Ethylene oxide, also known as oxirane, refers to a colorless, synthetic and flammable chemical possessing a sweet odor. It is mostly used as an intermediate in the manufacturing procedures of various industrial chemicals, especially ethylene glycol. It is produced from ethylene, majorly by the process of direct oxidation. Ethylene oxide is widely used in numerous industry verticals for various procedures, such as the production of adhesives, detergents, solvents, anti-freeze, textiles, and pharmaceuticals. In recent years, ethylene oxide has gained momentum due to its significant utilization as a pesticide in smaller quantities.
One of the primary factors driving the market is the rising demand for PET resins and polyester fibers. Additionally, the widespread utilization of the product in seat belts, coated fabrics, and conveyor belt fabrics is creating a positive market outlook. Other than this, the extensive utilization of PET resins to produce bottles and containers in the food and beverage industry (F&B) is positively influencing market growth. Besides this, the rising demand for anti-freeze in the automobile industry to lower the freezing point of water-based liquid in vehicles is boosting the product demand. In addition, there has been an increase in the need for non-ionic surfactants in the market, thereby propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the textile industry widely utilizes ethylene oxide as the derivative used to treat a large variety of synthetic and natural fibers. Apart from this, the increasing usage of medical equipment as sterilizing agents for cleaning medical instruments, especially the ones sensitive to heat, is creating lucrative growth opportunities for the key players. Other than these factors, the sudden outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has significantly augmented the demand for hospital and other medical equipment and instruments, including personal protective equipment (PPE), thereby positively affecting the market growth. Moreover, the rising awareness about the pathogenicity of diseases and the necessity of cleanliness has increased the demand for cleaning products, such as detergents and carpet and floor cleaners, which represents another major growth-inducing factor.
