Cyclopentane is used in end-use applications such as insulating containers and sippers, residential refrigerators, and many others. In addition, strengthening economies in developing nations with high growth in food and beverage and construction sectors are expected to offer growth opportunities.
The demand for cyclopentane has increased as an eco-friendly blowing agent. It is used in polyurethane foam, which finds application in insulation of refrigerators, roofs, and insulated pipes, among others. Some other applications of this hydrocarbon include manufacturing of lubricants, synthetic resins, rubber adhesives, and others.
Cyclopentane is an efficient solvent for oils, non-polar substances, and fats. It also offers a unique structure with a low boiling point, increasing its application in manufacturing of polyurethane insulation boards. It is used in the construction sector for insulation of facades and roofs. It also finds application in cold storage and transportation of temperature-controlled and frozen products.
Chlorofluorocarbon and hydrochlorofluorocarbon are increasingly being replaced by cyclopentane in refrigeration and thermal insulation applications. It is free from halogen with reduced potential for ozone depletion.
Thus, a rise in demand for cyclopentane has been observed on account of an increase in environmental awareness and stringent regulations. Market players are investing in research and development to launch new products to address rising concerns related to human health and environmental sustainability.
The outbreak of COVID-19 negatively influenced the growth of the market. Significant disruptions in the global materials and chemical sectors resulting from disturbed supply chain and distribution networks, closed markets, and limited manufacturing activities hampered the market. Reduced demand from construction and commercial industries was observed during the pandemic. Raw material unavailability, operational challenges, and restrictions on the transportation of goods affected the market. Implementation of lockdown restrictions further led to the unavailability of workforce and transportation delays.
