According to a research report, the Global Monoethylene Glycol Market was valued at USD 27.2 Billion in the year 2022. The organic molecule mono ethylene glycol, commonly known as MEG, EG, 1, 2-ethanediol, or 1, 2-dihydroxyethane, has the chemical formula C2H6O2.
Currently, MEG is mainly produced from fossil fuels, using ethylene as the starting material, but now the market for bio-based MEG is growing strongly. This is largely driven by consumer desire for naturally derived products, the need to reduce carbon footprints and the increasing price volatility of petrochemical raw materials. The market for bio-based chemicals as a whole is growing at around 10% per annum and there is no doubt that the future of the MEG market will belong to bio-based MEG.
MEG is a clear, colourless liquid that has a slight viscosity, a sweet flavour, and almost no odour. It is largely utilized in the industry for the synthesis of polyester fibres and as a component in the creation of antifreeze, coolants, and de-icers since it is miscible with water, alcohol, and many other organic compounds.
On the basis of Application, Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the fastest-growing MEG Application and is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.8% in the forecast period. On the basis of End Users, Textiles is one of the very significant end users of the MEG market in 2022. Due to their incredibly high demand for polyester fibre and polyethylene terephthalate, China and India are APAC's top monoethylene glycol consumers.
