Glycerin (C3H8O3), also known as glycerol, is a clear, colorless, and odorless organic compound derived from vegetable oils or animal fats. It is produced through various processes, such as saponification, hydrolysis, and transesterification of triglycerides. It is widely used in skincare products, cosmetics, candies, liqueurs, medications, pharmaceuticals, and printing ink. Glycerin is also used as a sweetener, preservative, solvent, antifreeze, and lubricant. It exhibits antimicrobial, antiviral, and moisturizing properties that aid in treating burns, accelerate wound healing, hydrate skin, and relieve dryness. As a result, it finds extensive applications across various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and beverage (F&B), personal care, and chemicals.

Glycerin is a viscous, non-toxic, and hygroscopic liquid with a sweet taste and excellent water solubility. It has a melting point of 17.8 °C, a high boiling point of 290 °, and a density of 1.26 grams per milliliter at room temperature. Glycerin is hygroscopic and non-toxic. It is miscible with water and alcohol and insoluble in chloroform, ether, and in volatile oils.

One of the key factors driving the glycerin market is the rising product utilization in the personal care and cosmetics industries. Glycerin is widely used as a denaturant, fragrance ingredient, humectant, hair conditioning agent, oral care agent, and skin protectant in various products, such as lotions, moisturizers, toners, conditioners, toothpaste, mouthwash, and soaps. Moreover, the increasing product application as a substitute for alcohol in botanical and herbal tincture preparation is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Besides this, the growing inclination toward the utilization of natural ingredients, such as glycerin in cosmetics, as they are eco-friendly and water-soluble, is propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the widespread product utilization to produce energy bars, cake icings, chewing gums, fudge, soft candies, creams, fondants, and marshmallows, as it helps to retain moisture, prevent sugar crystallization, and add smoothness, softness, and texture, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Other factors, including significant growth in the F&B industry and rising product utilization in the pharmaceutical industry as a thickener, excipient, and sweetener in cough syrups, and ointments, are supporting the market growth.
