The Propylene Carbonate Market size is expected to register a CAGR of 5.57% to reach USD 752.3 Million by 2030.
Propylene carbonate is an organic compound obtained from propylene. It is used as a polar, aprotic solvent in paints & coatings and cosmetic & personal care products. Propylene carbonate is also used to remove carbon dioxide from natural gas and volatile organic compound (VOC) from paints & coatings.
Market Dynamics
The growth of the global propylene carbonate market is mainly driven by the increasing use of lithium-ion batteries in different types of electric vehicles such as electric buses, trucks, bikes, and passenger vehicles, due to the superior properties of lithium-ion batteries such as higher lightweight and energy density compared to nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries. The expanding automotive industry with increased production of electric vehicles to reduce the carbon emissions is driving the demand for lithium-ion batteries and thus, propylene carbonate.
The increasing application of propylene carbonate in paint and coatings as an organic solvent led by rising consumption in the building and construction industry as one of the primary application areas is also projected to propel the growth of the global market.
It dissolves with other substances and is an organic chemical which is positively influencing its application in natural-based beauty products. The growing demand for organic beauty products is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the producers of propylene carbonate.
However, the fluctuating raw materials prices may hamper the market growth.
