Global Propylene Glycol Industry - Demand from Unsaturated Polyester Resins Sector in Asia-Pacific to Drive the Market
Summary
Propylene glycol is a safe chemical which can be used both in industrial and consumer applications. From food and beverages to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, propylene glycol is used in almost every consumer requirement. Its largest use is in the manufacture of Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR) which is further processed to make reinforced plastics. This sector has driven global propylene glycol demand in the last decade and is expected to further accelerate the demand. However, the future of the global propylene glycol industry lies in the Asia-Pacific, which has contributed the most through consistent growth in UPR production.
