The global market for Glycerin is estimated at US$2.8 Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$4.4 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2023 to 2030. This comprehensive report provides an in-depth analysis of market trends, drivers, and forecasts, helping you make informed business decisions.

The growth in the glycerin market is driven by several factors, including the increased demand for bio-based chemicals and sustainable solutions across industries, innovations in downstream applications, and stringent environmental regulations promoting biodegradability. Pharmaceutical & medical along with food & beverages represent high-value applications of glycerin. The de-icing and antifreeze applications as an alternative to ethylene glycols and propylene are anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities over the coming years. In addition, increasing demand for natural personal care products is bound to further boost glycerin demand. The booming personal care industry, especially in emerging markets, is another significant driver, as consumers seek products with natural ingredients that offer hydration and skin benefits. The expansion of the food and beverage sector globally also contributes to the demand for glycerin as a food additive. Furthermore, the shift towards producing biodiesel as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels has resulted in increased glycerin production as a valuable byproduct, thereby boosting its supply and applications in diverse sectors.
