Glycidol Market to grow at a CAGR of 5.18% during 2024-2028
The Glycidol Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.18% during 2023 and 2028. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 44.4 million. In the glycidol market, the conventional production methods have been associated with high costs due to the use of petrochemically derived and hazardous materials, along with inefficient and potentially dangerous manufacturing processes. These methods, which include epoxidation of allyl alcohol with hydrogen peroxide or the reaction of epichlorohydrin with a caustic agent, involve toxic feedstocks such as allyl alcohol and hydrocarbon derivatives like propylene. The production of glycidol through these methods results in the generation of toxic byproducts, including hydrochloric acid, which necessitates costly purification steps to prevent environmental contamination. Presently, industry players are actively seeking alternatives to these hazardous and inefficient processes to reduce production costs and enhance sustainability in glycidol manufacturing.
