India Ethylene Oxide Market Trends:

Rising Demand for Ethylene Glycol in Automotive and Packaging Sectors

The increasing consumption of ethylene glycol, a key derivative of ethylene oxide, is positively impacting the ethylene oxide market outlook. Ethylene glycol is primarily used in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and antifreeze solutions. According to an industry report, the yearly production of automobiles in India in FY23 was 25.9 Million vehicles. The increasing vehicle ownership and expanding automotive sector are driving the demand for engine coolants and antifreeze solutions. Additionally, the rise in food and beverage consumption is pushing up PET bottle production. Furthermore, the Indian packaging industry is also witnessing rapid growth due to rising e-commerce penetration and organized retail expansion. These sectors rely heavily on PET resins for lightweight, durable, and cost-effective packaging solutions. Apart from this, domestic manufacturers are scaling up production to meet this rising demand, and major players are investing in downstream integration for ethylene oxide-to-ethylene glycol conversion. In line with this, the implementation of the favorable government initiative is also pushing localized production, reducing import dependency for key PET raw materials. This trend is expected to sustain demand for ethylene oxide over the long term.

Expansion of Ethylene Oxide Applications in the Indian Healthcare Industry

India's healthcare sector is witnessing strong growth. According to an industry report, the healthcare industry in India is expected to reach USD 638 Billion by 2025, driven by public and private investments, expanding health insurance coverage, and an increasing focus on infection control. Ethylene oxide is a critical sterilizing agent used for heat-sensitive medical devices such as surgical instruments, catheters, and implants. As demand rises for safe and sterile healthcare products, especially after COVID-19, ethylene oxide sterilization is becoming more essential across hospitals, diagnostic centers, and medical device manufacturers. Additionally, India's push to become a global medical device manufacturing hub under its Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme is also increasing domestic capacity for medical equipment, which is providing a boost to India ethylene oxide market growth. Ethylene oxide's effectiveness in killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi without damaging devices makes it irreplaceable in many cases. Furthermore, regulatory bodies such as the CDSCO and BIS are tightening sterilization standards, which is driving investments in EO-based sterilization facilities. As India's surgical procedure volumes increase and disposable medical product usage rises, ethylene oxide demand from the healthcare sector is projected to maintain an upward trajectory.
