세계의 탄산 알킬렌 시장 수요, 예측 분석(2018-2034년)

The global alkylene carbonate market has witnessed strong growth in recent years, driven by the increasing demand across a variety of end use industries such as textiles, personal care & cosmetics, agriculture, industrial chemicals, and paints & coatings. Alkylene carbonates, including ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, and glycerin carbonate, serve as key intermediates and solvents due to their excellent chemical and physical properties, such as high boiling points, low toxicity, and biodegradability. This makes them suitable for use in both industrial processes and consumer products, further broadening their application base and market potential.

Demand by Type/Application

Among the various types of alkylene carbonates, ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate lead the market both in volume and value. Ethylene carbonate is widely used in lithium-ion battery electrolytes, industrial lubricants, and as a plasticizer in polymer production. On the other hand, propylene carbonate is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products, serving as an effective solvent and viscosity modifier. Glycerin carbonate, although relatively new, is gaining traction due to its sustainable and bio-based origin, appealing to environmentally conscious industries. In terms of applications, the cosmetics and personal care segment holds a substantial share due to the rising demand for safer and effective formulation ingredients. The industrial chemicals segment also represents a significant portion of the market, driven by its use as a solvent, intermediate, and additive in various formulations.

Regional Demand Analysis

Regionally, Asia-Pacific accounts for the largest share of the global alkylene carbonate market, led by strong industrial growth in China, India, and Southeast Asia. The region benefits from increasing demand in automotive, personal care, and manufacturing sectors, as well as the availability of raw materials and labor. North America and Europe follow, with robust demand driven by advanced technological applications in automotive lubricants, coatings, and environmentally friendly formulations. The growth in Europe is particularly underpinned by regulatory shifts favoring sustainable and low-emission chemical products. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are emerging markets, gradually adopting alkylene carbonates in agricultural and textile sectors.

Key Manufacturers

Key companies operating in the global alkylene carbonate market include BASF, Huntsman, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Qingdao Shinda Chemical Co., Ltd., and Tongling Jintai Chemical Industrial Co. Ltd. These companies are actively investing in research and development to innovate cleaner and more efficient production methods. Partnerships, capacity expansions, and strategic acquisitions remain common strategies to gain competitive advantages and cater to the growing demand in emerging economies. Companies like BASF and Mitsubishi Chemical are also emphasizing bio-based alternatives, anticipating the global shift toward sustainable chemical solutions.

Market Driver

A key driver for the alkylene carbonate market is the growing demand from the personal care & cosmetics end use industry. With rising consumer preference for non-toxic, skin-friendly, and environmentally safe ingredients, alkylene carbonates serve as ideal solvents and emulsifiers in product formulations. Their low irritation potential and high compatibility with active ingredients make them popular among formulators and manufacturers. The trend toward natural and organic personal care products further reinforces the demand for glycerin carbonate, providing additional momentum to market expansion.
