Growth Factors in the Ethylene Carbonate Industry:
With the high demand for lithium-ion batteries in the fast-growing transport and energy storage markets, ethylene carbonate is an important solvent in the electrolyte of these batteries as it is known for good conductivity and thermal stability. The production of EV batteries is high in China and in the other leading countries, such as Germany and the US. The major battery producers, such as CATL, LG Energy Solution and Panasonic, are securing raw materials, including ethylene carbonate. As the transition towards electric vehicles and electrical grid storage continues, high-purity ethylene carbonate emerges as a central commodity in the ecosystem of the energy transition.
Industries are beginning to use ethylene carbonate as a biodegradable and low-toxicity solvent in order to decrease the environmental impact of such products as paint and coating solvents, plasticizers, and others for which ethylene carbonate possesses solvent power with a low environmental burden. Governments in North America and Europe are supporting replacement of conventional solvents with environmentally preferable alternatives through regulation and industry subsidies. Specialty chemical manufacturers are expanding production capacity for bio-based ethylene carbonate. When sustainable production becomes established, ethylene carbonate will find applications as a key component of the green chemistry toolbox in several industries.
Due to its high viscosity, and high thermal and chemical stability, ethylene carbonate is used as a high-performance lubricant in automobiles and other industrial machinery. Newer emulsifiers and additives such as ethylene carbonate have been developed in order to adapt to the more demanding conditions frequently required of vehicles and industrial machines. Growing manufacturing and automotive sectors in countries like India and Brazil, and the technical developments and R&D highlights on platforms like LinkedIn and at industry trade shows are also pointing to a shift towards higher-performance lubricants. This results in a near-constant demand for ethylene carbonate in the OEM lubricant and aftermarket.
Key Trends in the Ethylene Carbonate Market:
The battery industry uses most of the ethylene carbonate produced. Battery-grade ethylene carbonate production is increasing. Manufacturers are investing in developing and manufacturing high-purity forms with less water, as the performance of lithium-ion batteries can be greatly improved. Asia-Pacific is forecast to dominate those expansions, with some from South Korea and China, and chemical industry publications routinely note technical collaboration between chemical manufacturers and battery OEMs. This trend also offers a more stable supply chain for the EV and storage battery industries, where battery-grade EC is critical to the energy value chain.
There is a growing use of ethylene carbonate as a non-VOC substitute solvent in wood coatings, industrial coatings and corrosion resistant coatings. Global manufacturers of coatings are increasingly using waterborne and solvent-free coating systems. Ethylene carbonate can provide for this performance without regulatory complications in North America and Europe; it is encouraged by green building codes and indoor air quality codes because of its excellent performance. The use of ethylene carbonate in new coating products has been mentioned as a trend in industry conferences and in blogs for sustainability, which is likely to continue as environmental standards increase.
Outside these markets, ethylene carbonate is used as a formulation aid in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, where it acts as a solubilizer, reaction medium, and stabilizer for active ingredients. The pharmaceutical industry is considering its use for drug delivery. It is used by the agrochemical industry for crop protection formulations, and approvals and pilot projects are increasingly reported through R&D platforms. This diversification strategy is expanding the addressable ethylene carbonate market and reducing the volatility of this revenue source, which is mostly driven by battery applications.
We explore the factors propelling the ethylene carbonate market growth, including technological advancements, consumer behaviors, and regulatory changes.
