Propylene Glycol - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts 2019 - 2029
Market Report I 2024-02-17 I 120 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The Propylene Glycol Market size is estimated at USD 4.09 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 5.75 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of greater than 7% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The COVID-19 pandemic had negatively impacted the market due to nationwide lockdowns, strict social distancing measures, and disruption in supply chains, which negatively affected the transportation, building, and construction end-user industries, thereby affecting the market for proropylene glycol. However, the market recovered well after the restrictions were lifted. The market recovered significantly, owing to the rise in consumption of propylene glycol transportation and pharmaceuticals end-user industries.
Key Highlights
-The increasing demand from the food-processing and additives industry, the growing demand from the automotive industry, and the rising demand for solvents from various end-user industries are expected to drive the market for propylene glycol.
-The health issues created by the high consumption of propylene glycol are expected to hinder the market's growth.
-The development of industrial-scale direct synthesis methods for propylene glycol production is expected to create opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
-The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market due to rising demand for propylene glycol in transportation, building and construction, and pharmaceutical end-user industries.
Propylene Glycol Market Trends
Transportation End-User Industry to Dominate the Market
- Propylene glycol is widely used in the transportation sector. It is a viscous, colorless, odorless liquid. It is highly hygroscopic and soluble in alcohols, esters, water, amines, and ketones. It has limited miscibility with halogenated hydrocarbons and is not miscible with aliphatic hydrocarbons. It has a wide variety of applications in the transportation industry.
- Propylene glycol is used to produce fire-resistant brake and hydraulic fluids, coolants used in the transportation industry for applications like engine cooling, and more, as an initial for raw materials of paints, as a raw material for de-icing of planes, and as a heat transfer fluid for high-temperature applications. Propylene glycol is also used to prepare unsaturated polyester resins, with various roles in the transportation sector.
- The increase in the global production of automotive vehicles is expected to drive the market for propylene glycol. According to the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles" (OICA), global automotive vehicle production reached 85.02 million in 2022, compared to 80.2 million manufactured in 2021, at a growth rate of 6%. China, the United States, and India are the most prominent automotive vehicle markets globally.
- The United States is the second-largest automotive market in the world after China, which occupies a significant share of the global automotive vehicles market. According to OICA, in 2022, the United States automotive vehicle production reached 10.06 million compared to 9.15 million units manufactured in 2021, at a growth rate of 9%. This enhanced the growth of the automobile industry, which has stimulated the market demand for propylene glycol.
- According to the Boeing Commercial Outlook 2023-2042, the demand for new commercial jets by 2042 is expected to reach 42,595 units, valued at USD 8 trillion. The global fleet will nearly double to 48,600 jets by 2042, expanding by 3.5% annually. Airlines will replace about half of the global fleet with new, more fuel-efficient models.
- Moreover, North America is the hub for aeroplane production in the world. The United States is the largest market for airplanes in the region. Airbus and Boeing are the largest manufacturers of airplanes in the country. For instance, in 2022, Airbus delivered 661 commercial aircraft, registering 1,078 gross new orders by the end of the year. Similarly, Boeing Aeroplane OEM company received orders for 57 of the 737 Max 8 jets, with delivery expected through 2025.
- Hence, owing to the factors mentioned above, the transportation end-user industry is anticipated to drive the market for propylene glycol during the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market
- Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market for propylene glycol with the increasing demand from automotive, construction, food, and beverage end-user industries. China, India, and Japan are the largest markets for propylene glycol in the region.
- Propylene glycol is used to prepare unsaturated polymer resins, which are used to make construction products like duct pipes and floor sheets, among others. In the paint industry, propylene glycol is used as a solvent in paints.
- China is the largest construction market in the world, encompassing 20% of all construction investments globally. China is expected to spend nearly USD 13 trillion on buildings and construction by 2030. This is anticipated to create a positive outlook for propylene glycol in the country.
- The Indian government has been actively boosting housing construction to provide houses to about 1.3 billion people. The country is likely to witness around USD 1.3 trillion of investment in housing over the next seven years, to witness the construction of 60 million new houses in the country. The availability of affordable housing in the country is expected to increase by around 70% by 2024.
- Furthermore, propylene glycol is also used in various edible items such as coffee-based drinks, liquid sweeteners, ice cream, whipped dairy products, and sodas. The increase in demand for food and beverage products is expected to create a market for propylene glycol in the region.
- China is the largest market for food and beverage in the region. According to the China National Light Industry Council, major food manufacturing companies with an annual turnover of over USD 2.8 million reported revenues of over USD 1.53 trillion in 2022. Compared to 2021, the total revenue registered a year-on-year growth of 5.6%, indicating strong growth in the food industry.
- Owing to the above-mentioned factors, the market for propylene glycol in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
