*Segment Analysis*
The PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) segment will dominate the monoethylene glycol (MEG) market in 2024, largely due to MEG’s superior properties like thermal stability, compatibility, reactivity, transparency, clarity, and barrier capabilities. These make MEG ideal for PET production. MEG reacts with terephthalic acid to develop DMT (Dimethyl Terephthalate), which is polymerized into polyester resin and processed into fibers through wet and melt spinning. MEG’s affordability and eco-friendliness benefit polyester fiber production. In addition, MEG is an important antifreeze component, preventing water from freezing through hydrogen bonding, and important for maintaining unfrozen engine coolant in cold conditions.
