Global Glycol Market By Product (Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol), By Application (Automotive, HVAC, Textiles, Airlines, Medical, and Other Applications), By Region and Companies - Industry Segment Outlook, Market Assessment, Competition Scenario, Trends and Forecast 2022-2032

Glycol Market Overview:

The global glycol market value is expected at USD 36,461.6 million by 2021. It is expected to register a CAGR of 6.9% for the forecast period.

There are many uses for glycol derivatives in the following sectors: transportation & automotive; heating; food and beverage processing; ventilation, & air conditioning; and polyester fibers. Due to recovering manufacturing activities, the market has seen a recent rebound in its economic outlook. This has had a positive influence on its growth.

Global Glycol Market Scope:

Product Type Analysis

According to the product, the market segments were propylene (1.2-propanediol) and ethylene (1.2-ethanediol). These products are used in a wide range of industries. The production of polyester compounds is dominated by propanediol.

Propylene glycol, which is low in toxicity, has been accepted by antifreeze agents. 1,2-propanediol is used in the antifreeze business. It is also used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. It can also be used as a replacement for ethylene glycol. It can also be used to replace ethylene glycol in a 40-60:1 ratio with water.

Ethylene glycol is used extensively as an antifreeze. It also serves as a coolant and heat-transferring agent. It can lower fluid’s freezing point, but it also acts as a reagent in producing polyesters and alkyd resins. Ethylene-based glycols can also be used as an additive in printing inks.

Application analysis

The market targets key industries like polyester, fibers, automotive & resins. Food and beverage processing, Pharmaceuticals, pipeline maintenance, Textiles, Medical. The global post-recession economy saw structural changes in trade policies and business localization, sustainability, and fiscal mechanism.

The global GDP increased, as industrial activities improved in developed countries, while they also grew significantly in the developing world. Glycol manufacturers are optimistic about the future because of this development in the global economy.

Automotive will continue to grow at the fastest rate during the prediction period. Worldwide automotive production increased, and some European countries such as the Netherlands, Finland, and Portugal saw double-digit increases. Europe still holds a dominant position in glycol requests. As such, optimistic macro indicators should be used as a source to optimize the industry’s growth estimate.

Market Dynamics:

Glycols have come up for scrutiny in the wake of increased regulatory oversight. FDA & U.S. EPA have taken a close look at their adverse effects on human safety. FDA has prescribed safe daily intake levels of propylene glycol, despite it being generally recognized to be safe (GRAS).

EPA has conducted similar studies regarding the toxicology profiles of glycols as well as recommended methods for handling these chemicals. Regulations play an important role in the industry’s development. They influence compliance protocols, inventory protocols, manufacturing standards, and other aspects of the industry. Also, such intervention at the state level leads to a greater emphasis being placed on development expenditures for companies. Companies are generally dominated primarily by changing customer preferences.

The chemical industry is seeing companies making an effort to improve supply chain efficiency and reduce cost uncertainties. The world has opened up to virtual markets, and the chemical sector is following suit.

Numerous online platforms allow end-users to purchase chemicals (including Glycols) through such portals. A virtual marketplace is convenient for customers. A virtual marketplace allows vendors to reduce costs associated with their physical infrastructure. This trend has had a positive impact on the market by increasing profit margins for companies, as well as broadening their customer base.
Regional Analysis

Europe and North America have always been the leaders in manufacturing technologies, and innovative approaches to building an industry ecosystem. But, the market has witnessed a major shift towards Asian markets. China has established itself as a regional but also a global manufacturing hub.
