Butane is a hydrocarbon of the alkane family with four carbon atoms attached to it. Butanes may refer to either to either of two structural isomers, n-butane (normal butane) or isobutene or to a mixture of these two isomers. Butane is a colorless, flammable and easily liquefied gas. Butane is heavier than the air with a density of approximately 575 kg per cubic meters at 15 degree Celsius. The boiling point of butane is approximately -1 degree Celsius whereas, the flash point of butane is approximately -40 degree Celsius. 
Rising industrialization coupled with capacity expansions of refineries in emerging economies of China and India is expected to fuel the butane industry demand. Growing concern regarding the impact of conventional fuel on the environment is projected to boost the LPG application market. Increasing need for energy supply in automotive sectors is anticipated to drive the growth for butane industry. Wide range of applications of butane in petrochemicals, refrigerants, as a fuel for cigarette lighters, as propellants in aerosol sprays is expected to augment the market positively.
The purchase of LPG is increasing among various petrochemical manufacturers in APAC because LPG is used as an alternative feedstock to naphtha. Various countries in the APAC region prefer LPG in heaters or stoves as it contains butane or propane. The butane gas market will continue to grow in this region during the estimated period because it is used as an ingredient in the production of plastic products including drinking bottles and carrier bags.
