Poly Propylene Glycol Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Application (Rheology, Leather industry, Mass spectrometry, Laxatives manufacturing, Paintballs manufacturing , Solvent, Skin Care and Cosmetics, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Polypropylene glycol is the polymer of glycol and propylene oxide. It appears as a clear viscous liquid and can be soluble in an organic solvent such as ethyl alcohol, methylbenzene, and trichloroethylene. Additionally, polypropylene glycol is highly used as an anti-static, anti-foaming, or pigment dispersing agent. It offers eco-friendly, biodegradable, and cost-effective properties. The product finds its use in a wide range of applications such as rheology, leather industry, cosmetics, spectrometry, and sports. Also, it is used as an intermediate in esterification, etherification, and polycondensation.

The increasing demand for polypropylene glycol in leather and cosmetics & personal care industries will flourish the market growth. In the cosmetic & personal care industry, polypropylene glycol is used as a softening agent, emollient, and lubrication agent. Thereby aids in preventing the skin dryness and dullness and makes its more soften. Moreover, in the leather industry, the product finds its use as a wetting agent, a surfactant, and a dispersant for leather finishing. The rapid growth in the cosmetic industry coupled with the increasing demand for leather in bags, belts, and clothe applications will contribute to providing healthy growth in the polypropylene glycol market during the forecast timeline.       

However, at toxic levels, propylene glycol causes severe neurological and seizures symptoms. This restricts its utilization in various applications and is anticipated to restrain market growth.
