n-Pentane Market Size, Share, Industry Forecast 2026

Pentane is an organic compound with 5 carbon atoms. There are three structural isomers
of pentane of which n-pentane is a long chained isomer. Pentane is inexpensive, non-polar,
and miscible in almost all non-polar solvents. Pentane is generally employed in fuels,
industrial applications like solvents, manufacturing of polystyrene foam, working medium
and other. Moreover, n-pentane has laboratory applications and is used as solvent. It is
also used in liquid chromatography.
Increasing demand from industrial sector for n-pentane due to the high volatility,
miscibility with non-polar compounds like chlorocarbons, olefins, ethers shall drive the
market. Additionally, the lower cost of n-pentane compared to other industrial solvents
shall boost the market demand. Pentane is also an important component of fuels.
Increasing demand for fuels from all over the world shall foster the market growth.
However, n-pentane is a non-polar solvent which is dissolved only in non-polar and alkyl
rich compounds. They lack in functionality and this is expected to hinder the market
growth.
