[Online Quarterly Update] The global Polypropylene Glycol (PPG) market witnessed a demand of 1.64 million tonnes in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a healthy CAGR of 5.25% through 2030. Polypropylene Glycol is a polyether and a polymer of Propylene Glycol. PPGs are synthesized via the addition of propylene oxide to 1,2 Propylene Glycol in the presence of an alkaline catalyst at a high temperature around 100-200°C and under pressures ranging 2000-6000 hPa. It is a sticky and colorless liquid with no odor and low volatility. PPG is soluble in a broad range of solvents such as water, chloroform, and acetone but with increasing molecular mass its viscosity increases, and solubility in water decreases rapidly. Polypropylene exhibits versatile properties such as low density, chemical resistance, high moldability, and tensile strength, low moisture absorption, excellent lubricity, and cost-effectiveness. Due to these properties, Polypropylene Glycol is employed in several applications such as polyurethanes, additives, surfactants, hydraulic fluids, wetting agents, dispersants in the leather industry, antifreeze agents, adhesives, humectants, in suppressing foaming in industrial processes as well as it is the key element in the making of Paintballs. Apart from these applications, Polypropylene Glycol is also used to create artificial smoke or fog used in movies, theatrical productions, and fire-fighting training. Depending upon their molecular weight these are segmented into different grades such as Grade-1000, Grade 2000, Grade-3000, Grade-4000, and Grade 6000. Based upon their vast applications Polypropylene Glycol is used in various end-use in industries including Cosmetics and Personal Care, Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals, Building & Construction, Automotive, and Others (textile, paper, and pulp, electronics, consumer goods, chemicals, etc.). As Polypropylene Glycol is produced from petrochemicals as a feedstock hence, there is volatility in its prices according to the prices of petrochemicals. However, the major restraint for the PPG market is its association with health as well as environmental hazards. Key manufacturers of Polypropylene are now focusing to produce biobased PPG that not only brings stability in the prices but also helps in reducing carbon footprint.
The sudden outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic impacted several industries due to the imposition of nationwide lockdowns and trade restrictions by the global economies. There was a slum in the demand for Polypropylene Glycol in the first half of 2020, as its end-use industries such as Automotive and Construction sector were among the most hit sectors amid covid crisis. Although there was a steady demand from Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Goods, and Personal Care industries for Polypropylene as these industries were functional with their full efficacy even during the pandemic. Moreover, in the latter half of 2020, after the relaxations in lockdown, there was a speedy recovery in the Construction as well as Automobile sectors along with other end-use industries which consequently improved the demand for PPG in the global market. It is anticipated that the demand for Polypropylene Glycol is likely to grow at a promising rate in the forecast period owing to its vast applications in various end-use industries.
Region-wise, Asia-Pacific holds the major demand share of the Polypropylene Glycol market and is projected to grow significantly over the forecast period owing to the promptly emerging end-use industries such as Pharmaceuticals, Food and Beverage, Automobile and Construction in the region and likely to boost the market for Polypropylene Glycol in the forthcoming years. Moreover, urbanization and rise in per capita income along with changes in consumer preferences in emerging economies like China, India, Japan, South Korea are some other factors that are expected to fuel the market for PPG over the forecast period.
