According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Pharmaceutical Grade Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) market size was valued at US$ 928 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD million by 2032 with a CAGR of % during review period.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a polyether compound with many applications from industrial manufacturing to medicine. PEG also known as polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyoxyethylene (POE), depending on its molecular weight. The structure of PEG is commonly expressed as H−(O−CH2−CH2)n−OH, n indicating the average number of oxyethylene groups. In this report, we mainly focus on the application of PEG with molecular mass within 10,000 g/mol in the pharmaceutical field.
The global Pharmaceutical Grade Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) market is experiencing steady growth, driven by its widespread application in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and personal care industries. PEG is valued for its versatility, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity, making it an essential component in a variety of drug formulations.
1. Growth in the Biopharmaceutical Sector
PEGylation: PEG is widely used in biopharmaceuticals through a process known as PEGylation, where PEG chains are attached to therapeutic molecules like proteins or peptides to enhance their stability, reduce immunogenicity, and extend their half-life. With the increasing development of biologics and biosimilars, the demand for PEG in these applications is rising.
Monoclonal Antibodies and Proteins: The growing use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and therapeutic proteins in treating chronic diseases like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and genetic conditions is driving demand for PEG, which helps improve the pharmacokinetics of these drugs.
2. Increasing Application in Drug Delivery Systems
Oral, Injectable, and Topical Formulations: PEG is commonly used in various drug delivery systems, including oral, injectable, and topical formulations. Its solubility and ability to improve drug bioavailability make it a preferred excipient in many pharmaceutical products. The rising demand for innovative drug delivery systems is boosting the PEG market.
Controlled and Sustained Release Formulations: PEG is also used in controlled-release formulations to enhance drug stability and modulate the release of active ingredients. As the pharmaceutical industry focuses on developing long-acting formulations, the role of PEG in these systems is expanding.
4. Expansion in the Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharmaceutical Excipients: PEG serves as an important excipient in a wide range of pharmaceutical formulations, including tablets, capsules, and ointments. Its role in improving drug solubility and absorption is critical, particularly for poorly soluble drugs. The continued growth of the pharmaceutical industry, driven by an aging population and the rise in chronic diseases, is contributing to increased demand for pharmaceutical-grade PEG.
Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications: PEG is commonly used in laxatives and stool softeners. With the increase in the prevalence of gastrointestinal issues and other digestive disorders, particularly in developed markets, the demand for PEG-based OTC medications is growing.
5. Growing Focus on Sustainable and Bio-Based PEG
Sustainability Initiatives: There is an increasing trend toward using bio-based PEG derived from renewable resources due to growing environmental concerns and regulations. Manufacturers are focusing on developing eco-friendly, sustainable alternatives to traditional petrochemical-based PEG, which is expected to gain traction in the pharmaceutical and personal care industries.
Regulatory Compliance: With the tightening of environmental and safety regulations in several regions, the focus on green chemistry and sustainable production methods is becoming more important. Companies investing in the production of bio-based or biodegradable PEG will benefit from this shift.
