NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As per Zion Market Research study, The global polyalkylene glycol market size was worth around USD 1.9 billion in 2021 and is predicted to grow to around USD 4.0 billion by 2028 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 10.5% between 2022 and 2028.

Polyalkylene Glycol Market: Overview

Ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, or copolymers of these are used to make polyalkylene glycol. These offer more performance advantages and are used to replace petroleum-based lubricants. Polyalkylene Glycol is more viscous, has a higher viscosity index, a lower vapor pressure, a higher flash point, and has higher solvency when compared to petroleum-based lubricants. They are also less likely to produce tar and sludge and have lower metal and ash contents.

Key Industry Insights & Findings of the Polyalkylene Glycol Market Reports:

  • As per the analysis shared by our research analyst, the global Polyalkylene Glycol market is estimated to grow annually at a CAGR of around 10.5% over the forecast period (2022-2028).
  • In terms of revenue, the global Polyalkylene Glycol market size was valued at around USD 1.9 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 4.0 billion, by 2028. Due to a variety of driving factors, the market is predicted to rise at a significant rate.
  • Polyalkylene glycol is excellent for metal-on-metal applications with operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to 200°C, it is used as a base oil for lubricants such as gear lubricants, metalworking lubricants, refrigeration oil, and hydraulic fluids, among others.
  • The expansion of the global polyalkylene glycol market is being restrained by replacements since they have comparable chemical characteristics, functionality, and other characteristics like temperature range, viscosity, and more.
  • The average cost of polyalkylene glycol ranges from about USD 2,800 to much more when comparing prices. While the average cost of polyalphaolefin per metric tonne is between USD 2,500 and USD 3,000.
  • The demand for food-grade industrial lubricants is anticipated to increase significantly in the food processing sector. This is mostly due to a shift in demand for automated factories and lubrication systems.

Zion Market Research published the latest report titled "Global Polyalkylene Glycol Market By Type (Polyethylene Glycol [PEG] and Polypropylene Glycol [PPG]), By Application (Polyurethane Foam, Functional Fluids, Lubricants, Personal Care, Pharmaceuticals and Surface Active Agents), and By Region - Global and Regional Industry Overview, Market Intelligence, Comprehensive Analysis, Historical Data, and Forecasts 2022 – 2028." into their research database.

Industry Dynamics:

Polyalkylene Glycol Market: Growth Drivers

  • Increasing use of polyalkylene glycol in lubricants to drive the market

Because polyalkylene glycol is excellent for metal-on-metal applications with operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to 200°C, it is used as a base oil for lubricants such as gear lubricants, metalworking lubricants, refrigeration oil, and hydraulic fluids, among others. They are also used in situations requiring thermal stability and elastomeric compatibility at high temperatures. The development of high-performance lubricants for many end-use industries, including automotive, textile, food & beverage, and others, is being supported by the global lubricants industry participants' use of synthetic base oils. Leading lubricant manufacturers are creating PAG-based hydraulic and gear lubricants, including Shell, Castrol, Cargill, and Exxon. In October 2020, Shell Plc increased its lubricants business and added a few fire-resistant fluids based on polyalkylene glycol (PAG) to its product line. In end-use industries, these items are made to operate superbly even under difficult situations. Thus, driving the global polyalkylene glycol market growth.

Polyalkylene Glycol Market: Restraints

  • The availability of substitute products might hamper the market.

There are many alternatives to polyalkylene glycol, including polyalphaolefin (PAO), artificial esters, ionic fluids, and more. The expansion of the global polyalkylene glycol market is being restrained by replacements since they have comparable chemical characteristics, functionality, and other characteristics like temperature range, viscosity, and more. The production of lubricants frequently substitutes polyalphaolefin (PAO). In terms of mineral oil solubility, polyalkylene glycol is inferior to polyalphaolefin because only some mineral oils are soluble in it, but polyalphaolefin is completely soluble in them. When compared to polyalphaolefin, the rolling wear feature of polyalkylene glycol is weaker. Additionally, the average cost of polyalkylene glycol ranges from about USD 2,800 to much more when comparing prices. While the average cost of polyalphaolefin per metric tonne is between USD 2,500 and USD 3,000. Thus, the aforementioned reasons are expected to limit the market growth during the forecast period.

Polyalkylene Glycol Market: Opportunities

  • Increasing demand for food-grade industrial lubricants is expected to drive market.

During the forecast period, the demand for food-grade industrial lubricants is anticipated to increase significantly in the food processing sector. This is mostly due to a shift in demand for automated factories and lubrication systems. Common uses for polyalkylene glycol include metalworking fluids, food-grade lubricants, quenchants, and lubricants for hydraulic and compressor equipment. It is projected that these factors will produce profitable opportunities for the global polyalkylene glycol market.

Global Polyalkylene Glycol Market: Segmentation

  • The global polyalkylene glycol market is segmented based on type, application, and region.

Based on the type, the global market is bifurcated into Polyethylene Glycol [PEG] and Polypropylene Glycol [PPG]. Polypropylene Glycol [PPG] held the largest market share in 2021 and is expected to show its dominance during the forecast period. As it is used to create a range of foams, including hard, spray, and flexible, PU foam is one of PPG's biggest customers. Additionally, it is frequently utilized as a lubricant and in deicing agent formulations in the automotive and aviation industries. Strong global demand for PU foam and lubricants will therefore have a beneficial impact on business growth. On the other hand, Polyethylene Glycol [PEG] is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to its adaptable qualities, which make it desirable for widespread application across industries like plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and personal care. PEG is additionally utilized in lubricant formulations and functional fluids in the industrial, refrigeration, aerospace, and automotive industries.

Based on the application, the global polyalkylene glycol market is categorized into polyurethane foam, functional fluids, lubricants, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and surface active agents. The lubricants segment held the largest market share in 2021 and is expected to show similar trends over the projection period. This is due to the higher performance provided by PAG-based lubricants, which aid in achieving high performance in powerful vehicle engines, aircraft, marine applications, and automotive applications under difficult circumstances. Additionally, they are favored over their more established competitors because of their environmental friendliness.
