Reports
The global Glycerin market reached a value of about USD 3.15 billion in 2021. The industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 3.2% in the forecast period of 2022-2027 to reach a value of about USD 3.76 billion by 2027.
The global Glycerin industry report gives a comprehensive analysis of the industry, including key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, the competitive landscape, and other essential market aspects. The wide range of uses of the product is driving the market growth. China is the highest category spender by region that is driving the demand for the Glycerin industry.
Glycerin, or glycerol, is a simple polyol natural chemical made from plant or animal fats. It's a colourless, odourless, viscous liquid with a pleasant flavour that's also non-toxic. The Glycerin industry report comprises segments by source (biodiesel, fatty acids, fatty alcohol, saponification and synthetic), application (pharmaceuticals and personal care, epichlorohydrin, food and beverage, tobacco humectants, and alkyd resin) and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East, and Africa).
China holds the largest share in the industry as it is one of its major glycerin users. Cosmetics and personal care are one of the country's fastest-growing industries. The Chinese cosmetics and personal care market have foreseen good development across many industries, including makeup, skincare, haircare, personal hygiene, perfumes, etc. China is also the world's second-largest and fastest-growing pharmaceutical market furthering the market's expansion.
The market is being driven by applying the product in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, personal care, and cosmetics. It is owing to the properties of the product. Because of its increased use in hand sanitisers, soaps, handwash, and detergents, glycerin demand has surged for end-user sectors like pharmaceutical and personal care, propelling the industry forward. Furthermore, it is used to offer smoothness and lubrication in a variety of personal care and cosmetics items, including toothpaste, soaps, shaving creams, skin, etc., boosting the market sales. Glycerin generated from vegetable oils is likely to profit from the increased demand for natural ingredients across end-use sectors such as food & beverages, thus resulting in the industry's development.
However, the adverse effects of pharmaceutical glycerin, such as diarrhoea, polyuria, nausea, dry mouth, and others, are hampering the market expansion.

Glycerol may be made from propane in a variety of ways. The most significant is the epichlorohydrin method, which requires chlorinating propylene to produce allyl chloride, which is then oxidised with hypochlorite to produce dichlorohydrins, which react with a solid base for produce epichlorohydrin. Glycerol is made once the epichlorohydrin is degraded. The glycerol production from acrolein and propylene oxide are examples of chlorine-free propylene processes.
The growing prominence of the product is propelling the industry as a platform chemical that is projected to broaden the range of applications in this market. Increased biodiesel production has resulted in an ample supply of crude glycerin, which may be used directly in animal feeds as a dust suppressant to keep coal from freezing and store grains. Because of the overstock and accompanying price drop, glycerin may now be used to generate electricity increasing its demand. The market is expected to rise due to the rising use of glycerin in treating high eye pressure diseases such as glaucoma and during eye surgery and as a replacement for alcohol in the manufacturing of herbal and botanical tinctures augmenting the industry. Also, ongoing R&D initiatives in pharmaceutical glycerin are expected to open up new market prospects.
The regional markets for the industry can be divided into North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
The industry for the product is highly concentrated, with the top firms controlling the majority of the market. The market is fiercely competitive, with many small companies. Various businesses dominate the glycerin industry based on their key strengths. Over the years, the most common tactics have been expansion and mergers and acquisitions.
