简介目录

2025年，日本丙二醇市场规模达2.7628亿美元。预计到2034年，该市场规模将达到3.8685亿美元，2026年至2034年的复合年增长率（CAGR）为3.81%。推动该市场成长的成长要素包括：在永续性倡议的推动下，生物基丙二醇的应用日益广泛；医药和个人护理领域的应用不断扩大；以及政府主导的绿色转型策略下的脱碳措施。此外，交通运输业对防冻液和功能性流体的需求不断增长，以及日本力争在2050年实现碳中和的目标，也促进了日本丙二醇市场份额的扩大。

日本丙二醇市场趋势：

在永续性倡议的推动下，生物基丙二醇的应用日益广泛。

日本丙二醇市场的成长得益于各产业加速向生物基替代品的转型，这主要是为了因应日益严格的环境法规和企业永续发展措施。日本製造商越来越重视源自甘油、玉米和甘蔗的生物可回收和可再生原料，以减少对石油基生产的依赖并降低碳足迹。这项转变与日本在2050年实现碳中和的国家目标及其绿色转型策略相契合，该策略强调工业领域的脱碳。生物基丙二醇既满足了消费者和监管机构对永续化学解决方案日益增长的需求，也具备可比较的性能特征。 2024年，KBR与住友化学签署合作协议，宣布KBR成为住友化学先进环氧丙烷异丙苯（POC）技术的独家授权合作伙伴。环氧丙烷是一种主要用于聚氨酯生产的中间体。聚氨酯广泛应用于各种产品，包括发泡体、涂料、黏合剂和密封剂，从而推动了建筑、工业和汽车等行业的成长。丙二醇（尤其是聚丙二醇：PPG）是聚氨酯生产的关键组分，它透过与二异氰酸酯的反应生成聚氨酯。

拓展医药与个人护理应用

在日本，受健康意识增强、人口老化以及消费品优质化趋势的推动，製药和个人护理行业是丙二醇快速增长的终端应用领域。药用级丙二醇作为重要的溶剂、载体和防腐剂，确保口服、外用和注射药物的最佳递送和储存稳定性。日本製药公司依赖符合厚生劳动省及其他相关机构严格监管标准的高纯度USP/药用级丙二醇。 2025年，厚生劳动省宣布设立一项为期10年的政府基金，用于支持创新药物的研发，这反映了日本致力于提升依赖丙二醇等辅料的製药生产能力的决心。同样，在化妆品和个人护理领域，丙二醇被用作护肤、护髮和口腔护肤产品的保湿剂、润肤剂和稳定剂，以改善产品的保湿性、质地和功效。日本成熟的美容及个人护理市场，以消费者对产品品质和创新的高期望为特征，持续推动高品质丙二醇的需求。人口老化导致药品需求不断增长，加上可支配收入的增加带动了高端个人保健产品的消费，为向这些领域供应丙二醇的生产商创造了持续的增长机会。

政府主导的脱碳努力与绿色转型策略

日本雄心勃勃的政策框架旨在2050年实现碳中和，这正在从根本上改变化学工业的格局，并加速对永续生产技术的投资。政府的《绿色转型促进策略》明确将重点放在能源密集型产业的脱碳上，包括石化产品及其衍生（如丙二醇），并计划在未来十年内投入20兆日圆的公共和私人投资。透过GX联盟（自愿性排放交易计画）和化学工业转型融资技术蓝图等倡议，日本政府鼓励企业采用更清洁的生产工艺，向再生能源来源转型，并开发碳中和的替代技术。 2024年11月，旭化成、三井化学和三菱化学宣布，将共同进行一项关于日本西部一家乙烯生产设施的原料和燃料转化可行性研究，以推进碳中和。这项联合倡议旨在实现上游石化生产（丙二醇和其他衍生的来源）的脱碳。政府发行气候转型债券，体现了其对产业脱碳工作的强而有力的製度支持。这些政策措施鼓励丙二醇生产商加速绿色化学领域的研发，引进碳捕获与利用技术，并建立循环经济模式，进而改变竞争格局，为永续化工产品创造新的市场机会。

The Japan propylene glycol market size reached USD 276.28 Million in 2025 . The market is projected to reach USD 386.85 Million by 2034 , exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.81% during 2026-2034 . The market is driven by the growing adoption of bio-based propylene glycol driven by sustainability initiatives, the expansion of pharmaceutical and personal care applications, and government-led decarbonization efforts through the Green Transformation strategy. Additionally, increasing demand from the transportation sector for antifreeze and functional fluids, coupled with Japan's commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, is expanding the Japan propylene glycol market share.

