The major factor driving the global market for TEG includes the growth of the global natural gas market and the growing demand for plasticizers in end use industries. Its increasing application as a solvent is also acting as a major factor driving the global market for TEG. However, volatility in raw material prices and regulatory issues associated with the production and use of TEG are expected to have a negative impact on the growth of the global market.

The growing demand of natural gas in the Asia Pacific region creates immense opportunities for major TEG manufacturers as natural gas dehydration represents the largest application of TEG and thus growth of natural gas in Asia Pacific will induce the TEG market in the region to grow.
Natural gas dehydration accounted for approximately 58.6% of the global TEG demand in 2011. Along with being the biggest market, it is also the fastest growing application market for TEG at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2013 to 2018. Other applications capture smaller amounts of market and are expected to remain stagnant till 2018. Some of the other application segments for TEG include solvents, plasticizers, polyurethane, humectants and polyester resins.
