Challenges Faced by Biobased Propylene Glycol Market
- Higher Production Costs: Biobased propylene glycol production remains more expensive than its petroleum-based counterpart, which can deter widespread adoption, particularly in cost-sensitive industries.
- Fluctuating Raw Material Prices: The raw material prices, mainly vegetable oils and corn, have a fluctuation pattern as per the agricultural condition, thereby having an effect on the cost structure and stability of the biobased propylene glycol market.
- Limited Production Capacity: The production capacity of biobased propylene glycol still lags far behind that of conventional propylene glycol and may impact the supply and scale.
- Lack of Consumer Awareness: There is still very little awareness of biobased propylene glycol among consumers and businesses despite growing demand for sustainable products, which slows broader market penetration.
- Technological Challenges: Development is still ongoing, and the perfect technology to support large-scale production of biobased propylene glycol with consistency and lower cost has yet to be perfected.
- Competition from Petroleum-Based Alternatives: The large-scale use of petroleum-based propylene glycol, along with its established infrastructure and lower cost, continues to be a major challenge to the growth of biobased alternatives.
