Triethylene Glycol (TEG) Market is forecast to reach $850.63 billion by 2025, after growing at a CAGR of 4.1% during 2020-2025. With rise in the consumption of solvent in various end use applications and increasing natural gas extraction activities, the triethylene glycol market is witnessing an increase in the demand. Further, growing demand of oil and gas in various industries including transportation and power generation will enhance the overall market demand for triethylene glycol during the forecast period of 2020-2025. The report covers Triethylene Glycol (TEG) market size by application, Triethylene Glycol market share by top 5 companies and also the market share by start-ups during the forecast period.
Report Coverage
The report: “Triethylene Glycol Market – Forecast (2020-2025)”, by IndustryARC, covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments of the Triethylene Glycol Market.
Key Takeaways
- Asia-Pacific dominates the triethylene glycol market owing to increasing government incentives for natural gas exploration projects, particularly in China and India.
- Growing demand of natural gas from various end used industries, is likely to aid in the market growth of triethylene glycol. As it is used as a dehydrating agent for natural gas pipelines where it removes the water from the gas before being condensed and reused in the system.
- A substantial growth of the chemical industry will have a positive impact on the overall demand of triethyele glycol as it is used as chemical intermediate in unsaturated polyester resin, polyester polyols for polyurethanes, thermoplastic polyurethanes, and silicone compounds.
- Triethylene glycol has similar properties to other glycols and can be preferentially used in applications that require a higher boiling point, higher molecular weight, or lower volatility than diethylene glycol.
Application - Segment Analysis
Natural gas dehydration application segment has been the primary market for triethylene glycol for many years and is expected to grow with a CAGR of 4.5% over the forecast period from 2020-2025. Natural gas demand has grown remarkably in 2018, increasing by 4.6%, its highest growth rate since the beginning of the decade. The future growth of natural gas will register above average growth due to majorly economic expansion in emerging markets of APAC region especially China and India and continued policy support to tackle air pollution in the People's Republic of China. With strong growth in liquefied natural gas export capacity, international trade will play an increasing role in the development of natural gas markets as they move further towards globalization. All these factors are contributing in major demand of triethylene glycol coming from natural gas applications.
For natural gas dehydration, triethylene glycol is a better performer than diethylene glycol. Gas dehydration accounts for more than 50% of ovaerall TEG consumption. Apart from using as a dehydrating agent for natural gas, Triethylene glycol is used in solvent and lubricant, plasticizer, a raw material for the production of polyester resins and polyols, humectant, constituent of hydraulic fluids, selective solvent for aromatics, and many more.
Geography - Segment Analysis
APAC dominated the triethylene glycol market with a share of approximately 44%, followed by North America and Europe. The economy of APAC is mainly influenced by the economic dynamics of countries such as China and India, but with growing foreign direct investment for economic development of South East Asia, the current scenario is changing.
The gas demand is expected to be driven by APAC region in the coming years, which is expected to account for approximately 60% of the increase in total consumption by 2024. China will be the main driver of growth in gas demand, though slower than in the recent past as economic growth is slowing, but still accounting for roughly 40% of the increase in total gas demand by 2024. In China's case, coal-to-gas conversion and residential uses play a major role in increasing demand, while power generation is the Middle East's main driver. However, nearly half of the global increase in natural gas consumption is expected to account for the industrial sector, covering both process energy and chemical feedstock.

Drivers – Triethylene Glycol Market
- Growing demand for natural gas
Global natural gas demand is set to continue to grow over the forecast period due to strong consumption in fast-growing Asian economies and supported by ongoing international trade in gas. As the China accelerated efforts to reduce local air pollution, gas demand in China increased by nearly 18%. In 2018, the United States led natural gas demand growth, with the switch from coal to gas accounted for almost half of the increase. Weather also had a major impact on the demand gas in US, with a colder than average winter and hotter than average summer driving demand in buildings and power generation. Thus, the growing demand for natural gas especially in power generation, transportation, and industrial sector is favoring market growth of triethylene glycol.
Challenges – Triethylene Glycol Market
- Rising TEG prices
In contrast to diethylene glycol, TEG is not just a by-product of surplus. Producers also deliberately make TEG by adding ethylene oxide to diethylene glycol to meet any demand that exceeds the supply of ethylene glycol from coproduction. Due to which, TEG prices are increasing which may hamper the overall growth of the market in coming years.
