Abstracts

The global ethylene oxide market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.90% to reach a total market size of US$58.279 billion in 2023, increasing from US$43.738 billion in 2017. Ethylene Oxide (EO) is a colorless chemical and is flammable at room temperature. It is widely used in the polymer, packaging and antifreeze industries. However, it is very dangerous for direct household purposes. EO is mainly used for the production of ethylene glycol and also for the production of surfactants for washing and cleaning purposes. EO is used as a raw material for the production of ethanolamines, ethers and polyurethanes. Pure ethylene oxide is widely used as a disinfectant in hospitals and medical equipment industry to replace steam in the sterilization process. Also, it is used in the fumigation for agricultural purposes. China from the Asia-Pacific region is the leading supplier of EO globally. Growing demand for PET bottles is the major market driver whereas volatility of raw material prices is the major restraint of the global ethylene oxide market.
