E-Series Glycol Ether Market Definition
Alkyl ethers of propylene or ethylene glycol serve as the foundation for the family of solvents known as glycol ethers. Ethylene oxide is the raw material for e-series glycol ether, therefore the name. Mono, di, and tri-ethylene glycol ethers are possible upon attachment of repeating units of the ethylene oxide group's e-series.
E-Series Glycol Ether Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers
The demand for the e-series glycol ether is booming in the cosmetic and personal care business for various uses in skin care, hair care, body care, and other areas. The global need for colour cosmetics, rising hygiene and beauty trends, and changing lifestyles are all contributing to the success of the cosmetic and personal care industry. For instance, the International Trade Administration estimates that Thailand's beauty and personal care industry will generate US$4.2 billion in revenues in 2021 and will expand at a rate of 5.5 percent through 2025. The largest share of this industry is made up of 42 percent of skincare, 12 percent of dental care, 14 percent of soaps and hygiene products, and 15 percent of hair care. The demand for e-series glycol ether is increasing as a result of the growth of the cosmetics and personal care industry, which is driving the market for this substance and creating significant growth opportunities.
In the pharmaceutical business, the e-series glycol ethers, such as ethylene glycol propyl ether (EGPE), ethylene glycol butyl ether (EGBE), and others, are in high demand for use in medications, laxatives, ointments, eye drops, and other products. Due to new medical diseases, the creation of new medications, and improvements in the infrastructure of the medical system, the pharmaceutical sector is expanding quickly. For instance, the pharmaceuticals industry in India was valued at US$42 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach US$120-US130 billion by 2030, according to the India Brand Equity Federation (IBEF). Applications of e-series glycol ether in creams, medicines, and other treatments are expanding as pharmaceutical output and expansion increase. Therefore, the industry for e-series glycol ether is being driven by and promising significant growth due to the flourishing demand from medicines.
Furthermore, growing ether usage in various industries, adoption of ether for the production of medicine extraction in the pharma industry, and increasing product demand due to their solvent strength, low volatility, and other properties are some of the factors that will likely to boost the growth of the e-series glycol ether market in the forecast period.
Opportunities
Furthermore, the advances by the manufacturers and significant investments in research and development activities which further enhance product applications, extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2025 to 2032. Additionally, the rising awareness about the benefits of e-series glycol ether will further expand the future growth of the e-series glycol ether market.
Restraints/Challenges
The ethylene glycol e-series ethers are poisonous and negatively affect human health and the environment. Toxic gases are released into the atmosphere by low molecular weight ethylene glycol ethers such ethylene glycol ethyl ether (EGEE) or ethyl cellosolve and ethylene glycol methyl ether (EGME). This will further create lesser adoption for the growth of the e-series glycol ether market.
There are various organizations that have enacted a number of limitations and laws to limit the use of such dangerous glycol ethers. In addition, the European Union and Canada have implemented laws prohibiting the use of e-series glycol ethers in consumer goods. For instance, REACH's Annex XVII places restrictions on the harmful materials that can be found in consumer goods, such as different glycol ethers. As a result of these limitations, the market is faced with a dilemma as the demand for and applications of e-series glycol ethers are significantly impacted and slowed down. Therefore, these restrictions pose a challenge for the e-series glycol ether market growth rate.