JAPAN PROPYLENE GLYCOL MARKET TRENDS:

Growing Adoption of Bio-Based Propylene Glycol Driven by Sustainability Initiatives

The Japan propylene glycol market growth is supported by the accelerating shift toward bio-based alternatives as industries respond to stringent environmental regulations and corporate sustainability commitments. Japanese manufacturers are increasingly prioritizing bio-circular and renewable feedstocks derived from glycerin, corn, and sugarcane to reduce dependence on petroleum-based production and lower carbon footprints. This transition aligns with Japan's national carbon neutrality target for 2050 and the Green Transformation strategy, which emphasizes decarbonization across industrial sectors. Bio-based propylene glycol offers comparable performance characteristics to conventional variants while addressing growing consumer and regulatory demand for sustainable chemical solutions. In 2024, KBR and Sumitomo Chemical declared that they have entered into an alliance agreement, appointing KBR as the exclusive licensing partner for Sumitomo Chemical's advanced propylene oxide by cumene (POC) technology. Propylene oxide serves as an intermediate compound mainly utilized in the subsequent production of polyurethanes. Polyurethane is utilized in various items like foams, coatings, adhesives, and sealants that support expanding sectors such as construction, industrial, and automotive. Propylene glycol, particularly as polypropylene glycol (PPG), is an essential component employed in the production of polyurethanes through its reaction with diisocyanates.

Expansion of Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Applications

The pharmaceutical and personal care industries represent rapidly growing end-use segments for propylene glycol in Japan, driven by rising health consciousness, aging demographics, and premiumization trends in consumer products. Pharmaceutical-grade propylene glycol serves as an essential solvent, carrier, and preservative in oral, topical, and injectable medications, ensuring optimal drug delivery and shelf stability. Japanese pharmaceutical manufacturers rely on high-purity USP/Pharma grade propylene glycol that meets stringent regulatory standards set by authorities including the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. In 2025, the Japan Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare announced a new 10-year government fund to support innovative drug development, demonstrating the country's commitment to advancing pharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities that rely on excipients like propylene glycol. Similarly, the cosmetics and personal care sector utilizes propylene glycol as a humectant, emollient, and stabilizer in skin care, hair care, and oral hygiene formulations, where it enhances moisture retention, texture, and product efficacy. Japan's sophisticated beauty and personal care market, characterized by high consumer expectations for product quality and innovation, continues to drive demand for premium-grade propylene glycol. The convergence of an aging population requiring more pharmaceutical interventions and rising disposable incomes supporting luxury personal care expenditures creates sustained growth opportunities for propylene glycol suppliers serving these sectors.

Government-led Decarbonization Efforts and Green Transformation Strategy

Japan's ambitious policy framework for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 is fundamentally reshaping the chemical industry landscape and accelerating investments in sustainable production technologies. The government's Green Transformation promotion strategy, backed by 20 trillion yen in public-private investment over the next decade, explicitly targets decarbonization of energy-intensive industrial sectors including petrochemicals and derivatives such as propylene glycol. Through initiatives like the GX League voluntary emissions trading scheme and the Technology Roadmap for Transition Finance in the chemical sector, Japanese authorities are incentivizing companies to adopt cleaner production processes, transition to renewable energy sources, and develop carbon-neutral alternatives. In November 2024, Asahi Kasei, Mitsui Chemicals, and Mitsubishi Chemical announced a joint feasibility study on feedstock and fuel conversion at their ethylene production facilities in western Japan to advance carbon neutrality. This collaborative initiative aims to decarbonize upstream petrochemical production, which is the starting point for propylene glycol and other derivatives. The government's issuance of Climate Transition Bonds signals strong institutional support for industrial decarbonization efforts. These policy measures are compelling propylene glycol manufacturers to accelerate R&D in green chemistry, implement carbon capture and utilization technologies, and establish circular economy models, thereby transforming competitive dynamics and creating new market opportunities for sustainable chemical products.
