气液体(NGL)价格下跌,而乙烷价格的突然下跌则会增强丁烷与丁烷的相关性,从而增加对冲的复杂性。美国生产者物价指数(PPI)从2025年1月的210.934点下跌至4月的144.296点,跌幅达32%,这给库存规划带来了不确定性。价格风险抑制了资金匮乏地区的新增产能,并推动了对灵活物流的投资,以套利区域价差。

报告中分析的其他驱动因素和限制因素

  1. 丁烷是汽油和柴油的更清洁的替代品,在汽车燃气。
  2. 液化石油气仓储物流数位双胞胎优化
  3. 替代燃料的可用性

細項分析

至2024年,正丁烷将占丁烷市场规模的56.19%,并以4.94%的最快复合年增长率成长至2030年。冬季级汽油需要更高的正丁烷混合比才能满足雷德蒸气压限值,从而确保炼油厂的稳定供应。石化製造商将正丁烷整合到蒸汽裂解装置中,引导C4抽提物流,从而实现丁二烯和抽余油生产之间的灵活切换。

丁烷市场报告按产品类型(正丁烷和异丁烷)、终端用户行业(住宅/商业、工业(包括化学原料)、发动机燃料、炼油厂和其他终端用户行业)、供应商(天然气和炼油厂)以及地区(亚太地区、北美、欧洲、南美、中东和非洲)对南美丁烷市场进行了细分。市场预测以产量(吨)为单位。

区域分析

2024年,亚太地区将占据丁烷市场的54.18%,维持5.28%的最快复合年增长率。中国蒸汽裂解装置的兴起将继续吸引美国NGL货物,到2024年,其将占中国液化石油气(LPG)进口量的56%。

北美仍然是主要的丁烷供应地区,充足的页岩油产量推动了出口成长。 2024年,美国丁烷出口量约50万桶/日,其中41%销往亚洲,36%销往非洲。欧洲市场呈现均衡态势。积极的气候政策正在抑制需求成长,但传统的石化资产正在稳定基准需求。

在中东,透过利用有利的原料,石化产品的扩张将得以维持;而在非洲和南美洲,在哥伦比亚和奈及利亚补贴框架的支持下,气瓶渗透率将会增加。

简介目录
Product Code: 66298

The Butane Market size is estimated at 204.82 Million tons in 2025, and is expected to reach 251.96 Million tons by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.23% during the forecast period (2025-2030).Hydrocarbons serve as key components for residential LPG and petrochemical feedstocks, particularly in ethylene and propylene chains, with Asia-Pacific operators adding world-scale crackers.

Butane - Market - IMG1

Normal butane supports winter gasoline blending, while isobutane enhances high-octane alkylate streams. North American shale output boosts natural gas liquids recovery, curbing price spikes and addressing regional tightness, as noted by the Dallas Fed. Digital twins at storage terminals reduce handling losses and optimize ship-loading windows. These factors mitigate crude-linked pricing volatility and drive investments in production, logistics, and downstream conversion assets.

Global Butane Market Trends and Insights

Growing Demand from the Petrochemical Industry

Expanding cracker capacity spurs structural butane uptake, with China's LPG feedstock pull rising 2.1 million b/d between 2019 and 2024 and more additions scheduled to 2030. The International Energy Agency projects that over half of the 2025 liquids-demand increase will come from NGL feedstocks such as butane. Downstream margins tighten as new plants dilute spreads, pushing operators toward long-term offtake contracts and efficiency measures.

Increasing Demand from the Metalworking and Construction Industry

Industrial users favour butane-fired torches for consistent flame temperatures and lower soot formation, enhancing weld quality and cutting precision. Portable heaters using LPG cylinders support site work in cold climates where the electric supply is unreliable. While electrification gains traction in high-income economies, emerging-market contractors still prefer cost-effective LPG solutions. Growth, therefore, tracks new-build activity in Asia and infrastructure upgrades in Africa. Adoption also hinges on cylinder distribution networks that shorten last-mile logistics, signalling opportunity for midstream players.

Volatility in Raw Material Prices

Butane's close linkage to crude and natural gas indices exposes users to rapid swings that complicate procurement budgets. Lower crude leads to softer NGL pricing, but sudden ethane weakness heightens co-movement with butane, increasing hedge complexity. The US producer-price index dropped from 210.934 in January 2025 to 144.296 in April 2025, a 32% slide that unsettled inventory planning. Price risk discourages greenfield capacity in capital-scarce zones and channels investment into flexible logistics that arbitrage regional spreads.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Growing Usage of Butane in Autogas, a Cleaner Alternative to Gasoline and Diesel
  2. Digital Twin Optimisation of LPG Storage Logistics
  3. Availability of Fuel Alternatives

For complete list of drivers and restraints, kindly check the Table Of Contents.

Segment Analysis

n-Butane held 56.19% of the butane market size in 2024 and posts the fastest 4.94% CAGR to 2030. Winter-grade gasoline necessitates higher normal-butane blend ratios to meet Reid-vapor-pressure limits, securing consistent off-take from refiners. Petrochemical players integrate normal butane into steam crackers oriented toward C4 extraction streams that switch flexibly between butadiene and raffinate production.

The Butane Market Report Segments the Industry by Product Type (n-Butane and Iso-Butane), End-User Industry (Residential/Commercial, Industrial (Including Chemical Feed Stock), Engine Fuel, Refinery, and Other End-User Industries), by Source (Natural Gas and Refining), and by Geography (Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, South America, and Middle East and Africa). The Market Forecasts are Provided in Terms of Volume (Ton).

Geography Analysis

Asia-Pacific commanded 54.18% butane market share in 2024 and sustained the fastest 5.28% CAGR. China's steam-cracker wave continues to pull US NGL cargoes, accounting for 56% of Chinese LPG imports in 2024.

North America remains the supply powerhouse, with ample shale-derived output feeding rising export volumes. The US shipped roughly 500 thousand b/d of butane in 2024, routing 41% to Asia and 36% to Africa. Europe presents a balanced picture: forward-looking climate policy checks demand growth, but legacy petrochemical assets keep baseline offtake steady.

The Middle East leverages advantaged feedstock to sustain petrochemical expansions, while Africa and South America see incremental cylinder penetration supported by subsidy frameworks in Colombia and Nigeria.
