LONDON – The long-bespoken contaminative harm of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) has been a major environmental concern for a long time already. A number of countries in Europe, North America and Asia have phased out the material – a ban on MTBE usage in gasoline industry has been adopted a many developed countries thus leading to steeply falling demand levels across the world. Today’s utilization level of MTBE rests at less than 75%.
Nevertheless China remains the key consumer of MTBE – its usage is supported by the need to improve fuel quality. Moreover the countries of South America and Africa, and some Middle Eastern regions also preserve relatively high demand rates on the MTBE market. The consumption here is the major driver for MTBE import from Europe.
Expert review of the methyl tertiary butyl ether market and its projected future developments are the focus of the new market research report “Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE): 2012 World Market Outlook and Forecast up to 2017”. The report offer a thorough study of the global, regional and country markets of MTBE and provides examination of market information that relates to the past and present and demonstrates the market future up to 2017.
The report offers an insightful analysis of the MTBE production and demand volumes, demand and supply trends, prices for the material during various periods and trade developments. Major marketers’ profiles are presented along with the competitive landscape discussion. The future projections demonstrate the future of the market in the coming five years – its trends, opportunities, volumes and prices.
