The global Ethylene Oxide market stood at nearly 28 million tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of 4.07% during the forecast period until 2032.
Ethylene oxide is a versatile chemical that is mainly used as an intermediate to produce several industrial chemicals, the most notable of which is Ethylene Glycol. Ethylene oxide also finds its application as a surface disinfectant that is widely used in the healthcare and medical equipment industry to replace steam in the sterilization of heat-sensitive tools and equipment, such as disposable plastic syringes. The growing demand for Ethylene Oxide for the sterilization of medical devices is driving the Ethylene Oxide market globally. Ethylene Oxide is extensively used in non-contact infrared thermometers, thermal imaging systems (Infrared thermographic systems/thermal imaging cameras), liquid chemical sterilization, patient lifts, surgical staplers, and others. Other applications of ethylene oxide include household and industrial cleaners, personal care items like cosmetics and shampoos, polyurethanes, heat transfer liquids, plasticizers, ointments, fabrics for clothes, upholstery, carpet, etc.
Ethylene Oxide is mostly used as a chemical intermediate to synthesize glycol ethers, acrylonitrile, ethoxylates, ethylene glycol, and polyether polyols, which are employed in various downstream industries. Increasing demand for these derivatives by the end-user industries is driving the overall market across the globe. The Ethylene Glycol segment dominates the market globally owing to its high usage in the automotive, packaging, and pharmaceutical industries. Ethylene Glycol is widely utilized for the production of polyester fibers, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins, and automotive antifreeze. Additionally, with the rising population especially in emerging countries, the demand for personal and healthcare products is rapidly increasing which is propelling the demand for Ethylene Oxide and is expected to boost the market in upcoming years. Owing to these factors, the Ethylene Oxide market is expected to reach 42 million tonnes in 2032.
Regionally, the Asia Pacific region is dominating the Ethylene Oxide market. This region held a market share of approximately 50% in 2022. Europe is the second largest consumer of Ethylene Oxide followed by North America. With the growing demand for PET bottles, packaging materials, and antifreeze in vehicles, the demand for ethylene glycol (a derivative of ethylene oxide) will most likely rise, which is considered to bolster the demand for ethylene oxide in the forecast period. The requirement for PET resins is projected to increase as the packaging sector expands due to the rising demand for packaged foods and beverages. Rapidly growing demand for Ethylene Oxide from the major end-use industries including personal care, cosmetics, food and beverages, textile, and others is likely to boost the Ethylene Oxide market in the Asia Pacific region.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Ethylene Oxide market is segregated into Ethylene Glycol, Surface Active Agent, Ethanolamines, and Others. The Ethylene Glycol industry is the major end-use and consumed roughly 70% of the net ethylene oxide market in 2022. In the production of ethylene glycol (antifreeze), fibers, detergents, polyurethane foam, solvents, medications, adhesives, and other goods, ethylene oxide is mostly employed as a chemical intermediate. Additionally, Ethylene oxide is used as a sterilizing agent and a pesticide in smaller quantities.
Major players in the production of Global Ethylene Oxide are Sinopec, BASF, Shell, Dow Chemical, Ningbo Henyuan, Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd., Reliance Industries Limited, SINOPEC SABIC (TIANJIN) Petrochemical Company Limited, Maruzen Petrochemical Co., Ltd., PTT Global Chemical, Saudi Kayan Petrochemical Company, Nizhnekamskneftekhim, Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited, Sasol Limited, and Others.
