Global and Japan Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) Market; by Application(Fiber, PET, Film, Antifreeze & Coolant and Others); By Technology (Naphtha-based, Coal-and natural gas-based, Bio-based and Technology Providers); and Region –Analysis of Market Size, Share & Trends for 2016 – 2019 and Forecasts to 2030
Product overview
Monoethylene glycol (MEG) is a non-volatile, colorless, odorless liquid, which is fully soluble in water and other organic solvents. MEG is manufactured industrially from ethylene, which is hydrated by the thermal or catalytic process, through ethylene oxide. Different sources, such as naphtha, synthesis gas, coal, and biomass, are obtained from the ethylene used in the manufacture of MEG, where gas-based technology is primarily used in the industry. Due to its renewability and reduced reliance on naphtha and coal-based sources, MEG’s demand for the biomass-based production process is gaining popularity. MEG is one of the commonly used raw materials for the manufacture of polyester fibers and terephthalate polyethylene (PET) resins.
Market Highlights
Fatpos Global anticipates the Global and Japan Mono Ethylene Glycol Market to surpass USD 41.32 Billion by 2030, which is valued at 25.17 Billion in 2019 at a compound annual growth rate of 4.73%.
The prominent factor driving the global market growth is MEG's rising demand for polyester fiber-making. Polyester fibers are among the most commonly used fibers worldwide, accounting for more than 50 percent of the overall market for fibers. These fibers are used in the manufacture of many textile products, including garments, home furnishings, automotive fabrics, fabrics for tire cords, and nonwoven fabrics. Due to the many advantages provided by fibers over conventional fibers, such as resistance to moisture, grease, stains, and water, as well as high resistance to abrasion and wrinkles, the market for these fibers is increasing.

Health effects associated with MEG usage to hamper the market for MEG in Japan.
MEG is harmful to inhalation, absorption, and touch. The high aerosol concentration can cause respiratory irritation when inhaling MEG. One can suffer from mild eye discomfort followed by tears, pain, or even blurred vision when contacting the eyes. Skin contact may also cause slight irritation to the skin. Cardiopulmonary symptoms such as tachycardia, hypertension, extreme metabolic acidosis, hypoxia, congestive heart failure and syndrome of adult respiratory distress, as well as renal failure, may also be induced. The growth of the MEG market is hindered by these health hazards.
Global and Japan Mono Ethylene Glycol Market: Regions
In terms of value and volume, APAC accounted for XX% of total market volume share in 2019
The largest share of the overall business worldwide was in the APAC region. Due to the rising textile and packaging industries in the regional market, the regional market is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
