TRIMETHYLOL PROPANE (TMP) MARKET OVERVIEW

The global trimethylol propane (tmp) market is anticipated to witness consistent growth, starting from USD 0.66 billion in 2025, reaching USD 0.69 billion in 2026, and climbing to USD 0.96 billion by 2035, at a steady CAGR of 3.5%.

Trimethylol propane (TMP) is a chemical substance used in the manufacture of plastic polymers. Because of its weather conditions, heat, and gaseous resistance to plastics, trimethylolpropane is favoured by a variety of end-use industries. Trimethylol propane is largely used as a precursor to alkaline resins and as a multifunctional monomer in the composition of various coatings. Furthermore, propoxylated and trimethylolpropane ethoxylated, derived from the condensation of trimethylol propane and the epoxides, is used in the formulation of flexible polyurethanes.

The market continues to grow due to fast increase in industries that include energy, coating, chemical, and textile. Additionally, rising research and developmental activities and additional variables are contributing to the market's expansion.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Interruption in Services to Deplete Market Growth
