Bio-Isobutanol Price Trend for the Second Half of 2023
Bio-Isobutanol is an organically sourced chemical that is an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based isobutanol. Manufacturing bio-isobutanol requires enzymatic fermentation of sugar sources like corn and cane sugar. Thus, the market trends are in close alliance with the market of its feedstock materials corn and sugar cane.

The second half of the year 2023 was largely muted for the bio-isobutanol markets. The Asian market stumbled down in the latter half of said period after wavering in a very limited range during the third quarter. These developments came as the downstream industries struggled during the last few months as the supply chain issues unfolded. The Red Sea issues, along with the drought in the Panama Canal, affected worldwide trade. Overall, highly fluctuating market performance was witnessed in H2’23.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, going forward, the Bio-Isobutanol market is expected to grow since the market demand projects an inclining curve, and the supply situation is likely to improve.
Bio-Isobutanol Price Trend for the First Half of 2023
Bio-Isobutanol prices closely mimic the price trend of its feedstocks, corn, and raw sugar. Bio-Isobutanol prices fluctuated toward the higher end of the curve during the first half of 2023. Initially, the corn prices inclined in the first quarter; however, the prices soon plunged as supplies from Russia and Ukraine arrived in the Asian markets. However, the diversion of supplies for food constricted the material available for biofuels, thereby contributing to higher price patterns.
The sugar prices continuously rose because of the unseasonal weather disruptions. Inventories were already running low due to lowered crop yield, given the heat waves (in Europe), pests, and drought-like conditions this year.
While unseasonal and uneven rainfall, this season further disrupted the crop cycles in India. Sugar prices were at their highest in 11 years in the middle of the 2nd quarter in India. Overall, the price trend for Bio-Isobutanol kept on an inclined trajectory.
Analyst Insight
According to the Procurement Resource, Bio-Isobutanol prices are expected to fluctuate similarly in the upcoming months. The erratic supply and feedstock prices will likely impact the upstream cost pressure and, eventually, the biofuel market.
Bio-Isobutanol Price Trend for the Second Half of 2022
Bio-Isobutanol is becoming increasingly popular in the biofuel industry as it is actively mixed with gasoline and used as fuel. It is more potent than ethanol as the blended fuel has a higher energy density.
Bio-Isobutanol production uses raw sugar, corn, and wheat as its feedstock commodity. After a good run in H1 2022, the price trend for Bio-Isobutanol took a slump in H2 2022 and kept oscillating towards the lower end of the scale.
As the supply chains improved and covid lockdowns eased in China, markets got bombarded with corn supplies causing the feedstock prices to take a staggering fall. As the prices for Bio-Isobutanol are feedstock dependent, they too started falling. Demand dynamics also impacted the prices deeply. Initially, good demand kept the market going, but during the later H2 demands too remained feeble, which caused further tribulations in Bio-Isobutanol prices.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, the Bio-Isobutanol market is going to continue a bearish run in the coming months, given the stable market dynamics and low upstream cost pressure.
Bio-Isobutanol Price Trend For the First Half of 2022
Bio-Isobutanol is an isomeric form of bio-butanol obtained via biomass such as raw sugars, sugarcane bagasse, corn, and wheat. With the surging crude oil and natural gas prices exposing the market volatility, manufacturers shifted their attention toward biobased chemicals; being biodegradable helps in reducing carbon footprint.
The increased demand from the market, along with the inflated costs of feedstocks, caused the price trend for Bio-Isobutanol to strengthen globally. In the USA, raw sugar prices averaged 797.18 USD/MT, while corn averaged 215.35 USD/MT. In Europe, corn and wheat futures rose by 30% and 27%, respectively. The feedstock wheat prices averaged 454.73 in China while 291.14 USD/MT in India.
