Global Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Company Share, Foreign Trade, 2015-2030

The global Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) market has grown remarkably in the historic period of 2015-2022 with a demand of around 28 million tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period until 2030. Recently, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) started operating its new plant situated in Jubail. This plant has an annual capacity of 700 thousand tonnes.

Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is a versatile industrial chemical with high demand owing to its properties such as high durability, hydrophobic nature, and extreme tenacity. It is keenly used as a key ingredient or as a feedstock for manufacturing a variety of products such as Polyester Fibres, Polyester Films, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), antifreeze products, Coolants, solvents, etc. Additionally, it is employed in paper, printing inks, leather, fibres treatment and cellophane industries due to its humectant nature. Owing to all these applications, the major end use industries of MEG are Textile, Packaging, Cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals, Food and Beverage, Automobile, Chemicals, Adhesives & Sealants, and Others. Most of the MEG produced globally is utilized in the production of Polyester Fibers followed by Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Polyester films.

Regionally, the Asia Pacific region is dominating the Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) market followed by Europe. This region held a market share of approximately 45% in 2022. Because of the strong demand of MEG from developing countries like China and India along with flourishing textile and rubber industry, the Asia Pacific region will most likely continue to dominate the global market.

Based on the end-user industry, the global Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) market is segmented into Polyester Fibre and Yarn, PET Resin, Polyester Film, and Others. Among these, Polyester Fibre and Yarn industry is dominating the Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) market and held roughly 58% of the market in 2022. Due to its capacity to lower the freezing temperature of water, mono ethylene glycol is primarily used in the antifreeze industry as a component in the production of antifreeze, coolants, aircraft anti-icers, and deicers. Furthermore, mono ethylene glycol is used in the production of alkyd resins, which are utilised in paints, enamels, and varnishes to produce a film. To prevent the formation of clathrates, MEG is also employed here as a desiccant in petrol pipelines.

Major players in the production of Global Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) are SABIC, ExxonMobil Corporation, Mitsubishi Chemical, Formosa, Chemtex Speciality Limited, The Dow Chemicals, LyondellBasell Industries, Royal Dutch Shell, AkzoNobel, MEGlobal, Reliance Industries, Lotte Chemical Corporation, Nan Ya Plastics Corporation, China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation, India Glycols and Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co.
