The global furfural market size was estimated at USD 494.1 million in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2020 to 2028.
Furfural is an organic compound derived from plant materials such as corncobs, oat, wheat bran, rice husk, bagasse, and saw dust. It is usually produced from agricultural wastes rich in pentosans that are hydroysed to produce furfural and its byproducts. Furfural is a colorless oil that readily dissolves in various organic solvents and is slightly soluble in water. It exhibits chemically similar properties as that of other aldehydes and aromatic compounds.
