Market Trends of Glyoxal Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Glyoxal Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand for Glyoxal as an Intermediate and Crosslinkers
- Glyoxal has been increasingly used as a chemical intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and dyestuffs. The ability of glyoxal to form heterocyclic compounds makes it suitable for the production of resins and for cross-linking functionalized macromolecules such as cellulose, polyacrylamides, polyvinyl alcohol, keratin, and other polycondensates.
- Owing to its viscosity characteristics, glyoxal also has been used in cosmetics. Cosmetic products use hydroxyl-ethyl cellulose R-types in creams, emulsions, lotions, gels, and oils for skin, face masks, tinted bases, different powders, hair-care products, shaving, and sunbathing products.
- According to Cosmetic Europe, European Cosmetics have generated a revenue of 79.8 billion EUR in the year 2019, where Germany holding a share of 35% accounting for around 14 billion EUR.
- The Asia-pacific textile industry witnessed major growth in recent times. Glyoxal is being used in the textile industry as a crosslinker and fiber treating agent. It can increase the spinning of cotton, nylon and can be used for other anti-wrinkle applications.
- Glyoxal, as an intermediate, is used in the production of different chemicals, such as glyoxylate, imidazole, methyl imidazole, metronidazole, and allantoin. Pharmaceutical industries have been largely using these chemicals to produce drugs, such as pyrazinamide and antibiotics.
- All the aforementioned factors are estimated to boost the consumption of glyoxal in the segment studied during the forecast period.
