Note: The analysis can be tailored to align with the customer's specific needs.
China - Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) at 1097 USD/MT (September 2025)
Polyethylene glycol prices in China reached 1097 USD/MT in September 2025. A modest increase emerged as demand improved in personal care and pharmaceutical-grade applications. Domestic production stayed strong, supported by steady feedstock imports. However, higher logistics, port congestion, and regulatory compliance requirements for high-purity grades contributed to additional cost pressures across the quarter.
Belgium - Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) at 1232 USD/MT (September 2025)
In Belgium, polyethylene glycol prices climbed to 1232 USD/MT in September 2025. Stable demand from personal care and pharmaceutical industries supported the market. Elevated energy bills, EU compliance requirements, and rising production overheads contributed to higher costs. Strong transportation and intra-European logistics expenses further pushed producers to pass through incremental price increases.
Saudi Arabia - Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) at 968 USD/MT (September 2025)
Saudi Arabia recorded polyethylene glycol prices of 968 USD/MT in September 2025. Prices moved lower as regional demand weakened, particularly in industrial and construction-linked polymer derivatives. Feedstock advantages helped local producers maintain competitiveness. Although logistics and port-handling costs increased, they were insufficient to counterbalance the overall demand softness affecting market sentiment.
Germany - Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) at 1226 USD/MT (September 2025)
Polyethylene glycol prices in Germany fell to 1226 USD/MT in September 2025. Softer demand from automotive coatings and industrial polymer sectors weighed on procurement. High energy and regulatory compliance costs persisted, but producers limited price hikes. Rising logistics and customs expenses for high-purity grades added pressure, though market competition restricted further upward adjustments.
What is Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)?
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) is a polyether compound produced through the polymerization of ethylene oxide. It is available in various molecular weights, making it highly versatile for industrial, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical applications. PEG is widely used as a solvent, humectant, plasticizer, dispersant, and surface-active agent across multiple sectors.
Factors Affecting Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) Supply and Prices
1. Feedstock Availability (Ethylene Oxide & Ethylene)
PEG production relies heavily on ethylene oxide derived from ethylene. Any fluctuations in crude oil or natural gas markets impact feedstock pricing, directly influencing PEG production costs.
2. Energy and Utility Costs
PEG manufacturing is energy intensive. Higher electricity, steam, and fuel costs-especially in Europe and Asia-push up production expenses, affecting final market prices.
3. Transportation & Logistics Challenges
Freight congestion, container shortages, and port delays can disrupt trade flows. Logistics issues significantly influence PEG pricing, particularly for high-purity grades used in pharmaceuticals.
4. Regulatory Compliance Costs
Environmental, safety, and purity regulations (EU REACH, FDA standards) increase operational costs. High-purity PEG grades for medical applications are more affected due to stringent quality controls.
5. Demand from Downstream Sectors
Strong consumption in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, lubricants, and polymer processing increases market tightness and supports higher prices. Weaker industrial demand can ease price pressures.
6. Global Trade & Currency Movements
Export competitiveness depends on currency stability. Fluctuations in the euro, USD, and CNY influence landed costs, imported feedstock expenses, and regional PEG pricing.
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) Price Index 2025
The PEG price index in 2025 shows moderate volatility, driven by:
• Stabilizing raw material markets
• Variations in pharmaceutical and personal-care demand
• Higher energy costs in Europe
• Competitive supply conditions in Asia
Latest PEG Market News 2025
• Europe: High energy costs elevated PEG production expenses, keeping prices relatively firm.
• Asia: Recovery in cosmetic and pharmaceutical manufacturing supported demand for medium- and high-purity PEG grades.
• Middle East: Feedstock cost advantages allowed producers to remain competitive despite global fluctuations.
• North America: Imported feedstocks and currency shifts influenced landed costs, creating periodic adjustments in Q3 2025.
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) Market Trend 2025
The trend in 2025 indicates:
• Stable-to-soft demand in industrial applications such as lubricants and coatings
• Strengthening demand from pharmaceuticals and personal care for PEG 400, PEG 600, and PEG 3350
• Tightening supply for high-purity pharmaceutical and cosmetic grades
• Stable production levels across key manufacturing hubs
• Moderate price movements across most regions, with Europe seeing the largest upward pressure
Future & Current Demand for PEG in 2025
Current Demand (2025)
Current demand remains strong across:
• Pharmaceuticals: Laxatives, drug formulations, topical medicines
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Creams, lotions, shampoos, toothpaste
• Industrial Applications: Lubricants, coolants, plasticizers, and surfactants
• Chemical Processing: Resin manufacturing, dispersants, and stabilizers
Future Demand Outlook
The future outlook for PEG is positive due to:
• Growing healthcare investments driving high-purity PEG consumption
• Expanding personal-care and beauty sectors in Asia
• Rising demand for PEG-based lubricants and coolants in manufacturing
• Increasing research into PEGylated biologic drugs and specialty formulations
Uses of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)
PEG is widely used across industries due to its solubility, compatibility, and non-toxicity:
• Pharmaceuticals: Tablets, ointments, suppositories, drug delivery systems
• Personal Care: Moisturizers, cleansers, toothpaste, shampoos
• Industrial: Lubricants, anti-foam agents, plasticizers, coolants
• Chemical Processing: Additives, dispersants, stabilizers
