Trimethylene Glycol Market Analysis
The global trimethylene glycol market size reached US$ 421.88 Million in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 815.64 Million, at a projected CAGR of 7.60% during 2023-2032.
- The textile industry makes use of trimethylene glycol (TMG) to produce polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) fibers. These fibers are extremely robust, elastic, and stain-resistant, which renders them ideal for fabrics and carpets. The change in consumers' preferences toward high-performance and sustainable materials is increasing, which is fueling the need for PTT and, thus TMG. For example, the U.S. textile market is predicted to grow by 2.8 percent between 2024 and 2032, generating the demand for TMG. This compound's versatility when creating textile products that range from apparel to home furnishings is driving the rise of this industry.
- TMG is a major ingredient in the creation of high-performance polyurethanes (PUs), which are used in several applications like foams, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers. In addition, the rapidly growing sectors of the economy that depend on polyurethane (PU) products, like electronics, construction, and automotive, have significantly surged the demand for this compound. For instance, the global auto production reached 85.4 million in 2022, an increase of 5.7% over 2021. This data is constantly increasing, which is creating the need for TMG-based polyurethanes (PUs) for their enhanced flexibility, durability, and resistance to chemicals and temperature fluctuations.
- The personal care and cosmetics industry is witnessing an increase in demand for ingredients that are safe, effective, and generated from renewable resources. TMG is utilized in a variety of personal care products, such as lotions, creams, shampoos, and conditioners, due to its excellent moisturizing characteristics and non-toxic nature. As people become increasingly concerned and aware of the content in their personal care products, the demand for TMG, particularly bio-based TMG, surges. The cosmetics and personal care industry in Europe was valued at €96 billion at retail sales prices in 2023, with Germany at €15.9 billion and France at €13.7 billion. The increased demand for these products has resulted in a significant boost for the TMG market.
- TMG is also utilized in the food and beverage (F&B) sector as a food additive, humectant, and solvent. It improves the texture, shelf life, and stability of different food products. There has been a hike in demand for processed and packaged foods that has fueled the usage of TMG in food compositions. According to industry reports, it has been found that 73 percent of the U.S. food supply is ultra-processed. Also, India's exports of agricultural and processed food products rose close to $51 billion in 2022 and 2023. This surge in demand and consumption of processed food has bolstered the use of TMG in this industry.

Product Description
Trimethylene glycol (TMG), also known as 1,3-propanediol, refers to a versatile organic compound that exists as a colorless, viscous liquid with a slightly sweet taste. It is categorized into two main types based on its production method, such as bio-based and petroleum-based. It is soluble in water, alcohol, and acetone, making it an excellent solvent. It is used in various applications including the production of polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), polyurethanes, cosmetics, cleaning agents, and as a coolant and antifreeze in heating and cooling systems. It is also employed in adhesives, coatings, inks, pharmaceuticals, food additives, and personal care products.
Trimethylene glycol is biodegradable, non-toxic, and reduces dependency on fossil fuels when bio-based. It offers high boiling and low freezing points, excellent moisture absorption, and enhanced product durability. Moreover, it is lauded for its versatility, eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, improved performance of end products, and compatibility with various materials.
