The global Propylene Glycol market reached a value of about 2.83 MMT in 2021. The industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 4.4% in the forecast period of 2022-2027 to reach a value of about 3.65 MMT by 2027.
The global Propylene Glycol industry report gives a comprehensive analysis of the industry, including key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, the competitive landscape, and other essential market aspects. The market is driven by the growing use of substances in the food sector, and it is used as a solvent, humectant, and preservative. The rising automotive industry in the Asia Pacific region is paired with bio-based propylene glycol's environmentally favourable production process. In the industry report, the key demand indicator is the highest category spender by region—Asia Pacific.
Propylene glycol is a thick, colourless water-absorbing synthetic liquid material with a mildly pleasant, practically odourless flavour. It is categorised as a diol as it holds two alcohol groups. It's an organic solvent with a clear hue that's corrosive to most metals. It is miscible with acetone, water, and chloroform along with the other solvents. It is also a basis for deicing solutions and creating polyester compounds. When there is a risk of food contact, propylene glycol is utilised as an antifreeze in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical sectors. The Propylene Glycol industry report comprises segments by application (Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR), Functional Fluids, Food, Drug & Cosmetics, Liquid Detergent, Paints & Coatings), and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, and South America).
The Asia Pacific holds the most significant market share in volume and value in the worldwide propylene glycol market. The region's growing population and rising construction investment in developing countries like China, India, and South Korea are expected to drive the industry. The increased disposable income of the region's customers is furthering the market growth.
The industry is being propelled by the rising building and construction sector and increased expenditures in emerging nations for infrastructure development. The product's market is also being driven by a growth in the usage of propylene glycols in applications such as aviation de-icing fluid, automotive coolants, and hydraulic and brake fluids. Furthermore, the growing demand for processed foods and the environmentally friendly production technique of the substance is expected to drive the propylene glycol market forward. It's also widely utilised in numerous sectors as a de-icing and anti-freezing chemical. The Asia Pacific region's flourishing car, construction, and pharmaceutical industries and increased disposable income of the region's customers further industry expansion.
However, the health issues related to the substance act as a market restraint.
The global Propylene Glycol industry report by Procurement Resource gives an in-depth analysis of the best buying practices followed by major global Propylene Glycol regions, such as engagement models, contract terms, and buyer and supplier negotiation levers.
Propylene glycol is made primarily from propylene oxide in the industrial world (for food-grade use). Manufacturers utilise either a non-catalytic high-temperature procedure at 200 °C (392 °F) to 220 °C (428 °F) or a catalytic approach at 150 °C (302 °F) to 180 °C (356 °F) using ion-exchange resin or a tiny quantity of sulfuric acid or alkali. It accounts for 20% of the final product, with dipropylene glycol accounting for 1.5 percent and other polypropylene glycols accounting for tiny percentages. Purification results in a final industrial grade or USP/JP/EP/BP propylene glycol with 99.5 percent or higher purity. Glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel synthesis, may also be used to make propylene glycol. In other processes, fermentation is used to produce S-propanediol. Lactic acid and lactaldehyde are frequent intermediates in lactic acid and lactaldehyde production. One of the two fructose 1,6-bisphosphate breakdown (glycolysis) products is dihydroxyacetone phosphate, a precursor to methylglyoxal. This reaction is based on a possible biotechnological approach to the commercial chemical 1,2-propanediol. Deoxysugars with three carbons are also precursors of 1,2-diol.
Rising domestic income, population growth in developing nations, and increasing demand for bio-based propylene glycol in pharmaceutical (USP/EP) grade applications propel the market forward. The need for unsaturated polyester resins, which are utilised as reinforced plastic or fibreglass composite in the transportation, construction, car, and marine sectors, drives the propylene glycol market. The substance is a common ingredient in household cleaning products. Hence, the product's market expansion is fueled by demand from the liquid detergent, coatings, and paints industries. There is a significant increase in demand for it as an anti-freezing agent during the winter, and the airline sector is the primary source of this demand. Pharmaceutical and consumer packaged goods firms are significantly increasing their demand for glycerine-based or bio-based propylene glycol, which is less toxic and has fewer adverse effects. As a result, it is expected to expand significantly quicker than average propylene glycol. In the projected period, demand for Propylene Glycol will be driven by rising demand for Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR) to produce surface coatings and fibreglass reinforced plastics (FRP) in the chemical tank and construction industries due to their superior corrosion resistance.
The regional markets for the industry can be divided into Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, South America, and the Middle East and Africa.
Several market contributors in the region are increasing capacity enhancement methods, developing market growth prospective. To solidify their position in the sector, these businesses focus on strategic activities such as mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, and product development.
