Registering a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period, the market value of Glycerol is expected to reach US$ 2630 million in the year 2027.
Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a technically versatile chemical due to the combination of physical and chemical properties.Glycerol is mostly generated from biodiesel, thereby making it a renewable and clean-burning fuel which can be used for industrial purposes. It is a key ingredient in production resins and gums which are used to make modern protective coatings including exterior house paints and automotive enamels, thus driving glycerol market demand.In addition, exceptional compatibility with several chemicals and easy handling are playing a key role in many industrial applications. So, the versatility in applications is increasing demand for refined glycerine in food production, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, personal & home care, and other specialty applications with other oleochemicals such as fatty alcohols and fatty acids and esters. To tap such potential opportunities, key players operating in the regional market are investing in establishing new plants and in increasing their production capacity. For instance, in August 2020, Bojagro SA, a part of Bahia Energia Group, established a production plant in Ramallo, Argentina, with an investment of around US$ 15 million. The new plant will produce the technical and USP grades of glycerol.Rapid urbanization, along with industrialization, has increased the need for alternative bio-based fuels such as bio-diesel. Limited fossil fuel reserves encouraged the need for fuels from renewable feedstock. Biodiesel is obtained from natural resources such as animal fats & vegetable oils and proved itself as an eco-friendly option to fossil fuels. It is obtained as the by-product of the biodiesel manufacturing process.
IOI Corporation Berhad announced in October 2021 that it would build a new 110,000 metric tonne (MT) per year oleochemical plant in Prai, Penang, with a capital investment of MYR 220 million. The new plant will primarily produce palm and palm kernel-derived fatty acids and glycerine, which are the primary raw materials for personal care and cosmetic products. The plant is expected to be finished in the second quarter of 2022.

In 2020, Asia Pacific dominated the glycerol market, accounting for 36.0 % of total revenue. In the coming years, the region is expected to have the highest CAGR. This is due to changing lifestyle patterns, increased consumption of convenience foods, and an increase in the number of working women in the region. Glycerol prices in the Asia Pacific more than tripled in the first half of 2021 due to high demand from end-use industries and constrained production due to a shortage of key feedstock chemicals. Due to a lack of feedstock, the volume of glycerin produced in Indonesia has been reduced.
