World Butylenes Analysis
IHS Chemical World Butylenes Analysis (formerly CMAI’s World Butylenes Analysis) is an annual study that covers historical trends and forecasts for major global butylene market fundamentals over an 11-year period (five-year history, base year, five-year forecast). Clients receive detailed data on butylene and over 16 derivative products in 10 geographic regions with five-year market forecasts.

World butylenes markets have undergone significant changes during the last five years. The combination of demand side shifts and significant supply side changes, as refined products and ethylene markets evolve, has provided for dynamic market activity. MTBE, an important component of motor gasoline, fell out of the US gasoline pool in 2006, but its consumption has risen in other parts of the world. Other butylene-based ethers, most notably ETBE, comprise part of the renewable fuels solution and have caused a major shift in the disposition and pricing of butylene streams throughout the world.
In the face of this short-term uncertainty, IHS Chemical World Butylenes Analysis examines supply, demand, production, capacity, trade, pricing and profitability for global butylenes industries over an 11-year period (five-year history, base year, five-year forecast). Clients gain a detailed understanding of the sources of butylenes (steam crackers, FCC units and dehydrogenation units) as well as their consumption (MTBE, Butene-1, MEK, high purity isobutylene, polyisobutylene and others).
Clients may order IHS Chemical World Butylenes Analysis in book and CD-ROM format. Included is 12-month’s access to IHS Chemical’s online capacity and supply/demand databases, with updates to the capacity database as they occur and biannual updates to the supply/demand database.
