H1 2023: The prominent producers of Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) in H1 2023 were Nan Ya Plastics, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, and Reliance Industries Limited. In March 2023, Indian Oil board passed the approval of setting of a new complex, Paradip Petrochemical Complex which aims at producing various chemicals like MEG, Poly propylene, High Density Polyethylene, Linear Low Density Polyethylene, Poly Vinyl Chloride, and Others. The plant will be located at Paradip, Odisha, India. This plant aims at fulfilling the chemical needs of East India and is the largest spending of IOCL at a single location and is worth USD 7320 million (INR 61007 crore). Geographically, MEG was majorly consumed by the Asia Pacific region in H1 2023. The MEG prices constantly increased in the Chinese market beginning from January 2023. Numerous Chinese MEG manufacturers had their operation plants under maintenance shutdown in H1 2023. MEG availability was tight in the Asian nation as several MEG units and plants in China were temporarily closed. Downstream industries in China were running at low-capacity utilization. Also, MEG prices were also influenced by the scarcity of feedstock supply and volatility in the crude oil market. Additionally, Fund Energy had a 10-day maintenance schedule MEG plant in late February 2023. Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company (ZRCC), a Chinese MEG manufacturer, had their plant shut for 60 days, beginning from March 2023.
The global Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) market reached about 36 million and is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of 4.44% during the forecast period until 2034. Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is a versatile industrial chemical with high demand owing to its properties such as high durability, hydrophobic nature, and extreme tenacity. It is keenly used as a key ingredient or as a feedstock for manufacturing a variety of products such as Polyester Fibres, Polyester Films, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), antifreeze products, Coolants, solvents, etc. Additionally, it is employed in paper, printing inks, leather, fibres treatment and cellophane industries due to its humectant nature.
Owing to all these applications, the major end use industries of MEG are Textile, Packaging, Cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals, Food and Beverage, Automobile, Chemicals, Adhesives & Sealants, and Others. Most of the MEG produced globally is utilized in the production of Polyester Fibers followed by Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Polyester films. The global MEG market is estimated to reach a volume of approximately 58 million tonnes in 2034.
Regionally, the Asia Pacific region is dominating the Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) market followed by Europe. This region held a market share of approximately 52% in 2023. Because of the strong demand of MEG from developing countries like China and India along with flourishing textile and rubber industry, the Asia Pacific region will most likely continue to dominate the global market.
