"Propylene Glycol Demand in U.S. Remains Strong" 

The U.S. is the leading consumer of propylene glycol globally. It accounted for a share of ~95% in North America in 2013. The demand for conventional propylene glycol in the region is strong due to high usage in the growing end-use applications such as unsaturated polyester resin and antifreeze & functional fluids. However, the North America region is also experiencing a shift from conventional propylene glycol to bio-based propylene glycol consumption. China is the second-largest consumer of propylene glycol globally. The growth of the Chinese propylene glycol market can be attributed to it being a global manufacturing hub for various chemical derivatives and end-products. The flourishing pharmaceuticals & cosmetics industry in China is further resulting in the higher propylene glycol demand from the country.
