簡介目錄

預計到2034年，全球環氧乙烷（EO）市場規模將達到330億至430億美元，預測期內年複合成長率約為2.8%。該成長主要源於環氧乙烷（EO）作為乙二醇、聚乙二醇、聚醚多元醇、乙氧基化物和乙二醇醚生產過程中的中間體發揮著非常重要的作用，使其成為各行各業使用的關鍵化學品。

環氧乙烷（EO）是一種無色、高活性的有機化合物，由乙烯在銀催化劑作用下與氧氣氧化而生成。它是合成乙二醇的重要前體，廣泛用於生產聚酯纖維、防凍劑和其他工業產品。

環氧乙烷（EO）產能分析

預計2024年全球環氧乙烷（EO）產能約38,500千噸，亞太地區將持續佔最大佔有率。中國仍是全球主要市場，受其實現自給自足、減少進口依賴的戰略目標的推動，產能擴張動力強勁。西歐和北美製造商調整產能，以應對全球供應環境的變化。

主要製造商

環氧乙烷（EO）市場的主要企業包括Dow Chemical、BASF、Shell、SABIC、Indorama、Huntsman、Reliance Petrochemicals、Indian Glycols Ltd、INEOS以及其他當地製造商。這些公司持續投資於技術改進和產能擴張，以滿足日益成長的全球需求。

考慮當地需求

預計到2024年，全球環氧乙烷（EO）需求將超過33,000千噸，其中亞太地區將佔總消費量的50%以上。環氧乙烷（EO）衍生物在乙二醇、表面活性劑和各種化學品生產中的日益成長的使用支撐了這一需求。中國乙二醇及相關產品產能的擴張和產量的上升仍然是推動全球需求成長的主要因素。新興經濟體快速的都市化和基礎建設，以及建築、汽車、紡織和醫療產業的擴張，也是重要的成長要素。

貿易概況

德國仍然是環氧乙烷（EO）的主要出口國，超過 50%的出口到義大利和比利時。近年來，德國平均每年出口量維持在 14.5萬噸左右。預計在預測期內，德國仍將是 EO 的淨出口國，且沒有大規模產能持有計畫。德國主要的EO 製造商包括BASF、INEOS Oxide、Clariant、Sasol，到2024年，這些公司的總合裝置容量將超過 107萬噸。

德國仍將是最大的進口國，2024年進口量約9.5萬噸，其次是義大利（8.3萬噸）和比利時（7.5萬噸）。其他歐洲國家的進口量將減少，大多數國家每年進口量不到2萬噸。

環氧乙烷（EO）市場動態

促進因素：擴大工業用途

環氧乙烷（EO）的需求源自於其作為乙二醇生產原料的作用，而乙二醇廣泛用於聚酯纖維和防凍劑。其多功能性也支援表面活性劑和各種化學品的生產，這些化學品對紡織、汽車和醫療等行業非常重要。預計這些終端用途領域的擴張將繼續推動市場成長。

限制因素：原料依賴與環境問題

環氧乙烷（EO）的生產依賴於石化原料，尤其是乙烯。供應鏈中斷、價格波動以及影響乙烯供應的地緣政治問題都可能對市場造成影響。此外，生產過程排放揮發性有機化合物（VOC），引發環境和健康問題。更嚴格的排放法規和日益增強的環保意識將導致合規成本上升，這可能會抑制預測期內的市場成長。

簡介目錄

The global Ethylene Oxide market size is estimated to grow from USD 33 billion to USD 43 billion by 2034, with a projected CAGR of around 2.8% over the forecast period. This growth is largely driven by Ethylene Oxide's critical role as an intermediate in producing ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polyether polyols, ethoxylates, and glycol ethers key chemicals used across diverse industries.

Ethylene Oxide is a colorless and highly reactive organic compound manufactured by the oxidation of ethylene with oxygen in the presence of a silver catalyst. It is a vital precursor in synthesizing ethylene glycol, which is extensively used in making polyester fibers, antifreeze, and other industrial products.

Ethylene Oxide Capacity Analysis

Global Ethylene Oxide production capacity was estimated at around 38,500 kilo tons in 2024, with the Asia Pacific region continuing to hold the largest share of capacity. China remains the leading country driving capacity expansions, motivated by its strategic goal to achieve self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on imports. Manufacturers in Western Europe and North America are adjusting their capacities in response to these changes in the global supply landscape.

Key Manufacturers

Leading companies in the Ethylene Oxide market include Dow Chemical, BASF, Shell, SABIC, Indorama, Huntsman, Reliance Petrochemicals, Indian Glycols Ltd, INEOS, and other regional producers. These players continue to invest in technological upgrades and capacity expansions to address rising global demand.

Regional Demand Insights

In 2024, global Ethylene Oxide demand is projected to cross 33,000 kilo tons, with Asia Pacific accounting for more than 50% of total consumption. The increasing use of Ethylene Oxide derivatives in producing ethylene glycol, surfactants, and various chemicals supports this demand. China's expanding capacity and growing production of ethylene glycol and related products remain major factors driving global demand. Rapid urbanization and infrastructure growth in developing economies, coupled with expanding construction, automotive, textile, and healthcare industries, are also key growth contributors.

Trade Overview

Germany continues to be a major Ethylene Oxide exporter, with more than 50% of its exports going to Italy and Belgium. Over recent years, Germany has maintained average annual exports of around 145 kilo tons. It is estimated to remain a net exporter of Ethylene Oxide through the forecast period, with no major new capacity additions planned. Major Ethylene Oxide producers in Germany include BASF, INEOS Oxide, Clariant, and Sasol, collectively holding installed capacity exceeding 1,070 kilo tons as of 2024.

Germany also remains the leading importer, bringing in about 95 kilo tons in 2024, followed by Italy with 83 kilo tons and Belgium with 75 kilo tons. Other European countries import smaller quantities, typically under 20 kilo tons annually.

Ethylene Oxide Market Dynamics

Driver: Expanding Industrial Applications

Ethylene Oxide's role as a raw material in ethylene glycol production, widely used in polyester fibers and antifreeze, drives its demand. Its versatility also supports production of surfactants and various chemicals critical to industries such as textiles, automotive, and healthcare. These expanding end-use sectors are estimated to continue fueling market growth.

Restraint: Feedstock Dependence and Environmental Concerns

Ethylene Oxide production depends on petrochemical feedstocks, particularly ethylene. Supply chain disruptions, price volatility, or geopolitical issues affecting ethylene availability could impact the market. Additionally, the production process emits volatile organic compounds (VOCs), raising environmental and health concerns. Stricter emission regulations and increased environmental awareness may lead to higher compliance costs, potentially restraining market growth during the forecast period.

Recent Developments in the Ethylene Oxide Market

In late 2023, INEOS acquired LyondellBasell's Ethylene Oxide & Derivatives facility in Bayport, Texas, for $700 million. This acquisition includes a 420-kilo tons Ethylene Oxide plant, a 375-kilo ton Ethylene Glycols plant, and a 165-kilo tons Glycol Ethers plant.
In early 2024, BASF announced a $500 million investment to expand its Antwerp facility, boosting Ethylene Oxide production capacity by 400 kilo tons annually through the construction of a new world-scale EO plant and enhanced derivative production.
