Market Insights
Triethylene glycol, or TEG, is a colourless, viscous, non-volatile liquid with the formula C6H14O4. It is completely miscible with water and other liquids. The product possesses almost similar properties like other glycol compounds. It is preferred over diethylene glycol in applications requiring a high boiling point and low volatility.
The triethylene glycol market was impacted by the pandemic. Industry stakeholders suffered due to temporary production shutdowns, supply chain disruptions, cash flow constraints, and lockdowns. As a result, the demand for triethylene glycol decreased in 2020.
However, increasing demand for natural gas from various end-use industries such as power generation, transportation, and domestic applications is expected to drive the recovery and growth of the triethylene glycol market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the demand for clean alternative transportation fuels, paired with the growing importance of renewable energy sources is likely to accelerate the market growth. Also, the increasing application scope of plasticizers in automotive, construction, and synthetic rubber production is expected to bolster increased usage of the product. As a result, the triethylene glycol market is expected to grow at a modest CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period.
Segment Analysis
Based on the application type, the market is segmented as natural gas dehydration, solvents, plasticizers, polyurethanes, humectants, polyester resins, and others. Natural gas dehydration is likely to remain the dominant segment during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increasing production of natural gas and recent advancements in the industry. Triethylene glycol is also used to produce a variety of products for industrial and commercial applications such as solvents, adhesives & coatings, lubricants, polyurethane foams, emulsifiers, and thermoplastics.
In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market for triethylene glycol over the forecast period. Rising government spending on natural gas exploration projects in China and India is driving the growth of the region’s market. Also, North America is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to a surge in natural gas production and a growing trend for natural gas-based power plants in the U.S and Canada.
