Northeast Asia: In Northeast Asia, propylene glycol prices rose modestly as demand from food and pharmaceutical industries strengthened. Increased seasonal consumption in cosmetics and personal care added to the upward momentum. While supply conditions remained stable, moderate growth in downstream demand supported the propylene glycol price index. Export orders contributed to additional procurement activity, keeping the regional market balanced but slightly firm in tone.
Europe: In Europe, propylene glycol prices climbed due to higher consumption from automotive and construction industries. Seasonal demand in the food and beverage sector also contributed to firm buying interest. Although feedstock propylene supply was steady, the propylene glycol price index reflected upward momentum from resilient industrial activity and stable end-use consumption. Import competition was limited, further supporting domestic pricing levels.
Middle East: In the Middle East, propylene glycol experienced a notable price increase as industrial demand from chemicals and construction strengthened. Limited supply availability in certain markets contributed to tightening conditions, raising the propylene glycol price index. Growing demand from downstream sectors, including paints, coatings, and automotive, added further momentum to the regional pricing landscape during the quarter.
Southeast Asia: In Southeast Asia, propylene glycol prices declined as weaker demand from industrial and consumer applications weighed on the market. The propylene glycol price index reflected reduced procurement activity, particularly in the food and cosmetics sectors. Stable supply conditions and cautious buying sentiment contributed to the downward trajectory, leaving the market under pressure compared to other regions.
North America: In North America, propylene glycol prices edged upward as downstream demand from pharmaceuticals and personal care products remained strong. Automotive and construction sectors also supported consumption levels. Supply availability was stable, but firm buying activity kept the propylene glycol price index on a modest upward trend. Export interest provided an additional layer of support to regional pricing.

The global propylene glycol industry size reached USD 4.44 Million in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 5.95 Million, at a projected CAGR of 3.14% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the rising demand from pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food industries, coupled with growth in antifreeze and de-icing applications, bio-based production innovations, expanding industrial solvents usage, and increasing global trade activities.
Propylene glycol is a synthetic organic compound of the chemical formula C3H8O2, and it is characterized by its viscous, colorless, and almost odorless properties. It is a diol, or a type of double alcohol, with a singular set of properties like low toxicity, high boiling point, and capability to dissolve in many substances and thus very versatile. Propylene glycol is hygroscopic and has a low freezing point and is an effective de-icing agent and is typically used in antifreeze. The compatibility with both water and many organic solvents makes it very useful for the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic and chemical industries. The stability and non-reactivity of the compound also make it a good solvent and preservative, emphasizing its versatile nature in various areas.
