Market Dynamics:

The global ethylene oxide market is primarily driven by the growing demand for ethylene glycol, which is extensively used in the production of PET bottles and polyester fibers. The increasing use of ethylene oxide in the manufacturing of detergents, solvents, and glycol ethers is also fueling market growth. However, volatility in raw material prices, stringent regulations regarding ethylene oxide emissions, and the availability of substitutes such as bio-based ethylene glycol are expected to hamper market growth.

Market Future Outlook:

The ethylene oxide market (산화에틸렌 시장) is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for ethylene glycol in the production of PET bottles and polyester fibers. The growing use of ethylene oxide in the manufacturing of detergents and solvents is also expected to contribute to market growth. Additionally, the rising demand for ethylene oxide as a sterilizing agent in the healthcare sector is expected to further drive market growth.

Market Insights:

The global ethylene oxide market is segmented based on application into ethylene glycol, surfactants, ethanolamines, glycol ethers, and polyethylene glycols. Ethylene glycol is the largest application segment, accounting for a significant share of the market. The surfactants segment is also a key application segment, driven by the increasing use of ethylene oxide in the production of detergents.

Key Players:

  • BASF
  • SABIC
  • India Glycols Ltd.
  • DowDupont
  • Indorama Venture Public Company Ltd.
  • Formosa Plastic Ltd.
  • Royal Dutch Shell
  • Indian Oil Corporation
