Polyalkylene Glycols Market by Type (Polyethylene Glycol, Polypropylene Glycol, and Others), and by Application (Lubricants, Surface Active Agents, Pharmaceutical, Personal Care, and Others) - Global Trends & Forecasts to 2020
The global Polyalkylene glycol market has been segmented on the basis of type, application, and geography. The application segment is sub-divided into lubricants, surface active agents, pharmaceutical, personal care, and others. Lubricants application is the leading segment, capturing the maximum share of the overall PAGs market in 2014. The automotive industry is the largest consumer of PAGs for lubricant application and the rapid growth of the industry is expected to drive the demand for polyalkylene glycols. The PAGs market size is estimated at USD 1.33 Billion in 2014 and is projected to reach USD 2.62 Billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 11.7% between 2015 and 2020. In this report, 2014 is considered as the base year and the forecast period is between 2015 and 2020.
This research study used extensive secondary sources, directories, and databases such as Hoovers, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and Factiva to identify and collect information useful for this technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the polyalkylene glycol market. The primary sources are mainly several industry experts from core and related industries and preferred suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, service providers, and organizations related to all segments of the industrys supply chain.
The raw material suppliers for PAGs identified in the study are ethane, propane petroleum, and catalyst suppliers. The major PAGs manufacturers are profiled in the report. The polyalkylene glycol value chain starts with the procurement of raw materials required for the manufacturing of raw materials. The main raw materials for the production of PAGs are derived from petrochemical feedstocks and are known as olefins. Once these raw materials reach the polyalkylene glycol manufacturers, they are processed to make a final product and are delivered to OEM manufacturers or other end-use industries. The end user for PAGs are automobile manufacturers, oil & natural gas producing companies, textile producers, food processing companies, healthcare industry, and so on.
The target audience for the Polyalkylene glycol market report would be PAGs manufacturers, dealers, suppliers, end-use companies, raw material suppliers, and others. The major players operational in the global PAGs market are the Dow Chemical Company (U.S.), BASF SE (Germany), Ineos Group (Japan), Clariant AG (U.S.), Huntsman Corporation (Japan), Idemitsu Kosan Co. (U.S.), Ashland Inc. (U.S.), Exxon Mobil (U.S.), AkzoNobel N.V. (Netherlands), Stepan Company (U.S.), and others. These companies have adopted various strategies such as new product launch, expansion, and R&D, among others to achieve growth in the global PAGs market.

The global Polyalkylene glycol market was estimated to be worth USD 1.33 Billion in 2014 and is projected to reach USD 2.62 Billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 11.7% between 2015 and 2020. This high growth of the market is owed to the increasing demand from end-use industries in the U.S., Germany, France, China, India, and Japan. The increased usage of PAGs in a variety of applications is also one of the key factor driving the PAGs market. The growing demand for processed food, metal working fluids, surfactants, compressor lubricants, and increased vehicle production is supporting the growth of the global PAGs market. The major restraints of the PAGs market are fluctuating crude oil price. The price of PAGs are quite expensive compared to other conventional oils.
The lubricants application segment dominated the Polyalkylene glycol market and is also expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Surface active agents is the second-largest application of PAGs and is also expected to witness a significant growth rate. The growing automotive industry, improved standard of living, and shifting customer preference towards processed food in emerging economies are the main factors driving the growth of this market.
The PAGs market is classified on the basis of type: polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polypropylene glycol (PPG). The PAGs market is dominated by polyethylene glycol because of its high performance and environment friendly properties. PEG is also the fastest-growing application during the forecast period. It is most commonly used in the lubricants application.
Currently, Asia-Pacific is the largest market for PAGs, closely followed by North America. It is also the fastest-growing market for PAGs due to high demand from China, India, and Japan, which are the major market for PAGs. The growing automotive industry and the emerging industrial sector in this region is expected to drive the growth of the polyalkylene glycol market.
Asia-Pacific and North America are the most active markets in terms of strategic initiatives undertaken. Some of the factors driving the growth of the polyalkylene glycols market are high end-use industry growth, amplified local manufacturing, and increased number of domestic players in various vertical market segments. Expansion is the most preferred strategy adopted by the key market players to sustain in this highly competitive market.
Some of the important polyalkylene glycols companies are the Dow Chemical Company (U.S.), BASF SE (Germany), Ineos Group (Japan), Clariant AG (U.S.), Huntsman Corporation (Japan), Idemitsu Kosan Co. (U.S.), Ashland Inc. (U.S.), Exxon Mobil (U.S.), AkzoNobel N.V. (Netherlands), and Stepan Company (U.S.). The companies in this market need to compete with each other with respect to prices and product offering to meet the market requirements.
