The global propylene oxide market size reached US$ 19.9 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, the analyst expects the market to reach US$ 27.5 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% during 2023-2028.

Propylene oxide (C3H6O), also known as epoxypropane, is a synthetic cyclic ether majorly produced by either the dehydrochlorination of propylene chlorohydrin or the indirect oxidation of propylene. It is a clear, volatile liquid that is flammable, non-corrosive to metals, and soluble in water and alcohol. As a result, it is extensively utilized in the automotive, electronics, textile & furnishing, and as a precursor in the production of various chemicals. It is also applied as a fumigant for controlling bacterial contamination and insect infestations in soil and packaged food products. Besides this, minor quantities of propylene oxide are used for sterilizing medical equipment.

Propylene Oxide Market Trends:

The market growth can be attributed to the expanding applications of propylene oxide in various end use industries. For instance, polyether polyols and propylene glycol ethers produced from propylene oxide, are widely utilized in the textile, automotive, construction and aerospace industries. It is also used as a transition fluid in tissue processing for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Apart from this, changing lifestyles, burgeoning food and beverage (F&B) industry and the growing health consciousness among individuals are escalating the demand for packaged food products, which, in turn, is contributing to the market growth.
