Asia Pacific to Lead Global Polyalkylene Glycol Market with 51.80% Share

From a geographical perspective, in 2015, Asia Pacific led the global polyalkylene glycol market and is estimated remain at the topmost position throughout the forecast period. The growing demand in diverse end-use industries is one of the primary factors augmenting the Asia Pacific polyalkylene glycol market, which is slated to account for a dominant 51.80% share by the end of 2023. North America is expected to remain in the second position in terms of revenue, thanks to the increasing disposable income among consumers and the development of the economy.

In terms of application, the polyurethane foam segment is projected to lead the global polyalkylene glycol market and hold a share of 45.30% in the global market by the end of 2023. High growth of this segment can be attributed to the rising application of polyurethane foam in diverse industries, such as refrigeration, construction, aerospace, and automotive. The lubricants and personal care segments are anticipated to witness robust growth in the next few years, says a TMR analyst.

Rising Demand from Automotive Industry to Bolster Global Polyalkylene Glycol Market

The growing demand for polyalkylene glycol for the manufacturing of polyurethane foam is the primary factor fuelling the growth of the overall market. In addition, the increasing number of properties offered by polyalkylene glycol, such as high viscosity indexes, water solubility, and bio-degradability, is estimated to contribute significantly toward the growth of the overall market.

Furthermore, the developing automotive industry in emerging nations and the rising demand for polyalkylene glycol for refrigerator oils are estimated to accelerate the growth of the global market in the near future. The expansion of application base is also likely to encourage the market's growth across the globe.
