2. C4 fraction Production and Price Overview Historical Growth Rates and Past Performance C4 fraction production has witnessed consistent expansion, especially from 2018 to 2023. Global production increased as refiners optimized output to meet higher demand from the synthetic rubber and plastic sectors. In 2025, C4 fraction production is projected to continue this upward trend, driven by new capacity in Asia and the Middle East. C4 fraction production is increasingly influenced by integration with petrochemical complexes, improving supply chain efficiency. C4 fraction production in 2025 will likely exceed previous records. However, production levels vary by region depending on feedstock economics. The C4 fraction price in 2025 is estimated to remain near $820/MT. The C4 fraction price may vary due to seasonal demand changes. A rise in raw material costs can elevate the C4 fraction price. Lower inventory levels can also put pressure on the C4 fraction price. 02 Request a sample at - https://datavagyanik.com/reports/global-c4-fraction-market-size-production-sales-average-product-price-market-share/

3. Key Factors Impacting C4 fraction Prices in 2025 C4 fraction prices in 2025 are responding to a mix of supply pressures and demand recovery. One major factor is the tight global supply caused by scheduled maintenance at several crackers, reducing C4 fraction production. At the same time, robust demand from tire manufacturers is pulling more volumes into the synthetic rubber segment, raising the C4 fraction price. Weather-related disruptions in key markets have created transport and export issues, which are indirectly lifting the C4 fraction price. Moreover, the rising cost of utilities and labor in refining has pushed operational expenses higher, which filters into the final C4 fraction price. On the demand side, restocking efforts in downstream industries have added short-term demand spikes, further increasing the C4 fraction price. Some regions are also seeing speculative buying activity, with buyers locking in volumes early to hedge against further increases in the C4 fraction price. Overall, the C4 fraction price remains closely linked to production outages, downstream recovery, and global logistics constraints. 03

4. MARKET SEGMENTATION Segmentation by Geography The market for C4 fractions can be categorized in several ways. Product-wise, the primary segments include butadiene, isobutylene, 1-butene, and cis/trans-2-butene. These components are separated through steam cracking processes and serve different industries. Butadiene, for example, is used in making ABS plastics, latex, and tires. Isobutylene is often converted into high- performance fuels and lubricants. Butenes are key building blocks in the production of polyethylene and other polymers. By application, the automotive sector is the dominant user, especially for butadiene in tire and rubber production. Chemical manufacturing comes next, where C4 fractions are feedstocks for resins and specialty chemicals. There’s also growing interest from medical plastics and packaging industries that rely on certain C4-based derivatives. Geographic segmentation shows that Asia-Pacific holds the lion’s share of both production and demand, led by China and South Korea. North America remains a major exporter of butadiene and isobutylene, thanks to access to low-cost feedstock. Europe, while more regulated, continues to play a role in downstream specialty applications. Each segment reacts differently to shifts in supply and price. Automotive demand is cyclical and linked to global car production, while packaging is more resilient. With rising emphasis on low-carbon processes, some producers are also repositioning their C4 fraction output to focus on greener or more value-added derivatives. This segmentation provides insights into long-term demand strength and pricing behavior. 04

6. Economic Indicators & External Factors In 2025, the global economy is showing mixed signs, which is reflected in the C4 fraction market. Growth in industrial output is supporting consistent demand, especially in Asia and the US. At the same time, high inflation and interest rate policies in some regions are dampening downstream purchasing power. Crude oil fluctuations are another wildcard, directly impacting C4 fraction production costs. Exchange rates are adding uncertainty for importers and exporters of C4 fractions. Environmental policies, especially related to emissions and sustainability targets, are beginning to influence how companies plan their C4 fraction strategies, possibly reshaping long-term price and supply dynamics. 06
