Report Code : A11632
The global diethylene glycol market is expected to head toward growth expansion in the coming years, owing to rise in demand for DEG from plastic industry, paints & coatings, automotive, and cement industry. The growing plastic industry across developing economies, such as China and India, has surged the demand for DEG as raw material for the production of plasticizers for the manufacturing of cork, synthetic sponges, and flexible PVC. In addition, rise in demand for cement from the building & construction industry across the globe has surged the demand for DEG as grinding aid to achieve higher cement fineness and smooth mill operation. Furthermore, apart from the growing construction industry, automotive and furniture industries across developing countries, such as Brazil, China, and India, led to surge in demand for paints and coatings. DEG is used as a modifier in the manufacture of alkyd resins used in formulating paints. Surge in disposable income of individuals across these count

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Diethylene Glycol Market: Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030,”
The global diethylene glycol market was valued at $2.4 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $3.8 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2021 to 2030.
Diethylene glycol (DEG) is a colorless, low volatility, low viscosity, hygroscopic (picks up water from the air) liquid. It is completely miscible with water and many organic liquids. It is almost entirely used for industrial and commercial applications. The largest use of diethylene glycol as an intermediate is in the production of unsaturated polyester resins, polyols, and polyurethanes. Other applications for diethylene glycol include its use as an intermediate for the manufacture of triethylene glycol and tetraethylene glycol, as an ingredient in antifreeze and heat transfer fluids, and as a solvent for inks and cleaning filters.
The growing use of DEG as a plasticizer in the plastics industry is expected to fuel its demand during the forecast period. Excellent hygroscopicity and low volatility of the product are expected to surge its demand in gas drying applications. In addition, DEG is used as a chemical intermediate for products, such as polyurethanes and polyester resins, which is anticipated to drive the growth of the market in future. DEG is also used in the cosmetics and personal care industry in lotions, skin creams, deodorants, and toothpastes. In addition, surge in demand for polyurethane (PU) and other plastic products in major end-use industries, such as building & construction and automotive, is expected to drive the growth of the DEG market during the forecast period. However, the toxic nature of DEG is expected to hamper the growth of diethylene glycol market in the coming years.
By application, the global diethylene glycol market size is studies across plasticizer, solvent (printing inks, paint pigments, and dye formation), polyester resin, chemical intermediate (unsaturated resin, thermoplastic polyurethanes, polyester polyols, PEG, TriEG, TetraEG, emulsifiers, and morpholine), freezing point depressant (antifreeze coolant and heat transfer fluids), lubricant (glass cement grinding, polishes, and mold release agents), dehydrant, brake fluids, cosmetic & personal care, and others. The plasticizer segment accounted for the largest market share in 2020, owing to surge in demand for DEG as raw material for the production of plasticizer for paper, cork, synthetic sponges, and flexible PVC. Plasticizer dominated the global diethylene glycol market with more than one-fourth of the total market share in 2020.
By end-use industry, the global diethylene glycol market is studies across plastic industry, paints and coatings, automotive, agrochemical, oil and gas, cement, textiles, cosmetic and personal care, and others. the plastic industry segment emerged as the leader in 2020, owing to surge in use of diethylene glycol as a raw material for producing plasticizers for paper, cork, and synthetic sponges. The plastic industry dominated the global market with nearly one-fourth of the total market share in 2020.
Region-wise, the global diethylene glycol market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Asia-Pacific accounted for the major global diethylene glycol market share in 2020, and dominated the global market with more than one-third of the total market share in 2020.
The major players studied and profiled in the global diethylene glycol market are Reliance Industries, GC Glycol Company, BASF SE, Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Huntsman International LLC, SABIC, India Glycol Limited, Lyondell Basell Industries, Indian Oil Corporation, and Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation.
