Global Ethylene Oxide Market to Grow at a CAGR of 4.4% During 2024-2032, Driven by the Rising Demand from End Use Sectors

Manufacturers of ethylene glycols, namely, mono-, di-, and tri-ethylene glycol are significant consumers of ethylene oxide. Other major end uses of ethylene oxide include higher-value derivatives, like ethoxylates, ethanolamines, polyethylene glycol, polyether polyols, and glycol ethers. Ethylene oxide is widely adopted by the healthcare sector to sterilise devices and equipment to protect patients from infectious diseases, favouring the ethylene oxide market growth. Ethylene oxide sterilisation is a viable, effective, and efficient mode of sterilising equipment that would otherwise be destroyed and rendered unusable.

Ethylene oxide derivatives are also widely adopted in the manufacturing of semiconductors. The demand for ethylene oxide in semiconductor production is expected to increase in the United States of America owing to the enactment of the CHIPS Act which was signed into law in August 2022.

Moreover, the compound is widely adopted in the processing of crops. The rising demand for food security drives ethylene oxide demand in the agricultural sector. Besides, demulsifers based on ethylene oxide are deployed to enhance the separation of oil from water. The extracted oil finds use for cooking, animal feed supply, or made into biodiesel.

Ethylene oxide also finds use in the production of industrial starches from agricultural materials for adhesive and binding applications and paper making. Some of the major players in the ethylene oxide market are Dow Inc., Shell plc, China Petroleum & Chemical Corp, BASF SE, and Huntsman International LLC (NYSE: HUN), among others.
