The global ethylene glycol market size reached approximately USD 48.21 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of around USD 72.82 billion by 2032.
Ethylene glycol, chemically represented as (CH2OH)2, is an odourless, colourless, and flammable organic compound with a sweet taste. This compound is synthesised through a process involving the oxidation of ethylene with oxygen, leading to the formation of ethylene oxide. Following this, ethylene oxide undergoes hydration to yield ethylene glycol.
Based on type, the market can be segmented into monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG), and triethylene glycol (TEG). The global ethylene glycol market segmentation, based on manufacturing process, includes ethylene oxide, coal, and biological routes, among others. Based on application, the market is categorised into polyester fibre, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), antifreeze, and film, among others.
The market, based on the end use, can be divided into plastic, transportation, textile, and oil and gas, among others. The major regional markets for ethylene glycol are North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.
The comprehensive EMR report provides an in-depth assessment of the market based on Porter's five forces model along with giving a SWOT analysis. The report gives a detailed analysis of the following key players in the global ethylene glycol market, covering their competitive landscape and the latest developments like mergers, acquisitions, investments, and expansion plans.
According to the global ethylene glycol market analysis, monoethylene glycol (MEG) is likely to show substantial growth during the forecast period owing to its extensive usage in a wide range of industries. It plays a pivotal role in the textile and packaging sectors and serves as a vital component in the production of polyester fibres and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins.
Moreover, its application as an antifreeze and coolant in automotive applications further strengthens its demand. MEG's adaptability, dependability, and broad industrial uses all contribute to its prominent position in propelling the overall growth of the market.
The rapid expansion of end-use sectors such as textile, transportation, and plastics, among others, in the Asia Pacific is expected to significantly influence the global ethylene glycol market share in the coming years. Moreover, the increase in disposable income and improvements in living standards across numerous countries in the Asia Pacific region are driving the utilisation of plastics and resins. Consequently, this surge in demand is leading to a greater need for ethylene glycols.
