Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) Market Size & Growth (2023-2028):

Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) Market size was around USD 28.51 billion by revenue, at the end of 2022. It is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.53% to reach USD 35.85 billion by 2028.

Monoethylene glycol is also given the word ethylene glycol which is sweet in the tasting, colorless, and odorless composite. Monoethylene glycol is obtained from ethylene, a downstream composite of crude oil and natural gas. It is a key raw material employed in different industrial implementations. It is broadly employed in the manufacturing of films, fibers, and polyester resin. It is also employed as a coolant composite, dewatering agent, aircraft deicer and anti-icer, anti-freeze, and chemical transmitter. MEG is gained through an industrial procedure from ethylene oxide that is hydrated through the thermal procedure. The ethylene employed in the production of MEG is produced by different sources like naphtha, synthesis gas, coal, and biomass, whereas gas-based technology is highly employed in the market. The call for the biomass-based production procedure for MEG is gaining popularity due to its renewability and decreasing dependence on naphtha and coal-based sources.

Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) Market Drivers & Restraints:

MEG is one of the broadly employed raw materials for the making of polyester fibers and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins. PET resins are employed in the making of different products, involving textiles, tire cords, PET bottles, and water containers. MEG is employed in so many applications like stabilizers against gel formation, heat transfer fluids (gas compressors, ventilating, procedure chillers, and also in air conditioning), and water-based formulations. The antifreeze grade MEG is initially employed in the making of automotive antifreeze and coolants. Monoethylene glycol is mainly employed in the making of PET and polyester resins. In addition to that, polyester fabrics are broadly employed in apparel, yarns and ropes, home furnishings, and other industrial applications like insulating tapes and conveyor belts.

The key factor which is driving the expansion of the global Monoethylene Glycol market is the rising call for PET resin, polyester fibers, and antifreeze. In addition to that, Monoethylene Glycol is a bio-degradable compound owing to which the aquatic organisms are less impacted. This factor is also attributed to the expansion of the industry. Exposure to MEG is very harmful to humans; ingestion of this may highly impact the kidneys, heart, and central nervous systems, which is hindering the expansion of the market. 

Increasing calls for non-ionic surfactants and rising textile & fiber businesses are estimated to create so many opportunities for the growth of the industry. The rising employment of mono ethylene glycol as a raw material for manufacturing polyester fiber and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) will probably boost the monoethylene glycol market size by 2025. Enhanced standard of living in addition to the modern fashion tendency of the customers for newly made attires is estimated to drive the polyester fiber call, directly rising the product industry size in the foreseen period. The product further finds uses in many industrial employments like antifreeze, hydrate inhibitor in gas pipelines, and as a heat transfer agent, which is estimated to manufacture so many prospects from different end-use businesses.

Monoethylene Glycol Market

This research report includes the segmentation of the Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) Market as of 2028. 

Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) Market - By Application:

  • Fiber
  • PET
  • Film
  • Antifreeze & Coolant
  • others

Fiber is estimated to be the biggest sector of application owing to the huge call of Monoethylene glycol in the textile end-use market for producing artificial fiber and polyester fiber. Antifreeze & Coolant is estimated to rise at the highest CAGR throughout the forecast period owing to their call-in automotive and chemical end-use businesses.

Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) Market - By Technology:

Naphtha-based

  • Coal-and Natural Gas-based
  • Bio-based MEG

The naphtha-based sector is estimated to rise at the highest CAGR during the foreseen period.
