[170+ Pages Research Report] Propylene Oxide Market to surpass USD 26.67 billion by 2030 from USD 16.12 billion in 2020 at a CAGR of 5.17% within the coming years, i.e., 2020-30.
Propylene oxide (PO) is a highly reactive organic chemical that is useful as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of various commercial materials. It is a bulk chemical that can be produced through several technologies. Propylene oxide is a crucial raw material. Propylene Glycol Production Material. In recent years, propylene glycol production has seen a significant increase due to its increasing number of uses in a wide variety of end-use industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, and others. Propylene glycol is used as a chemical raw material for the production of unsaturated polyester resins, vaporizers for the supply of pharmaceutical and personal care products, humectants in hand disinfectants, deicing agents in airplanes, and solvents for many substances.
The Propylene Oxide Market is predicted to project a notable CAGR of 5.17% in 2030.
Increased use of polyurethanes in sealants, thermal insulators, and flooring will fuel industry growth over the next seven years. Increased global infrastructure spending is expected to drive demand over the forecast period. In addition to industry growth, Propylene Oxide market penetration is expected to rise above the forecast level. On the other hand, increasing Investment by the major players in new environmentally friendly techniques to produce Propylene Oxide will create more opportunities that will result in the growth of the Propylene Oxide market over the forecast period.

Polyether Polyols segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-2030
The Propylene Oxide Market is segmented by Application into Polyether Polyols and Propylene Glycol. The Polyether Polyols segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 20202 to 2030. The growth in this segment is due to the increasing demand for polyurethane foams from various end-use industries such as automotive, construction and construction, textiles and furniture, and packaging. Polyether polyols are mainly used in polyurethane foams. Applications such as furniture, bedding, and car seats, as well as under the carpet. Rigid foam is widely used in the construction industry, where it is mainly used for insulation. Rigid foam is also used in commercial refrigeration and packaging.
Chlorohydrin segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-2030
The Propylene Oxide Market is segmented by Process into Chlorohydrin, Styrene Monomer, TBA Co-Product, Cumene-based, Hydrogen Peroxide. The Chlorohydrin process has dominated the Propylene Oxide Market for several years. The market segment for hydrogen peroxide processes is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Increasing use of propylene glycol
Propylene glycol is widely used as a construction chemical for paints, grouts, adhesives, caulking materials, and coatings in both infrastructure and the construction industry. Another industry that is booming recently is the automotive industry, which directly benefits the Propylene Oxide as the products are used in a range of components such as flexible foams, paints, adhesives, and sealants. Thus, it can be said that the Propylene Oxide is inextricably linked with the automotive industry.
Increased Demand for Polyurethanes
Polyurethanes are made from polyether polyols and have properties such as density, stiffness, and hardness, which increases their demand in the Propylene Oxide. The increasing consumption of products made from propylene glycol, polyethylene glycols, and propylene glycols should stimulate the propylene oxide market. technological progress and the medical field.
Recently, there have been volatile prices for raw materials and alternatives such as alkylene carbonate to propylene oxide which could potentially curb the free growth of the Propylene Oxide Market and the emergence of low-cost alternatives
Effects of COVID19 in the Propylene Oxide Market
A large number of propylene oxide companies felt the impact of the COVID19 pandemic in multiple dimensions and now emphasize sustained growth in the long-term future as the global oxide industry propylene and other chemicals play an important role in countries' economic recovery Propylene oxide companies are likely to see potential opportunities in the near future.
