.

U.S. Glycerol Market Size, By Application, 2017 & 2024, (Kilo Tons)

 

Glycerol is mainly generated from biodiesel, thereby making it a renewable and clean-burning fuel which can be used for industrial purposes. It is a key ingredient in production resins and gums which are used to make modern protective coatings including exterior house paints and automotive enamels, thus driving glycerol market demand.
 

Glycerol products are widely used in personal care products owing to its property of acting as humectants and solvents. Personal care products market is likely to surpass USD 650 billion by 2024. It acts as an effective moisturizer in cosmetic products and makes skin absorb water from air reducing dry and dull patches. Humectants help in retaining water in the skin which minimizes water loss due to evaporation and maintains water balance on an intercellular level, keeps skin well hydrated and nourished. These factors are likely to stimulate glycerol market growth by 2024.
 

Glycerol was formulized as an anti-freeze agent for automotive applications before it was replaced with ethylene glycol due to a lower freezing point. The least freezing point of the product when mixed with water is high as compared to ethylene glycol, however it is not toxic in nature, which has led to re-examination for it to be used for automotive applications will drive product demand.
 

The product is widely used in the motion picture industry while filming scenes which involves water to stop parts from drying out quickly. It can also be used as replacement to water in ultrasonic testing owing to its higher acoustic impedance of 2.42MRayl, along with being relatively safe, non-corrosive, non-toxic, and comparatively low cost. These factors are anticipated to fuel glycerol market size by 2024.
 

However, the cost-competitiveness pertaining to increasing price trends in vegetable oil and fatty alcohols which are major source of the product may act as a major restraint for the market. Additionally, high raw materials costs owing to increasing demand from food and pharmaceuticals applications are likely to impact glycerol market price trends, thereby affecting industry profitability. Extensive product research has led to development of novel products with enhanced reactive properties in order to make them eco-friendly is estimated to drive the market size in anticipated timeline.
