North America Glycerol Market Growth & Trends:
The North America glycerol market size is expected to reach USD 1.94 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 5.0% from 2023 to 2033, as per the new report by Grand View Research, Inc.. The growth is majorly driven by its increasing application in numerous industries, such as personal care, pharmaceuticals, and food & beverages, thereby leading to a significant rise in its demand in North America. In the personal care & cosmetics industry, glycerol is widely utilized in skin care products, shaving creams, hair care products, soaps, water-based personal lubricants, etc. It is also increasingly being used in cosmetics owing to the growing awareness among customers regarding personal health and hygiene.
Moreover, the product is also widely used as a flavoring agent in beverages and as a softening agent in confectionaries in the food & beverages industry. It is used as an artificial sweetener owing to the presence of high-calorie content. The U.S. FDA has approved the use of the product as a caloric macronutrient. Favorable government regulations in North America, coupled with flourishing end-use industries, are expected to augment the demand for glycerol in the region over the forecast period. C3H8O3 is an environment-friendly product as it is derived from natural sources, such as animal fats and plant oils. In addition, the product has lower toxicity than its substitutes (such as diethylene glycol, ceramides, and propylene glycols) and organic solvents (such as C6H14) owing to its high LD50.
The higher the LD50 dose, the less toxic the chemical developed, and vice-versa. The non-toxic nature of the product makes it preferable for use in the food & beverages industry. The market is highly competitive, with companies engaged in expanding their production capacity along with enhancing regional presence. Companies are also adopting strategies, such as partnerships and acquisitions, to gain a competitive edge in the market. For instance, in February 2023, KLK OLEO entered into an agreement to acquire Italy-based Temix Oleo. This acquisition is expected to help KLK Oleo strengthen its oleochemicals division, which includes the production of glycerin
