DUBLIN, May 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Propylene Glycol Market - Global Forecast to 2021" report to their offering.

The global propylene glycol market was valued at USD 3.47 Billion in 2016, and is projected to reach USD 4.60 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2016 to 2021

Growing automotive industry in Asia-Pacific and eco-friendly production process of bio-based propylene glycol are expected drive the market during the forecast period.

The major factors restraining the growth of the global propylene glycol market is maturity of petroleum-based propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is a petrochemical that does not differ in grades or specifications between manufacturers (except industrial and USP). Industrial grade propylene glycol is used as a feedstock to manufacture other chemicals; hence it acts as a base feed with little modification at the time of application.

This gives manufacturers very little scope for product differentiation.
