Food Grade Glycerin Market

Organic Trends Boosts Profile

Organic food grade glycerin is acquiring significant traction, attributed to heightened awareness about the benefits of consuming naturally derived products. Until 2019, over two-fifths consumers in Western Europe admitted that organic food products are much healthier, representing an increase from the earlier 31% in 2017.

Consequently, glycerin derived from vegetable oils is acquiring surging popularity. Vegetable glycerin is also considered an effective alternative to table sugar as it possesses comparatively lesser calories. Furthermore, kosher and halal-grade glycerin are also garnering significant popularity. Such trends are helping shape the future of organic food grade glycerin.

Biodiesel Glycerin Gains Traction

Nearly 70% of global crude glycerin is derived from biodiesel industries. More than 75 countries today have a biodiesel glycerin production mandate. Indonesia, for instance, has a B30 mandate, meaning 30% of their diesel fuel must be bio-based. Such trends also tie in with the global sustainability agenda.

For every 100 pounds of biodiesel produced, nearly 10 pounds of crude glycerol is created. This high volume of biodiesel production is expected to provide significant boost to the food grade glycerin market.

APAC Countries Complementing Growth

Markets in East & South Asia are expected to emerge as the most lucrative ones, attributed to proliferating healthcare, personal care, food & beverages and pharmaceutical industries. Amongst all countries, China is expected to pivot future growth, attributed to the expansion of glycerin-to-epichlorohydrin production.

India is likely to be the 2^nd most lucrative market, attributed to heightened usage in cosmetics and personal care products. Favourable business environments supported by inexpensive labor and raw material costs are attracting plenty of food grade glycerin manufacturers across the Asia-Pacific region.
