Global Propylene Glycol Market - Industry Trends and Forecast to 2030

Propylene Glycol Market Analysis and Size

Propylene glycol is a synthetic liquid material which is easily absorbs water. Propylene glycol is used to make polyester composites and used as a base for de-icing solutions. It is also used by the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries as an antifreeze when leakage might lead to contact with the food product. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified it as an additive generally recognized as safe” for use in the food industry. It is used to maintain moisture in certain cosmetics, medicines or food products and absorb extra water. Propylene glycol is also used to make artificial fog or smoke which is used in theatrical productions and fire-fighting training.

Propylene Glycol Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Propylene glycol is a viscous compound and it is colorless liquid with odorless but possesses a faintly sweet taste. Polypropylene glycol is a main constituent in the manufacture of polymers.  Propylene glycol are, 1,2-propanediol, methyl glycol, 1,2-dihydroxypropane and trimethyl glycol. Propylene glycol is, slightly syrupy liquid at room temperature. It may exist in air in the vapor form, although propylene glycol must be briskly shaken or heated to produce a vapor. Propylene glycol is practically tasteless and odorless.

Global Propylene Glycol Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Usage in Transportation Industry

Propylene glycol is used in hydraulic fluids and fire-resistant brake as a coolant in the transportation sector for engine cooling, as a raw material for de-icing planes, and as a heat transfer fluid for high-temperature applications.

Opportunity
