REPORT DESCRIPTION :
Global Glycerol Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends, Growth And
Forecast, 2012-2018
The growth of the global biodiesel industry in recent years has created a somewhat over
supply of glycerol in the global market. Glycerol is majorly obtained as a byproduct of
biodiesel production via transesterification process. Earlier, glycerol was produced mainly
using synthetic processes but with the evolution of biodiesel industry, synthetic processes
were replaced by transesterification process (production of glycerol via biodiesel) which
resulted in 66.2% of the total glycerol being obtained from the biodiesel industry in 2011.
Glycerol supply from biodiesel process is expected to surge over the next five years owing
to the increasing penetration of biofuels in mainstream applications. Other commercial
sources of glycerol include fatty acids, fatty alcohols and from the soap industry via
saponification process.
This report measures, estimates, analyze and forecasts the global glycerol demand. This
study provides demand estimates and forecast in terms of volumes as well as revenues for
the period from 2011 to 2018. The report showcases various factors which are driving and

restraining the global market and also includes the opportunities which are expected to
drive the market in the near future.
The glycerol market has also been segmented on the basis of various production sources
including biodiesel, fatty acids, fatty alcohols and others. The study also evaluates glycerol
potential as a platform for renewable chemicals including propylene glycol, epichlorohydrin
and 1,3-propranediol.
Key glycerol applications estimated and forecasted in this study include personal care,
pharmaceuticals, alkyd resins, polyether polyols and others. Glycerol demand has also been
analyzed from a regional perspective, providing estimate and forecast for key regional
markets including North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
The research study includes a value chain in order to provide a comprehensive view of
various components prevailing across the glycerol value chain. In order to provide
competitive analysis, the report uses Porter’s Five Forces Analysis for measuring the impact
of suppliers, buyers, competition, new entrants and substitute products on the glycerol
market. The report covers company market share analysis and company profiles of the
major companies operating in the global glycerol market. Some of the companies profiled in
the report include P&G Chemicals, IOI Group, Emery Oleochemicals, Kuala Lumpur Berhad,
Dial Corporation, and Croda, Wilmar International among others.
The report segments the global glycerol market as:
