Global PG Production to Go Beyond 2.56 Mln Tonnes in 2017, According to In-demand Report by Merchant Research & Consulting
London, UK (PRWEB) March 18, 2014 -- In 2013, the global production of propylene glycol (PG) registered a 8% YoY increase and exceeded 2.18 million tonnes. One of the major propellers of the robust production growth was the launch of a novel SCG-Dow PG unit in Thailand in March with the annual capacity of around 150,000 tonnes per year. In 2013, the world average PG industry operating rates were estimated at around 77%. The global PG market is witnessing a continuous shift to Asian countries, particularly to China. Another major trend in the worldwide PG market is the production of PG from bio feedstock. Presently, the US is the major PG manufacturing country, accounting for over 30% of the global PG supply. In 2013, the world PG consumption went beyond 2.12 million tonnes in volume. Novel capacity introductions and an increase in capacity utilization rates have caused a slight oversupply in the market.
The world PG market is forecast to grow by around 4.5% annually in the forthcoming years. The strongest growth is predicted to be recorded in China and several other emerging regions. In 2015, the market is expected to reach balance between supply and demand. In 2017, the global PG production will likely exceed the 2.56 million tones mark.
