Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) Market worth over $18bn by 2024

  • Published Date: June 22, 2017

Polyalkylene Glycol Market size is poised to exceed USD 18 billion by 2024; according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

Strong polyurethane (PU) foam demand is likely to make significant contribution towards polyalkylene glycol market size during the forecast period. This is attributed to extensive PU foam applications in several industries including construction, automotive, electronics etc. Thus, robust growth indicators in the aforementioned industries on account of improving socio-economic factors will boost business growth by 2024. In addition, polyols are the most consumed chemicals in manufacturing PU foam and accounts for over 30% of the total share of chemicals used to manufacture PU foam.
 

Technological advancements primarily in the automotive sector has resulted in development of more intricate internal parts which in turn has propelled lubricants demand. In addition, lubricant producers are advertising to encourage use of fully formulated engine oils for consumers to achieve fuel economy. Moreover, automobiles demand will continue to rise owing to increasing consumer’s disposable income which will consequently drive lubricants demand in the near future. This will subsequently have positive impact on the polyalkylene glycol market size by 2024.
 

PAG lubricants are likely to replace conventional synthetic lubricants in the market owing to better oxidation stability and environment friendly nature. Furthermore, they impart high performance, greater efficiency, reduced maintenance, lower emission and longer service life of machines & components resulting in providing economic benefits to the consumer which will boost polyalkylene glycol market size over the projected timeframe.
 

Wavering petroleum sector owing to fluctuating prices are probable to hinder the global polyalkylene glycol market size over the projected timespan. This is due to dependency of petrochemical derivatives as raw material from oil & gas industry. However, strong growth indicators in the pharmaceuticals and personal care industry will generate sufficient prospects for polyalkylene glycol market size in the near future.
