The global ethylene carbonate market will rise from USD 0.8 billion in 2024 to USD 1.5 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 14.4% from 2024 to 2029. The growth in the industrial sector drives the ethylene carbonate industry. Industrial machinery requires lubricants for smooth functioning and reduced wear & tear. Also, many machines utilize surface coatings to reduce the risk of rusting and chemical attack. These manufacturers of lubricants and surface coatings increasingly use ethylene carbonate as a highly polar solvent. Moreover, increased demand for electric vehicles has pushed for battery electrolyte requirements, translating into growth for the ethylene carbonate market. However, factors such as the scarcity of raw materials and regulations on the use of ethylene carbonates are likely to hinder the market's growth.

"The rapid growth of the liquid form is primarily attributed to its excellent polar solvency capacity."
The ethylene carbonate market is segmented into solid and liquid forms, with the liquid form expected to experience the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. Liquid ethylene carbonate is a highly polar solvent capable of effectively dissolving significant solutes, including electrolytes and various chemicals. As a result, it has extensive applications in industries such as lithium battery electrolytes and solvents and as a reagent in multiple processes.
"Lithium battery electrolytes accounted for the larger share of the ethylene carbonate market primarily due to the rapid growth in demand for lithium-ion batteries."
The ethylene carbonate market is segmented based on applications such as lubricants, lithium battery electrolytes, plasticizers, surface coatings, etc. Among these applications, lithium battery electrolytes accounted for the larger share of the market in 2023. Lithium-ion batteries are extensively used in various applications such as consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems. Ethylene carbonate is a crucial component in the formulation of electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries due to its ability to improve the performance and stability of these batteries. As the market for lithium-ion batteries expands globally, driven by the shift towards electric mobility and renewable energy solutions, the demand for ethylene carbonate as a key electrolyte material has correspondingly increased, contributing to its significant market share.
"The increasing adoption of electric vehicles has driven the demand for ethylene carbonate within the automotive sector."
The automotive sector thrives as manufacturers strive to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions, contributing to smog formation. Efforts include adopting lightweight materials like plastics, leading to increased demand for plasticizers such as ethylene carbonate. Additionally, the global adoption of electric vehicles has steadily risen over the past five years, driving sales of ethylene carbonate, particularly in applications such as lubricants and battery electrolytes within the automotive industry.
"Asia Pacific is projected to experience the highest growth rate in the forecast period."
Asia Pacific is anticipated to achieve the highest growth rate in the forecast period, driven by countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and India, which are prominent hubs for manufacturing batteries, lubricants, paints, and coatings. The economic growth in these significant countries has spurred expansion in the industrial and automotive sectors, fostering increased demand for ethylene carbonate across diverse applications. Meanwhile, Europe is expected to hold the second-largest market size by the end of the forecast period.
