We have used a combination of both primary and secondary research for deriving our market numbers for
each segment of the research report. We have first derived our market numbers by the means of secondary
research for each segment covered in the report and further validated our analysis with C-level executives of
major companies operating in the butanediol, butadiene and MEK market. This research is specially
designed to estimate and analyze the demand and performance of the 1,4 butanediol, 2,3 butanediol and its
downstream applications in a global scenario . The research provides in-depth analysis of butanediol, 1,3
butadiene and MEK manufacturers, sales, trend analysis by segments and demand by geography. The report
covers all the major segments of the global synthetic 1,4 butanediol, 2,3 butanediol market and provides
in-depth analysis, historical data and statistically refined forecast for the segments covered. It also describes
the major potential and emerging applications for both bio-based 1,4 butanediol and 2,3 butanediol. The study
presents a comprehensive assessment of the stakeholder strategies winning imperatives for them by
segmenting the 1,4 butanediol, 1,3 butadiene and MEK market as below:
