Economic importance of alcohols

The use of alcohols, especially butanol, ethanol and 2-propanol, in the processing and manufacturing industries is crucial and has a significant impact on various sectors of the economy. These alcohols are widely used and have significant levels of consumption.An outstanding example of the use of ethanol is in the production of disinfectants and cleaning agents. Every year, around 378.5 million liters of ethanol are used for this purpose in the manufacturing industry. This disinfectant plays a crucial role in the healthcare industry, especially in times of health crises when the demand for hygiene products increases sharply.Butanol is used in the production of varnishes and paints. Around 450 million liters of butanol are consumed annually in the manufacturing industry. It serves as a solvent for varnishes and paints and contributes to the quality and durability of these products.2-Propanol, also known as isopropanol, is a widely used solvent and disinfectant. Around 300 million liters of 2-propanol are consumed annually in the manufacturing industry. It is a key ingredient in disinfectants for medical facilities, laboratories and everyday use.International trade in ethanol, butanol and 2-propanol plays a crucial role in the global economy. Last year, a total of 3.2 billion liters of these alcohols were exported to various countries, highlighting their importance in global trade. These export figures show the competitiveness of alcohols on the international market.In summary, alcohols contribute significantly to economic activity in many industries. Their diverse applications and continued consumption make them an essential part of the modern economy, particularly in healthcare, paint and varnish production, the cleaning industry and more.
