• Ethylene Glycol MEG Market Intelligence | Price, Forecast, Cost Models, Market Analysis

Ethylene Glycol MEG Market Description

The global demand for ethylene glycol (EG) is expected to reach $532.1 million by 2022, growing at a steady CAGR of 3.9 percent. The key growth drivers of the market continue to be EG applications in packaging, polyester application in textiles, and as anti-freeze & coolants in automobiles. The growing demand will be further accentuated by capacity expansions in the Middle East and North America, with the Middle East contributing to a significant share in the export market. On the other hand, Europe and Asia would continue to experience a supply deficit of 6.6 MMT, and would be dependent on imports during the forecast period.

Approximately 68 percent of the EG demand is driven by PET and polyester fiber, thus making it the largest end-user industry segment. The report further discusses the global market outlook and trade dynamics of sodium cyanide in the regions of North America, Europe, and the APAC. China is a major importer of sodium cyanide from Taipei and Saudi Arabia and accounts for 58 percent of the total global imports. The report also provides a comprehensive cost and ethylene glycol price analysis, followed by an overview of major ethylene glycol distributors and suppliers (SABIC, SINOPEC, Equate Petrochemical Co., MEGlobal). The report also includes industry best practices, contract structures, and key margins.
