Global Ethylene Glycol Market, By Application (Polyester Fiber and Films, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Antifreeze and Coolant, Others), Type (Monoethylene Glycol, Di-Ethylene Glycol, Tri-Ethylene Glycol) – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029
Ethylene Glycol Market Analysis and Size
Ethylene glycol is an organic compound that is used in the production of polyester fibre as a raw material. It serves as a coolant in automobile engines. It also serves as a heat transfer agent. Furthermore, mixing ethylene glycol with water has the added benefit of preventing corrosion, acid degradation, and the growth of certain bacteria. MEG is a key raw material in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PET made from MEG is used to make bottles of drinking water, carbonated drinks, and food packaging.
Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the ethylene glycol market was valued at USD 29.12 billion in 2021 and is to reach an estimated value of 34.21 billion by the end of the forecast period and to grow at a CAGR of 4.14% during the forecast period and Data Bridge Market Research report on ethylene glycol market provides analysis and insights regarding the various factors expected to be prevalent throughout the forecasted period while providing their impacts on the market’s growth.
Market Definition
The organic compound ethylene glycol has the formula (CH2OH)2. It is a toxic, colourless, odourless, low-volatility, viscous, and hygroscopic liquid. It is completely miscible with water and a wide range of organic liquids. Hydroxyl groups on glycols are subjected to the standard alcohol chemistry, yielding a wide range of possible derivatives.

Post COVID-19 Impact on Ethylene Glycol Market
Many products saw a significant drop in demand as a result of the global lockdown and supply chain disruptions. Because of the outbreak of COVID-19, the textile industries have halted production. Fabric production is currently halted because people are not permitted to go shopping. Despite the fact that many industries are in crisis, the pharmaceutical industry is still operating in the market. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand for personal protective equipment like face masks and disinfectants. Because ethylene glycol has antibacterial properties, it is an excellent disinfectant during this crisis. In hospitals, ethylene glycol is used to sterilise surgical instruments. As a result of this pandemic, the global ethylene glycol market is experiencing significant growth.
