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
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.
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.

Global market has been segmented based on technology, application, and region.
The Global and Japan Mono Ethylene Glycol Market is segmented by technology into Naphtha-based, Coal-and natural gas-based, Bio-based, and Technology Providers. The naphtha-based segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. 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.
The Global and Japan Mono Ethylene Glycol Market is segmented by application into Fiber, PET, Film, Antifreeze & Coolant, and Others. Fiber is MEG’s greatest application due to MEG's use in the manufacture of PET and polyester fibers. Polyester fiber accounts for around half of the total consumption of fibers, globally. It is commonly used in the clothing and apparel industry, in the manufacture of garments, home furniture, carpets and rugs, fiber filling, and non-woven fabrics. The rising automotive and building & design industries are contributing to the growth of the staple fiber market for polyester. Huge opportunity in the textile industry for the application of polyester leads to growth in the MEG market.

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.
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. The region's packaging industry is the largest in the world and is further expected to multiply due to increased disposable expenditure per capita and increasing demand for hygienic packaging in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Also, the expansion of the region's automotive industry is expected to further propel regional demand growth. In the upcoming years, the automotive industry in the economies of India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Thailand is projected to be the main MEG consumers in the regional market.
The region in Japan segment can be further divided into four major types including Eastern Japan, Northern Japan, Western Japan, and Southern Japan.
