Japan Diethylene Glycol (DEG) Market Trends:

Growing vehicle manufacturing

Rising vehicle production is driving the demand for diethylene glycol (DEG). As reported by the Japan Automobile Dealers Association and the Japan Light Motor Vehicle and Motorcycle Association, vehicle sales reached 4,575,705 units in 2024, reflecting a 1.0% increase from 2023. DEG is utilized in producing engine coolants and antifreeze mixtures, which are crucial for vehicle efficiency and engine safeguarding. With Japan maintaining its high level of vehicle manufacturing for local sales and export, the demand for these fluids is increasing. DEG assists in regulating engine temperature, particularly in high-performance and hybrid cars, which are increasingly prevalent. Additionally, DEG is employed in the manufacturing of unsaturated polyester resins and plasticizers that are found in various automotive components, such as interiors, seals, and panels. It also acts as a solvent in paints and coatings, contributing to high-quality finishes on vehicles. With the rise in electric vehicle (EV) production, DEG remains important in managing thermal systems and ensuring the reliability of battery cooling technologies. Japan’s focus on producing efficient and high-quality automobiles is encouraging the continuous utilization of DEG in multiple automotive applications.
