The increasing usage of various derivatives of furfural in different industries and shift toward green chemicals are propelling the market.

Corncob is the largest raw material segment of the furfural market.

Corncob is extensively used as the raw material for furfural. This is mainly due to the high presence of xylose and pentosan, which are converted into furfural during the synthesis.

The derivatives application is expected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period.

The derivatives application is estimated to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period due to the high demand from various end-use industries. Furfuryl Alcohol (FA) is the major derivative, which consumes almost 80-85% of the furfural produced around the world.
