| Report Name | India Ethylene Glycol Market |
| Forecast period | 2026-2032 |
| CAGR | 4.5% |
| Growing Sector | Textile industry |
India ethylene glycol market witnessed a boom in recent years on account of growing demand from the industrial sector, the country has emerged as the second main consumption hub with its built-up second-largest downstream polyester capacities. Owing to varied applications across industries such as the automobile industry, textile industry, and paint industry the demand for mono ethylene glycol (MEG) has fuelled at a faster rate as compared to the overall market. The increase in the demand for decomposable MEG and the fluctuating price of crude oil could dampen the growth prospects of the ethylene glycol market in India.
According to 6Wresearch internal database and industry insights, the India Ethylene Glycol Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period (2026-2032). Polyethene glycol helps in increasing the shelf life as well as stability of dental products, owing to which the demand for polyethene glycol is expected to increase in the medical and healthcare sector over the forecast period. Additionally, the Government of India has come up with initiatives to lift anti-dumping duty on polyester, which would support MSME industries to produce more domestically and in turn would further create abundant opportunities for the ethylene glycol market in India.
By Application, Polyethylene Terephthalate, or PET, is the largest consumer of MEG, accounting for a significant share in the domestic market. The textile and pesticide industries are other major consumers of MEG in the country and they are expected to witness strong growth in the coming years. Further, MEG is also used in applications that require chemical intermediates for resins, solvent couplers, freezing point depressors, solvents, humectants, and chemical intermediates.
The India ethylene glycol market report thoroughly covers the market by product types, and applications. India ethylene glycol market outlook report provides an unbiased and detailed analysis of the ongoing India ethylene glycol market trends, opportunities/high growth areas, and market drivers which would help the stakeholders to devise and align their market strategies according to the current and future market dynamics.
India ethylene glycol market is expected to witness potential growth in the upcoming six years on the back of the rising textile industry across the country. Further, increased manufacturing for polyester fiber with respect to the rising demand for home essential products such as carpets and pillows and leather dye facilities across the globe has led to the enhancement of government efforts in rising export trade process intended to encourage foreign direct investment which is leading to the massive expansion of the textile sector and is expected to be a potential driver for the extensive growth of India ethylene glycol market in the coming years.
