Ethylene glycol Market share- How big is the Ethylene glycol market?

China, the United States, and Germany are the leading exporters of ethylene glycol, collectively accounting for over 40% of global exports in 2023–2024, while India, South Korea, and Vietnam rank among the top importers, driven by polyester fiber and antifreeze manufacturing demand. Import volumes in Southeast Asia have risen steadily since 2022, coinciding with regional petrochemical capacity expansions and moderate fluctuations in ethylene glycol prices.

About Ethylene glycol

Ethylene glycol is a clear, colorless, odorless, viscous liquid with low volatility and a sweet taste; it has a melting point of −12.9 °C and a boiling point of 197.3 °C. It is a diol—specifically, a simple aliphatic glycol—and functions as a key organic chemical intermediate. Its primary industrial use is in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polyester resin and fibers, as well as unsaturated polyester resins for composites and coatings. It is also widely employed as an antifreeze and coolant in automotive and industrial heat-transfer systems, and serves as a solvent or humectant in paints, inks, and hydraulic fluids.

Automotive antifreeze, solvent, adjuvant.
It is colorless transparent viscous liquid with sweet taste and moisture absorption capability. It is also miscible with water, low-grade aliphatic alcohols, glycerol, acetic acid, acetone, ketones, aldehydes, pyridine and similar coal tar bases. It is slightly soluble in ether but almost insoluble in benzene and its homologues, chlorinated hydrocarbons, petroleum ether and oils.

This chemical is included in Basic Chemicals - Alcohols. See more about what is Ethylene glycol and Ethylene glycol SDS information.
