Propylene glycol (PG) is a clear, odorless, and slightly viscous liquid with the chemical formula C₃H₈O₂. It is a clear, odorless, and colorless liquid with a slightly sweet taste. It belongs to the group of organic compounds known as glycols and is derived from propylene oxide, which is produced from propylene, a byproduct of petroleum refining. Propylene glycol is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water, and it is soluble in both water and alcohol. Acording to the new market research report "Propylene Glycol Industry by Source (Petroleum-based, Bio-based), Grade (Industrial, Pharmaceutical), End-use Industry (Transportation, Building & Construction, Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics & Personal Care), Region - Global Forecast to 2024", published by MarketsandMarkets™, the Propylene Glycol Market is projected to reach USD 4.7 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 4.4% from USD 3.8 billion in 2019. The eco-friendly production process of bio-based propylene glycol has led to the growth of the global propylene glycol market. The growing automotive industry in APAC is also driving the market as propylene glycols are widely used in engine coolants and sheet molding compounds, among others.

Propylene glycol has a wide range of applications across various industries due to its unique properties:

• Food and Beverage: PG is used as a food additive and ingredient in various products such as baked goods, confectionery, ice cream, and beverages. It acts as a humectant, solvent, and flavor carrier. 
• Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics: PG is widely used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as a solvent, preservative, and moisturizing agent in products such as creams, lotions, ointments, and oral medications. 
• Personal Care Products: It is found in a variety of personal care products, including soaps, shampoos, deodorants, and toothpaste, where it functions as a moisturizer and humectant. 
• Industrial Applications: PG is used as a coolant, heat transfer fluid, and antifreeze agent in industrial processes and systems. It is also employed as a solvent in the production of resins, inks, paints, and coatings. 
• E-Cigarettes and Vaping: PG is a common ingredient in e-liquids used in electronic cigarettes and vaping devices, where it acts as a solvent and provides the sensation of a throat hit. 
• Animal Feed and Pet Food: It is used as a carrier for flavorings and additives in animal feed and pet food products.

Bio-based propylene glycol to register the highest CAGR in the global propylene glycol market, between 2019 and 2024"

The global propylene glycol market is segmented by source, into petroleum-based and bio-based propylene glycol. The market for bio-based propylene glycol is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2019 to 2024. This is because the production of propylene glycol from the bio-based source has less impact on the environment. In addition, increasing demand from the pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and cosmetics applications is also driving the growth of the bio-based propylene glycol market.
