The global Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) Market continues to demonstrate robust expansion, with its valuation reaching USD 27.06 billion in 2023. According to the latest industry analysis, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5%, reaching approximately USD 45.10 billion by 2030. This growth is primarily driven by rising demand from polyester fiber production and ethylene oxide derivatives, with Asia’s textile boom and packaging sector transformations fueling the market momentum.
Monoethylene glycol serves as the backbone for PET resin manufacturing and antifreeze formulations, with its thermal stability and solvent properties making it indispensable across industries. As sustainability concerns rise, manufacturers are investing in bio-based MEG production methods and closed-loop recycling systems, though technical challenges remain in achieving large-scale viability.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific commands over 65% of global MEG consumption, with China alone accounting for nearly half of worldwide demand. The region’s dominance stems from its massive polyester fiber industry and concentration of petrochemical hubs in Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Taiwan. China’s self-sufficiency push has led to significant capacity additions, though regional trade flows remain complex due to anti-dumping measures.
North America’s market is characterized by shale gas advantages and advanced production technologies, while Europe focuses on sustainability with increasing rPET mandates. The Middle East leverages low-cost ethane feedstocks to maintain export dominance, though recent expansions in China are reshaping traditional trade patterns.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market is propelled by polyester fiber’s growing apparel applications, PET bottle recycling initiatives, and ethylene oxide derivatives demand in automotive and construction sectors. The textiles industry accounts for approximately 52% of global MEG consumption, followed by PET packaging at 35% and antifreeze at 8%. Emerging applications in marine biofuels and biodegradable plastics present novel growth avenues.
Strategic opportunities exist in bio-MEG commercialization, with Braskem and India Glycols leading pilot projects. The pharmaceutical sector’s growing need for high-purity MEG and textile recycling infrastructure development in Southeast Asia offer additional expansion pathways for market players.
Challenges & Restraints
The MEG market faces headwinds from volatile ethylene prices, environmental concerns regarding glycol emissions, and trade policy uncertainties. China’s anti-dumping duties on U.S. and Middle Eastern imports have disrupted supply chains, while Europe’s REACH regulations impose additional compliance costs. The industry also grapples with the technical limitations of current recycling technologies in maintaining MEG purity standards.
