預計到 2032 年,全球丙二醇醚 (PGE) 市場規模將超過 110 億美元,2024 年至 2032 年期間的複合年成長率為 5.6%。這一成長是由化學製造、工業流程以及油墨和塗料等不同行業不斷成長的需求所推動的。
區域需求分析
亞太地區憑藉著快速的工業化、都市化以及汽車、電子、建築和製藥等終端應用產業的擴張,引領市場發展。中國、印度、日本和韓國等國家是鉑族元素的主要生產國和消費國。人們對水性塗料的偏好日益成長,以及持續的基礎建設,支撐著市場的強勁成長。政府推廣環保產品的措施也推動了鉑族元素作為更安全的溶劑替代品的應用。
在北美,嚴格的環境法規推動了包括鉑族元素在內的低揮發性有機化合物 (VOC) 溶劑的使用,尤其是在油漆、塗料和清洗應用領域,推動了需求成長。該地區發達的汽車、航太和工業製造業是重要的消費領域。研發投入的增加以及對永續化學解決方案的日益關注也促進了市場穩步成長。
主要企業
全球PGE市場的主要企業包括陶氏化學、伊士曼化學、利安德巴塞爾、殼牌、BASF、大賽璐、華倫化工、Dynamic International、江蘇億達、SKC和無錫百川等,他們透過技術創新、產能擴張和策略聯盟競爭。
近期動態
大規模投資和擴張是該產業近期發展的顯著特徵。 2021年,利安德巴塞爾公司與中石化合作,在中國寧波新建了一座鉑族元素工廠。 2024年,韓國Chemtronics公司成功在國內開發出超高純度PGMEA,擺脫了對進口的依賴。該公司計劃投資約1,670萬美元,將其PGMEA產能從1萬噸擴大至2.5萬噸,以滿足日益成長的需求。
關鍵市場促進因素
電子產業的快速發展持續推動丙二醇醚 (PGE) 需求的成長。 PGE 作為溶劑在半導體製造和其他對高純度和高性能至關重要的電子級應用中發揮著至關重要的作用。從智慧型手機、平板電腦到家用電器,消費性電子產品的持續成長,以及全球(尤其是新興市場)可支配收入的不斷成長,進一步刺激了這一需求。
此外,汽車產業也是鉑族元素消耗的主要來源。鉑族元素因其優異的水溶性、快速的揮發速度以及與丙烯酸和聚氨酯等各種樹脂體系的兼容性,被廣泛應用於防護塗料中。這些特性有助於提高工業塗料、建築塗料以及汽車面漆的耐久性、耐腐蝕性和美觀性。
市場限制
環氧丙烷等石油基原物料價格波動會影響鉑族元素的生產成本,進而影響其定價與盈利。健康與環境法規(包括關於環氧乙烷衍生物毒性的《化學品註冊、評估、許可和限制》(REACH) 法規)限制了某些鉑族元素的使用。這些法規和成本壓力對市場成長構成了挑戰。
本報告對全球丙二醇醚 (PGE) 市場進行了深入分析,包括市場動態、行業趨勢、細分需求和製造商概況。
The global Propylene Glycol Ether (PGE) market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2024 to 2032, surpassing USD 11 billion by 2032. This growth is driven by increasing demand across diverse industries including chemical manufacturing, industrial processes, inks, and coatings. PGEs are organic solvents produced by reacting propylene oxide with alcohols. They offer low toxicity, excellent electrolyte solubility, and lower volatility compared to ethylene glycol ethers, making them ideal for household products, paints, coatings, and inks.
Propylene Glycol Ether Applications
The PGE market is segmented by type into Propylene Glycol Mono Methyl Ether (PM), Dipropylene Glycol Mono Methyl Ether (DPM), and Tripropylene Glycol Mono Methyl Ether (TPM). Among these, PM and DPM share similar solvent properties and find widespread use in varnishes, paints, printing inks, and coatings across architectural, automotive, and metal finishing industries. A significant application of PGE is in producing propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (PGMEA), a critical solvent used extensively in the electronics industry for manufacturing cell phones, computers, and semiconductors. PGMEA is favored in semiconductor processes due to its high purity and minimal residue after application, essential for the integrity of electronic devices.
Regional Demand Analysis
Asia Pacific leads the market, driven by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and expanding end-use sectors such as automotive, electronics, construction, and pharmaceuticals and countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea are the major manufacturers and consumers of PGEs. The growing preference for waterborne paints and coatings, along with increasing infrastructure development, supports strong market growth. Government initiatives promoting eco-friendly products also encourage the adoption of PGEs as safer solvent alternatives.
In North America, demand is fueled by strict environmental regulations that promote the use of low-VOC solvents, including PGEs, especially in paints, coatings, and cleaning applications. The region's well-established automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing sectors are key consumers. Increasing investments in research and development and a growing focus on sustainable chemical solutions contribute to steady growth.
Key Players
Leading producers in the global PGE market include Dow, Eastman Chemical Company, LyondellBasell, Shell, BASF, Daicel, Hualun Chemical, Dynamic International, Jiangsu Yida, SKC, and Wuxi Baichuan, competing through innovation, capacity expansion, and strategic partnerships.
Recent Developments
Significant investments and expansions mark recent industry activity. In 2021, LyondellBasell partnered with SINOPEC to build a new PGE plant in Ningbo, China, with a 125-kiloton capacity expected by 2024. In 2024, South Korea's Chemtronics Co. successfully developed ultra-high-purity PGMEA domestically, ending reliance on imports. The company plans to expand PGMEA production capacity from 10 kilo tons to 25 kilo tons, investing approximately USD 16.7 million to meet rising demand.
Key Market Drivers
The rapid expansion of the electronics industry remains a primary catalyst for the growing demand for Propylene Glycol Ethers (PGEs). PGEs play a crucial role as solvents in semiconductor manufacturing and other electronic-grade applications, where high purity and performance are essential. The continuous surge in consumer electronics ranging from smartphones and tablets to home appliances combined with increasing disposable incomes worldwide, especially in emerging markets, further stimulates this demand.
Moreover, the automotive industry is a significant contributor to PGE consumption. PGEs are widely utilized in protective coatings due to their excellent water solubility, quick evaporation rates, and compatibility with a variety of resin systems including acrylics and polyurethanes. These attributes help improve coating durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic quality in automotive finishes, as well as in industrial and architectural coatings.
Market Restraints
Price volatility of petroleum-based raw materials like propylene oxide impacts PGE production costs, affecting pricing and profitability. The health and environmental regulations, including REACH restrictions related to toxicity concerns of ethylene oxide derivatives, limit the use of some PGEs. These regulatory and cost pressures pose challenges to market growth.
