The Global Tri-ethylene Glycol Market is estimated to be USD 908.22 Mn in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 1097.04 Mn by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 3.85%.TEG is biodegradable and does not persist in the environment, however, its production involves the use of ethylene oxide, which is derived from fossil fuels
- Triethylene glycol (TEG), often known as tri glycol, is an organic compound that is an ether-alcohol derivate. Triethylene glycol is distinguished by the presence of two different hydroxyl groups. It is translucent, soluble in acetone, ethanol, acetic acid, and pyridine, but insoluble in fat, oil, and a wide range of hydrocarbons. TEG is a colorless liquid with a slight odor that is heavier than water and soluble in water. TEG also has hygroscopic qualities and reacts with a wide range of hydrocarbons. TEG generates combustible and hazardous fumes when it reacts with a mixture of alcohols, nitrides, alkali metals, and strong reducing agents. When TEG combines with oxoacids and carboxylic acids, it produces ester and water.
- TEG is used to produce various commercial and industrial products such as polyurethane foams, emulsifiers, solvents, adhesives & coatings, lubricants, and thermoplastics. The increasing use of plastic in consumer goods such as containers, kitchenware, and industrial products has created a demand for plasticizers, which is projected to drive the tri-ethylene glycol (TEG) market forward. Furthermore, tri ethylene glycol (TEG) is an excellent solvent employed in various applications such as printing inks, cleaning compounds, and aromatic hydrocarbon separations. Thus, the widespread use of tri ethylene glycol (TEG) as a solvent for various purposes is predicted to fuel the market's growth rate.
- However, the high cost of triethylene glycol (TEG) can hinder the growth of the Global Tri-Ethylene Glycol Market. TEG is primarily produced from ethylene oxide, which is derived from ethylene. Fluctuations in ethylene or ethylene oxide prices directly impact TEG production costs, potentially leading to higher prices for TEG in the market and limiting its supply. This high cost puts companies reliant on TEG at a competitive disadvantage compared to those using alternative substances or processes, prompting industries to explore cheaper alternatives and potentially reducing demand for TEG. Additionally, if TEG prices rise significantly, industries may seek substitute chemicals or technologies that offer similar functionalities at a lower price, potentially restricting TEG's market expansion. Sectors sensitive to price, such as the pharmaceutical industry, may face increased production costs if TEG prices are high, which can impact the growth of industries heavily relying on TEG.
- Triethylene glycol (TEG) is extensively used in the automotive industry for various purposes. It serves as an ingredient in coolant and antifreeze formulations, preventing freezing and corrosion in the engine. TEG is also employed in brake fluids, providing lubrication for consistent brake performance. Additionally, it finds application as a deicing agent, lowering the freezing point of fluids to remove ice and frost. TEG is used in air conditioning systems to remove moisture and enhance efficiency. It also acts as a fuel system additive, improving combustion and reducing carbon deposits, and as a lubricant additive, enhancing the viscosity and performance of oils and fluids in the automotive sector. Thus, the high use of TEG in the automotive industry creates an opportunity for Global Tri-Ethylene Glycol Market.
Market Segmentations
- The Global Tri-Ethylene Glycol Market is segmented based on Purity, Application, End-User, and Geography.
- By Purity, the market is classified into Purity 98.2 %, Purity 98.5 %, and Purity 99.5 %. 99.5 % pure TEG has the largest share as many applications doesn't require higher purity levels enabling 99.5% pure TEG to be a practical and economical choice.
- By Applications, the market is classified into Plasticizer, Dehumidifying Agents, Dehydration of Natural Gas, Brake Fluids, and Others. Dehydration of the Natural Gas segment holds the highest share as it is highly used in Oil & Gas industry.
- By End-User, the market is classified into Oil & Gas, Chemical, Textile, Construction, Automotive, and Others. Oil & Gas Industry holds the largest share used as a dehydrating agent for natural gas pipelines, where it removes the water from the gas before being condensed.
- By Geography, the market is classified into the Americas, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Asia-Pacific has the largest share due to the growing government spending on natural gas exploration in China and India.
