LONDON – The total propylene glycol demand level is growing steadily at the moment being supported largely by the construction, marine and transportation industries revival. Furthermore the expanding end-use markets push the propylene glycol producers towards the application of new-age technologies and up-to-date facilities.
The future of the global propylene glycol market is seen as rather promising. According to various forecasts the developed markets will witness sufficient annual increase rates comparable to the tempo of their GDP growth. Year-on-year 5% rise is awaited on the propylene glycol markets within the emerging economies. Asia is in a position to become the key investment log region with China leading the list of countries with new propylene glycol projects and growing capacities.
New market research study “Propylene Glycol (PG): 2011 World Market Outlook and Forecast up to 2016” is a complete and detailed guide to the market of propylene glycol at a global, regional and country level. It provides an elaborate analytical market review and in-depth market development forecasts.
The study examines the market for its present standing, past background and future trends and provides insightful understanding of major market statistics – propylene glycol production and consumption in the reviewed regions, propylene glycol trade dynamics, and prices for the material. Market forecasts presenting future development directions, trends, opportunities and challenges are reviewed through 2016.
