By Application, the PTT segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

The 1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PDO) market is projected to experience robust growth due to the increasing demand for Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT), a polyester with superior properties. As a crucial ingredient in PTT production, 1,3-PDO's demand is escalating. PTT, which exhibits enhanced tensile and flexural strengths, better surface finish, and cost-effectiveness compared to PBT, is gaining popularity for its chemical resistance at room temperature. This resistance includes various chemicals such as carbon tetrachloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, gasoline, perchloroethylene, alcohols, oils, fats, glycols, ethers, dilute acids and bases, and esters.

By Source, Bio-based  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

The global 1,3-Propanediol (PDO) market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for bio-based products.
