This market research report presents a comprehensive analysis of the global polyalkylene glycol market by product (polypropylene glycol and polyethylene glycol) and by application (PU foams, lubricants, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and others). The report also provides a comprehensive analysis of the growth opportunities for companies in this market in regions such as the Americas, APAC, and EMEA.
Overview of the global polyalkylene glycol market
PU foams are extensively used in the automotive industry as a prominent material in automotive seating. The production of PU foams requires the application of polyalkylene glycol as an important material due to its superior properties. The demand for PU foams is increasing as they are used for various purposes including instrumental panels, boat floors and tire-covers, and bed liners. It has been observed that PU foam solutions offer shorter production time, higher quality, and emits lesser volatile organic compounds (VOC). This will further boost the demand for PU foams and the consumption of polyalkylene glycol in its production process. Technavio’s market research report identifies that the increasing demand for PU foams will be one of the primary growth drivers for the global polyalkylene glycol market till 2022. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that the market will grow at a CAGR of more than 11% by 2022.
The rising demand for PU foams from various industries such as construction, automotive, and aerospace in various regions, especially countries like India and China will drive the adoption rate of polyalkylene glycol in the APAC region. The need for polyalkylene glycol-based lubricants is increasing in the region due to factors such as growth of the construction and automotive industries. This will drive the growth prospects for the polyalkylene glycol market in the region during the estimated period.
