LPG segment is further divided into the refinery, auto fuel, residential/commercial, industrial, and chemical/petrochemical. This segment dominated the market with 66.1% of total volumes in 2013. The growth could be ascribed to its escalating demand as a fuel for heating and cooking purposes across industrial, household, and commercial sectors.
Butane and its isomers are used as a feedstock for manufacturing various petrochemical intermediates. It is also used for gasoline blending in refineries as oxygenate and to develop its octane ranking. Auto gas is expected to grow at a rapid pace owing to augmented inclination of customers towards the adoption of natural gas vehicles.
Main regional segments in global butane market encompass Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East & Africa (MEA), North America, and Rest of the World (RoW). Asia Pacific led the market with close to 30% of overall demand in 2013. The rising demand of butane in chemical processing plants and refineries in India and China will drive the regional market further.
