The global ethylene glycol market is a pivotal segment within the chemical industry, contributing significantly to various sectors. Ethylene glycol, a key chemical compound, finds extensive use as a raw material in producing polyester fibers, antifreeze solutions, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins. Its versatile properties, including solubility, stability, and hygroscopic nature, make it indispensable in diverse applications. The demand for ethylene glycol is closely tied to the growth of end-user industries such as automotive, textile, and packaging.
Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the Global Ethylene Glycol Market, valued at USD 29.12 billion in 2021, will reach USD 34.21 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.14% from 2022 to 2029.
"Rising popularity for bio-based ethylene glycol drive the market growth"
The growing popularity of bio-based ethylene glycol is anticipated to propel the ethylene glycol market from 2022 to 2029. This trend is fueled by increasing environmental awareness and a shift towards sustainable practices. Bio-based ethylene glycol is derived from renewable resources, offering a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional, petroleum-based counterparts. As industries emphasize sustainability, the demand for bio-based ethylene glycol is expected to rise, contributing to the overall growth of the ethylene glycol market during the forecast period.
