The gamma-butyrolactone market size is forecast to increase by USD 741.1 million at a CAGR of 5.9% between 2023 and 2028. The gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) market is experiencing significant growth due to the beneficial properties of this chemical compound, leading to its widespread adoption in various industries. GBL is known for its ability to act as a solvent, a stabilizer, and an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. Its use in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly for the treatment of certain neurological conditions, is a notable driver for the market. However, the market faces challenges, including reports of adverse health effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances, confusion, drowsiness, urinary incontinence, tremor, myoclonus, and even coma in some cases. These health concerns have led to regulatory restrictions and bans in certain regions. Despite these challenges, the growing demand for battery electric vehicles and their reliance on GBL as a solvent for lithium-ion batteries is expected to drive market growth.
