[Online Quarterly Update]The Ethylene Oxide (EO) Market has grown at 22.45 million tonnes in 2020 and is anticipated to achieve a healthy CAGR of 4.60% in the forecast period until 2030. Ethylene Oxide (C2H4O) is a cyclic ether and the simplest epoxide that consists of one oxygen atom and two carbon atoms. It is a colorless, soluble, flammable, and highly reactive gas with a faintly sweet odor. The large-scale Industrial production of EO is done by the direct oxidation of Ethylene over suitable catalysts at a temperature of around 200°C to 300°C.
Ethylene oxide is a versatile chemical that is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of several industrial chemicals, the most notable of which is Ethylene Glycol. It finds its application as a surface disinfectant that is widely used in the healthcare and medical equipment industry to replace steam in the sterilization of heat-sensitive tools and equipment, such as disposable plastic syringes. The growing demand for EO for the sterilization of medical devices is driving the Ethylene Oxide market globally. Ethylene Oxide is extensively used in non-contact infrared thermometers, thermal imaging systems (Infrared thermographic systems/thermal imaging cameras), liquid chemical sterilization, patient lifts, surgical staplers, and others. Niche applications of the chemical include household and industrial cleaners, personal care items like cosmetics and shampoos, polyurethanes, heat transfer liquids, plasticizers, ointments, fabrics for clothes, upholstery, carpet, etc., With the rising population especially in emerging countries, the demand for personal and healthcare products is rapidly increasing which is propelling the demand of Ethylene Oxide and is expected to boost the market in upcoming years.
Ethylene Oxide is derived into glycol ethers, acrylonitrile, ethoxylates, ethylene glycol, polyether polyols, and others. Increasing demand for these derivatives by the end-user industries is driving the overall market across the globe. The Ethylene Glycol segment dominates the market globally owing to high demand by automotive, packaging, and pharmaceutical industries. Ethylene Glycol is widely utilized for the production of polyester fibers, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins, and automotive antifreeze. The growing demand for Polyester fibers by the textile industry in the Asia Pacific region is expected to augment the EO market in the next few years.
On the basis of end-use industries, the EO market is segregated into pharmaceuticals, automotive, agrochemicals, food & beverages, textiles, personal care & cosmetics, and others. The surging demand for PET bottles from the food and beverage industries is driving the EO market around the world. The textile industry dominated the Ethylene Oxide market and is likely to maintain its dominance until the forecast period due to the high demand for Ethylene Oxide to treat or produce a variety of fibers.
Long term exposure of EO can cause adverse health effects like headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, breathing difficulty, drowsiness, weakness, exhaustion, eye and skin burns, frostbite, etc. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Ethylene Oxide is carcinogenic to humans by the inhalation route of exposure and can increase the risk of lymphoid and breast cancer.
The unprecedented fall of COVID-19 in 2020 led to a major decline in the Ethylene Oxide market around the world. Many end-user industries including personal care, textiles, automotive, and others witnessed a negative impact due to the disruption in the global supply chain. Manufacturing units temporarily halted their operations in order to curb the spread of deadly coronavirus. However, there was a surge in the demand for Ethylene Oxide for the production of Hand sanitizers and other cleaning agents during the covid times.
Among different regions, the Asia Pacific region dominated the Ethylene Oxide market globally in 2020 and is expected to maintain its dominance in the forecast period until 2030 owing to the increasing consumption of Ethylene Oxide in emerging countries. China holds the major consumption of Ethylene Oxide and its derivatives in the Asia-Pacific region. Rapidly growing demand for Ethylene Oxide from the major end-use industries including personal care, cosmetics, food and beverages, textile, and others is likely to boost the Ethylene Oxide market in the Asia Pacific region.
Major players for Ethylene Oxide include BASF SE, ABIC, India Glycols Limited, DowDuPont Inc., Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited, Formosa Plastics Corporation, U.S.A., Royal Dutch Shell Plc., Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., Huntsman International LLC., LOTTE Chemical CORPORATION, Akzo Nobel N.V, and others.
