In 2024, global 2-Butanethiol production reached approximately 51 kilotons with an average global market price of around US$ 2400 per ton. 2-Butanethiol is an organosulfur compound with the chemical formula C₄H₁₀S, belonging to the class of aliphatic thiols. It is a colorless to yellow liquid with an extremely strong, unpleasant odor often described as skunk-like or resembling rotten cabbage. This compound occurs naturally in some foods, fermentation processes, and is also found in the scent glands of skunks. Industrially, it is used in very small concentrations as a warning odorant in fuel gases like propane, helping to detect leaks due to its intense smell. Like other low-molecular-weight thiols, it is highly volatile and toxic in high concentrations, requiring careful handling.
The market for 2-Butanethiol is primarily driven by its role as a highly effective gas odorant in natural gas, propane, and LPG systems, where its strong odor ensures safety through leak detection, supported by strict regulatory requirements. Additional demand comes from its use as a chemical intermediate in the production of agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and polymers, with growth concentrated in major chemical manufacturing regions such as Asia-Pacific. Niche applications also exist in food and flavor chemistry, olfactory research, and industrial sensor calibration, while overall market growth is shaped by expanding urban gas infrastructure, rising safety standards, and ongoing energy reliance on natural gas, although future demand may be tempered by the development of alternative odorants.
This report is a detailed and comprehensive analysis for global 2-Butanethiol market. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses are presented by manufacturers, by region & country, by Type and by Application. As the market is constantly changing, this report explores the competition, supply and demand trends, as well as key factors that contribute to its changing demands across many markets.
