Glycerol Market

Market Overview:

The global glycerol market exhibited moderate growth during 2015-2020. Glycerol (C₃H₈O₃) is a clear, thick and odorless polyol belonging to the alcohol family of organic compounds. It is synthesized by the hydrolysis of natural oils and fats present in plants and animals. As it is biodegradable, hygroscopic and miscible with water, it is employed in the food and beverage (F&B) industry as a filler, solvent, stabilizer, humectant, plasticizer, emollient, sweetener and softening agent. It is also used to manufacture elixirs, serums, vaccines, suppositories, expectorants, cough syrups, cardiac medications and drug solvents worldwide.

A substantial rise in the consumption of low-fat food products represents one of the major factors escalating the demand for glycerol as a natural additive to flavor and color candies, cookies, shortening and ice cream. Moreover, the factors such as inflating income levels, changing lifestyles and rising socialization trends are driving the demand of alcoholic beverages which in turn, is further driving the glycerol demand specifically in wine production. Apart from this, as it penetrates cell membranes and possesses various cryoprotective properties, it is widely used as a protective medium for freezing red blood cells, sperm cells, eye corneas and other living tissues. It also finds application as a mucolytic agent in medications for respiratory disorders. In line with this, it is given orally to test the symptoms of Meniere's disease and in intravenous (IV) formulation for reducing intraocular pressure. Furthermore, it is gaining traction in the cosmetics and personal care industries for manufacturing soaps, toothpaste, mouthwash and skin lotions. Glycerol usage is anticipated to expand in fabrics, papers, printing inks and paints due to its low volatility. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the global glycerol market to grow at a CAGR of around 5% during the forecast period (2021-2026).
