Surface active agents is the second-largest application of PAGs and is also expected to witness a significant growth rate. The growing automotive industry, improved standard of living, and shifting customer preference towards processed food in emerging economies are the main factors driving the growth of this market.
The PAGs market is classified on the basis of type: polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polypropylene glycol (PPG). The PAGs market is dominated by polyethylene glycol because of its high performance and environment friendly properties. PEG is also the fastest-growing application during the forecast period. It is most commonly used in the lubricants application.
Currently, Asia-Pacific is the largest market for PAGs, closely followed by North America. It is also the fastest-growing market for PAGs due to high demand from China, India, and Japan, which are the major market for PAGs. The growing automotive industry and the emerging industrial sector in this region is expected to drive the growth of the PAGs market.
Asia-Pacific and North America are the most active markets in terms of strategic initiatives undertaken.
