Gamma Valerolactone (CAS 108-29-2) is colorless liquid. It is one of the more common lactones. GVL is chiral but is usually used as the racemate. It can be used to produce food flavors, used as solvent for resins, monomer intermediate, lubricant, plasticizer and so on. In 2024, global Gamma Valerolactone production reached approximately 26552 MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 19 per kg.
Gamma-valerolactone (GVL) is a renewable organic compound derived mainly from biomass sources such as lignocellulosic materials. It serves as a versatile green solvent, fuel additive, and intermediate in the production of chemicals, polymers, and pharmaceuticals. Its environmentally friendly profile, biodegradability, and relatively low toxicity make it attractive in applications where sustainable alternatives are sought to replace petroleum-based solvents and intermediates. GVL is also being explored as a platform molecule for producing biofuels and value-added chemicals, further enhancing its strategic importance in the shift toward a circular and bio-based economy.
The market for gamma-valerolactone is driven by the growing demand for green solvents in industrial processes, the need for sustainable fuel additives, and the rising interest in bio-based chemicals. Key end-use industries include chemicals, energy, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, with research and development playing a significant role in expanding its commercial viability. However, challenges such as high production costs and limited large-scale manufacturing capacity currently restrict its widespread adoption. As advances in biomass conversion technologies mature and scale up, the market is expected to expand steadily, with strong opportunities in regions focusing on renewable energy and sustainable chemical production.
