Alkylate Isooctane Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type ( Alkylate, Isooctane ), By Application ( Aviation, Automobile, Others ) and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032

Alkylate is a type of high octane gasoline component made by reacting light olefins like butylene from distinctive refinery source like steam cracking units, fluid catalytic cracking unit with isoparaffins like isobutene where the reaction is acid catalyzed reaction. The process used is termed as alkylation where excess gases from distillation unit and crude oil cracking plant is combined to make liquid alkylate. Isooctane is an important component of gasoline which is used in large proportions to increase the knock resistance of the fuel.

Increasing demand from aviation industry is expected to drive the market. Alkylate is one of the cleanest petroleum product which makes it environment friendly further complying the rules imposed about clean burning. Additionally, the increasing demand for fuel all across the world is boosting the market growth.

 However, there are various anti-knocking agents in the market which are comparatively cheaper and have high performance like ferrocene, methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT), Iron pentacarbonyl and other. This is expected to hinder the market growth.
