Global Glycerol Market: Increasing Demand for Glycerol in Propylene Glycol and Epichlorohydrin Production
Propylene glycol, derived from glycerol, is emerging as a substitute for ethylene glycol in antifreeze products. The demand for propylene glycol is increasing in many applications such as functional fluids, unsaturated polyester resins, food, pharmaceuticals, liquid detergents, personal care, and others. It is also used as a deicing and anti-freeze agent in paints. Similarly, epichlorohydrin, which is derived by treating glycerol and hydrogen chloride, is widely used as a precursor in the synthesis of many organic compounds such as glycidyl nitrate. It is also used to manufacture tea bags, coffee filters and in water purification applications. The growing demand for propylene glycol and epichlorohydrin is expected to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
“Growing demand for glycerol from the food and beverages sector along with increasing demand for biodiesel will further boost market growth during the forecast period,” says a senior analyst at Technavio.
