Global Glycerin Market is valued approximately at USD XX million in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than XX% over the forecast period 2020-2027. Glycerin is a popular humectant used in numerous end-use industries, including Personal Care, Pharmaceuticals, Chemical and Manufacturing, among others. Global glycerin manufacturers deliver glycerin either in a crude form or in a refined form, both of which differ in terms of purity. In addition, the availability of glycerin in both the Pharma & Food grade and the Technical grade broadens its range of applications. Rising demand for sustainable fuels in Europe and North America, along with an increasing preference for bio-renewable chemicals, has steadily increased the use of biodiesel. This increase in demand is further attributed to growing concerns about global climate change, stable energy and fluctuating crude oil prices, which are expected to increase the demand for biodiesel, which will increase the demand for glycerin during the forecast period. Furthermore, Glycerin is mainly used in cosmetics and personal care products to improve the smoothness and moisture content of the skin. It is found in facial moisturizer, body lotion, sunscreen, makeup, hair care, facial treatment, shaving cream, etc. It serves as a moisturizing agent that avoids premature moisture loss from cosmetic items and has a cooling impact on the face. Growing awareness of skin challenges, the need to maintain even skin tone, the demand for anti-aging skin cosmetics and the desire to look beautiful and young is driving product sales, allowing deeper penetration and expansion into newer markets.
The regional analysis of global Glycerin market is considered for the key regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America and Rest of the World. The Asian Pacific Glycerin market would see strong growth during the forecast period due to the rising demand for personal care items. Increasing product demand from chemical intermediate manufacturers in the region, along with increasing demand for glycerin as a chemical platform, in particular in China, will boost overall regional demand for glycerin.
