Monopropylene Glycol Market Size Summary

The Monopropylene Glycol (MPG) market is poised for significant growth, driven by its increasing application in various industries such as aviation, automotive, and pharmaceuticals. Despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, including production halts and supply chain disruptions, the market is on a recovery path. MPG's unique properties, such as being colorless, viscous, and highly hygroscopic, make it a valuable component in the production of unsaturated polyester resins. These resins are extensively used in the construction industry for manufacturing building materials, which are in high demand due to infrastructure development, particularly in regions like Asia-Pacific. The region is expected to dominate the market, with China and India playing pivotal roles in its expansion due to their rapidly growing economies and industries.

The Asia-Pacific region, with its robust industrial base, is anticipated to lead the Monopropylene Glycol market during the forecast period. The region's burgeoning food and pharmaceutical industries, along with a thriving personal care sector, contribute significantly to the demand for MPG. In addition, the automotive industry's growth in the Asia-Oceania area further bolsters market prospects. The market is characterized by a consolidated structure, with major players like BASF, Shell plc, Dow, and LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V. actively participating. Recent collaborations, such as those between Braskem and Sojitz Corporation, and MOL and HELM, highlight ongoing efforts to expand MPG production and marketing, underscoring the market's dynamic nature and potential for continued growth.
