Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Global Polyglycerol Market
The global Polyglycerol market size is projected to reach US$ 4.15 billion by 2026, from US$ 2.47 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 9% during 2021-2026.This growth is attributed to increasing demand for additives in the food industry and rapid expansion of the application sectors, such as personal care and pharmaceuticals. Polyglycerol and its esters find applications as thickeners, solubilizers, additives, inert ingredients, and spreading agents.

On the other hand, the global market may witness slow growth due to the fluctuating costs of raw material. The supply-demand gap is often a key reason behind this fluctuation. Other than polyglycerol, glycerol is used in many products, such as alkyd resins, polyether polyols, and epichlorohydrin. Thus, high demand for glycerol in various applications is likely to create a supply-demand gap affecting its prices.
