Polytetramethylene Ether Glycol Market Size

The global polytetramethylene ether glycol market size was valued at USD 2.7 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 8.1% from 2025 to 2034. Polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) serves as a high-value raw material, playing a pivotal role in the production of diverse thermoplastic urethane elastomers, such as polyurethanes, polyesters, and polyamide elastomers.

 

Thanks to its remarkable flexibility, durability, and resistance to wear, PTMEG is indispensable in spandex fiber production. This spandex fiber finds extensive use in baby diapers, hosiery, sportswear, and medical bandages. The rising consumer demand for comfort and performance in apparel fuels the spandex demand. Beyond apparel, PTMEG finds applications in sectors like home furnishings, medical devices, and automotive textiles, all of which increasingly seek high-performance materials. With industries emphasizing product performance and versatility, PTMEG is poised to play a crucial role in the expansion of these applications, significantly driving market growth during the forecast period.
