The global Polypropylene Glycol market size was US$ 321 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 233 million by 2031 with a CAGR of -4.5% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Polypropylene glycol or polypropylene oxide is the polymer of propylene glycol. Chemically it is a polyether. The term polypropylene glycol or PPG is reserved for low to medium range molar mass polymer when the nature of the end-group, which is usually a hydroxyl group, still matters. The term "oxide" is used for high molar mass polymer when end-groups no longer affect polymer properties.
KKPC, Mitsui Chemical, BASF, Dow, Huntsman and Shell are the top 6 players of Polypropylene Glycol, with about 48% market shares. The key consumption markets locate at developed countries. Japan takes the market share of 30%, followed by Europe with 26%.
