Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether (MTBE) is a chemical compound used as a petrol additive. Isobutylene and methanol react chemically to produce it. MTBE is added to petrol to improve engine performance and reduce emissions of harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.The global MTBE market is driven by petrol demand and the need for fuel additives to comply with environmental regulations. The Asia-Pacific region consumes the most MTBE, with China and India being the two largest markets. Demand for MTBE is expected to fall in North America and Europe as alternative fuels become more popular and environmental regulations become more stringent.
Sinopec, LyondellBasell, Reliance Industries, ENOC, and Petronas are among the major players in the MTBE market. These companies are investing in R&D to improve the manufacturing process and reduce costs. They are also increasing production capacity to meet rising MTBE demand in emerging markets.
