Ethylene Oxide Market Overview:
Ethylene oxide also known as epoxyethane, dimethylene oxide is a colorless liquid formed by the oxidation of ethylene and silver catalyst. It finds many applications in various industries, especially as an intermediate in the formation of ethylene glycol, an important chemical in the formation of polyester and polyethylene terephthalate. Netherlands tops the list of the countries that export ethylene oxide with an export quantity of 150,529 tons followed by Germany with 91,517 tons and United States of America with 28,345 tons. Imports quantity being considered Germany stood in the first place with a total import quantity of 90,668 tons followed by Italy with 86,254 tons and Belgium with 64,687 tons of ethylene oxide being imported.
Ethylene Oxide Market Outlook:
Ethylene Oxide up on hydration at a certain temperature produces ethylene glycol which is an important chemical in the manufacturing of polyester. Ethylene glycol, also used in manufacturing fiberglass is in turn being used in products like bath tubs, balls and many more. Sterilization of ethylene glycol is used to fumigate the medical equipment.
Ethylene Oxide Market Growth drivers:
Consumers has started opting for a better packaged food and beverage products. The increase in the usage of PET bottles is a driver for the increase in ethylene oxide. The increase in the sales of vehicles is also a driver for the ethylene oxide market as it finds its applications in the seat belts and many more.
The increased usage of resins and polyester fibers is also a driver for the ethylene oxide market. The other major driver is the great demand for the household and cosmetics.
Ethylene Oxide Market Challenges:
One of the major challenges is the emissions of carbon-di-oxide content in to the environment due to the oxidation process that is being carried out.
The other challenge is the residue that is left over the instrument when it undergoes the sterilization process. Sterilization chemicals are much poisonous as they attack the protein cells in the microorganisms.
Ethylene oxide is a flammable gas and care must be taken when it is used in the sterilization process.
