Scope of the Report

The global Prenol 331 market size is predicted to grow from US$ 408 million in 2025 to US$ 559 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2026 to 2032.

Prenol 331 (referring to 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, CAS No. 763-32-6) is a colorless, transparent, irritating, and flammable liquid. It is a key intermediate in the fine chemical industry, primarily used in the production of TPEG (isoprenol polyoxyethylene ether) to manufacture high-performance water-reducing agents. It also has applications in fragrance synthesis and other fields.

The upstream core materials include isobutylene and formaldehyde, which are condensed through the classic Prins reaction. The midstream involves the research and deep processing of high-purity isopentenol. The technological barriers lie in the efficient separation of isomers and the ultra-high purity distillation processes required for different applications. The largest downstream demand comes from cement water-reducing agents.

Global sales are projected to reach approximately 100,000 tons in 2025, with an average selling price of US$4,125 per ton. The industry's gross profit margin is between 20% and 30%.

Global key Prenol 331 players cover Kuraray, BASF, Jilin Zhongxin Chemical, Zhejiang NHU, China Catalyst Huabang (Dongying), etc.
