Strategic Insights
Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) Market Growth Drivers- Increase in Polyester Fiber Production: Another significant market growth driver in mono ethylene glycol is the production of polyester fiber. Polyester is one of the most widely consumed textile and clothing or home furnishings products; hence, MEG will also gain from increasing demand for polyester fiber. The textile industry requires polyester fibers for their strength, versatility, and low cost. Synthesis of PET, the polymer majorly used in the production of polyester fibers, will thus require an MEG key. Expected is that the increase in the level of production to meet consumers' demand will spill over into the corresponding increase in the demand for MEG.
- Growth of Sustainable and Recycled Polyester: Another driver of the MEG market is the growing popularity of sustainable and recycled polyester. More companies nowadays produce such kinds of recyclables, using recycled PET, which still needs MEG for its processing. This approach, aside from providing the right kind of backup for the environmental initiative, underlines the role that MEG has been playing in the circular economy-that is, its market growth.
- Increasing Polyester Fiber Production: Polyester fiber production can well be a strong growth driver in the monoethylene glycol market. As textile output rises and production processes expand, the demand for MEG as an important raw material will continue to increase, which in turn offers considerable opportunities for manufacturers in this business.
- Development of Bio-based Monoethylene Glycol (MEG): The development of bio-based monoethylene glycol has emerged as a significant growth driver in the monoethylene glycol market. Industries have recently taken more interest in sustainability, and so, the development of bio-based MEG from renewable sources is emerging as an eco-friendly alternative to the widely used petroleum-based MEG-a very attractive product for both environmentally conscious consumers and producers.
- The Role of Bio-based MEG in Sustainability: Bio-based MEG fits well in this sustainable world; producers are eager to reduce the carbon footprint of their company. Bio-based MEG contributes to the breaking of dependence on fossil fuels while being advocated for in the field of circular economy through waste utilization and agriculture by-products. It is already beginning to attract more investment and researches on this front.
- Increasing Industry Applications of Bio-based MEG: Bio-based MEG is being highly consumed in formulations by the textile and packaging industries. As more consumers raise concerns regarding the sustainability of products being offered, manufacturers are integrating bio-based materials into their production lines for better market positioning. Bio-based MEG is used in manufacturing polyester fibers and PET. Hence, it contributes majorly in making eco-friendly textiles and packaging materials.
- Increase in Automotive Applications: Automotive applications are strongly driving growth opportunities in the monoethanolamine market. MEA is used in diverse automobile formulating applications like fuel additives, engine coolants, and anti-corrosion agents. As time passes by, due to the changing needs of the automotive industry, more demand for high-performance chemicals, such as MEA, is expected to be required and its market to be boosted.
- Fuel Efficiency and Environmental Standards: The requirement for fuel efficiency and lower emissions forces the manufacturer to incorporate MEA in fuel formulations. MEA provides higher combustion efficiency and reduces engine deposits, which is critical for dealing with stringent environmental standards. The demand for MEA in automotive applications will increase as automobile manufacturers intend to enhance the performance of vehicles while reducing their adverse effects on the environment.
- Growing Demand in Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: In addition, electric vehicles and hybrid technologies are of growing interest. It is used in the formulation of cooling fluids and electrolytes for the battery-an essential component for efficient running of electric vehicles. As the market continues to grow for electric and hybrid vehicles, the requirements for specialty chemicals like MEA are likely to increase.

The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
