Glycerol is colorless, odorless,
viscous, and non-toxic alcohol. It is most commonly known as glycerin. It is
generally obtained from plant and animal sources. It is a material of
outstanding utility with many areas of application such as food, chemical, pharmaceutical,
and cosmetic industries. It is mainly used in the production of value-added
chemical products. The valuable emollient and demulcent properties of glycerol
makes it an important ingredient in innumerable pharmaceutical and cosmetic
preparations.
Glycerol finds application among
a broad diversity of end uses. The growing demand for glycerol from the end-use
industries is the primary factor for the growth of the glycerol market. The
chemical industry uses glycerol in the manufacture of antifreeze and sealing
compounds. Glycerol is used in the pharmaceutical industry to extract and
prevent inert materials from precipitating upon standing. It is used as a
moistening agent for baked goods and is also added to candies and icings to
prevent crystallization. Glycerol is used as a solvent for food colors and
carriers for extracts and flavoring agents.
The growing demand for cosmetic
products containing glycerin owing to the growing awareness about its several
beauty benefits boosts the growth of the glycerol market. It is widely used in
a variety of personal care products, including toothpaste, hair conditioner,
cosmetics, and moisturizers. Glycerol provides smoothness in lotions, creams,
and toothpaste. Furthermore, the increasing demand for environment-friendly
products and favorable government regulations contribute to the growth of the
glycerol market. However, the availability of alternatives such as ceramides,
diethylene glycol, and sorbitol among others and deficit in the availability of
raw materials due to the demand from other industries hampers the growth of the
glycerol market. Moreover, the use of glycerol as a sweetener in foods marketed
to diabetics, low-carb dieters’ change in food habits of people, and escalation
in the incidences of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes has fueled the growth
of glycerol market. Additionally, the surge in the production of biofuels
generates fruitful opportunities for the growth of the glycerol market.

glycerol market due to the large-scale consumption of glycerol as a raw
material from several end-users such as food and pharmaceutical industries boost
the market growth in this region. The Asia Pacific is set to grow with a
significant rate in the glycerol market owing to the increasing
industrialization and growth of the chemical sector in this region.
