Activated Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) Market Analysis & Forecast 2025-2031

Global Activated Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) Market is expected to reach USD 226.72 million by 2031 with CAGR of 3.2 % between 2025 and 2031

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is basically a polyether compound with structural formula H−(O−CH2−CH2)n−OH. It is prepared by the reaction of ethylene oxide and water under pressure in the presence of a catalyst. Polyethylene glycol is available in three different forms depending on molecular weight. These are PEG which is miscible in all other grades of PEG in various proportions. The PEG which are available in liquid form are soluble in acetone, alcohols, benzene, glycerin, and glycols. Solid PEGs are soluble in acetone, dichloromethane, ethanol (95%), and methanol. They are also soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons and ether. But they are insoluble in fats, fixed oils, and mineral oil. PEG is biologically inert, nontoxic, non-immunogenic, hydrophilic (water soluble), highly flexible.  

Due these properties, PEG is useful in many applications such as Pharmaceutical, Medical, commercial, industrial, and biological. PEG is used in tablet formulations to enhance effectiveness of binders and impart plasticity to granules by combining it with another binder. It is used as lubricants. It is used as plasticizer in coating formulations. PEG in solid forms is used to improve ductility of coating and to prevent rupture of the coating. It is also used to improve solubility of drugs with poor solubility by solid dispersion of appropriate polyethylene grade.  

PEG is useful in preparing urethane hydrogels, which are used as controlled-release agents. PEG is also useful in commercial applications such as anti-foaming agent in food, in many skin creams and in toothpastes as a dispersant. Depending on product type, activated polythene glycol market is split into Activated PEGs for Amine PEGylation, Activated PEGs for C-Terminal PEGylation, Activated PEGs for N-terminal PEGylation and Activated PEGs for Thiol PEGylation. Geographically, Global Activated Polythene Glycol (PEG) sale market is segmented into regions North America, Europe, China, Japan, Southeast Asia, India, Africa and Latin America.  

The rapid growth in biotechnology and molecular biology during the last two decades has contributed to a substantial increase in the number of biological products such as proteins, peptides, hormones and enzymes for pharmaceutical applications.
