Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Northeast Asia: In Northeast Asia, tetrahydrofuran prices edged down slightly due to moderate downstream demand from spandex and solvent applications. The tetrahydrofuran price index reflected stable feedstock availability of butanediol and limited fluctuations in upstream costs. However, cautious procurement by polyurethane producers and subdued export orders constrained buying momentum. While domestic production rates remained steady, high inventories from prior quarters exerted mild downward pressure on regional price trends this quarter.
Europe: In Europe, tetrahydrofuran prices experienced a decline as weak industrial activity and energy-related cost constraints curbed market confidence. The tetrahydrofuran price index moved lower amid reduced demand from the coatings and adhesive sectors. Declining butanediol costs further contributed to bearish sentiment, while imports from Asian producers intensified competitive pricing. With limited improvement in end-user consumption and stable plant operations, the regional market witnessed sustained softness in pricing throughout this quarter.
North America: North American tetrahydrofuran prices registered a fall, driven by reduced consumption in coatings, automotive, and spandex industries. The tetrahydrofuran price index declined as abundant feedstock supply and lower energy costs weighed on production margins. Distributors adopted inventory reduction strategies amid weak downstream demand, amplifying the overall price drop. Additionally, slower export movement to Latin America and Europe further suppressed market activity and contributed to a noticeable softening of regional prices.

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) Industry Analysis
The global tetrahydrofuran industry size reached 1.09 Million Tons in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 1.50 Million Tons, at a projected CAGR of 3.23% during 2025-2033. The market growth is driven by rising demand for tetrahydrofuran as a precursor for polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) in spandex production, along with expanding applications in coatings, adhesives, and solvent formulations. Increased consumption across the automotive and electronics sectors continues to support long-term market expansion.
Latest developments in the Tetrahydrofuran (THF) Industry:
- July 2025: Qatar Vinyl Co (QVC) announced the launch of its first PVC production plant in Mesaieed, with an annual capacity of 350,000 tons. The new facility is integrated with QVC’s existing vinyl chain operations and is expected to boost regional demand for THF-based additives used in PVC processing and formulation applications.
- September 2024: Jiangsu Huafon CovationBio announced a phased project to produce 500,000 tons of bio-based PTMEG, 20,000 tons of THF, and related by-products using corncob-derived furfural feedstock.
- October 2023: BASF supplied biomass-balanced THF to Asahi Kasei to support sustainable stretch fiber manufacturing, enabling approximately 50 % reduction in CO₂ emissions. Tetrahydrofuran in this arrangement plays a central role for PolyTHF® production and is used as a solvent in multiple organic syntheses.
Product Description
Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a colorless, water-miscible, and highly volatile cyclic ether with the chemical formula C₄H₈O. It serves as both a solvent and an intermediate in numerous industrial processes. THF is primarily produced through the catalytic dehydration of 1,4-butanediol or via the Reppe process using acetylene and formaldehyde. Known for its excellent solvency and low viscosity, THF is widely used as a reaction medium in polymerization and as a solvent for PVC, adhesives, coatings, and resins. Its most significant use lies in the production of polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG), a key component in spandex fibers and elastomeric materials. Owing to its strong solvating ability and versatility, THF plays a crucial role in pharmaceuticals, chemical synthesis, and specialty polymer manufacturing.
