MEG
Demand for MEG in India grew around 5.2% a year from 2017-18 to 2025-26, led by the fast-growing PET and packaging industry, and should grow steadily to 2030-31.

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) takes more than half of the MEG produced in India. Polyester fibre/textiles and antifreeze/coolants are the other main consumers, and both should grow strongly. Western India is the largest hub of MEG demand; the other regions have broadly similar needs, which should rise.
Reliance Industries Limited, Indian Oil Corporation Limited and India Glycols Limited are the main MEG producers in India. Production has grown well but does not meet domestic demand, and capacity additions have been limited, though more MEG capacity is planned. Meanwhile users and distributors import, and that gap is an opportunity for investors.
Worldwide, the growing polyester fabric industry needs a steady flow of MEG, and that keeps demand rising.
MEG production has been shifting from Europe and the USA to Asia Pacific. The Middle East, China and India are now the main producers, and more capacity is expected there. Despite geopolitical challenges, the global MEG market should keep growing from 2026-27 to 2030-31.
