Stringent laws and regulations by local governments regarding the quality of food and excess chemical usage are anticipated to aid market expansion.

Similarly, increasing preference towards the processing of foods at domestic by smaller countries to achieve self-sufficiency, is anticipated to fuel market growth. The constant demand for the polyglycerol from cosmetics and personal care sector is leading to the development of sophisticated products, thus amplifying overall market value.

Properties of polyglycerol such as multi-functionality, bio-degradability, and mildness, make it an ideal choice during the production of non-GMO food products. The pharmaceutical sector is one of the fastest-growing segments in the polyglycerol industry with the highest revenue generation in the last couple of years. is expected to augment industry demand. Increasing adoption of science and technology during the manufacturing and development of drugs is one of the critical factors responsible for the rising demand for the polyglycerol market in the pharmaceutical industry.

Glycerol is the primary ingredient during the production of polyglycerol. Glycerol is commonly derived from biodiesel and oleo-chemicals, which are cheaper and easily available in the market. Thus, the production of polyglycerol is commonly considered a cost-effective process, as the price of the polyglycerol is directly dependent on the cost of the raw ingredients. The process involved during the production of the polyglycerol from glycerol is called as esterification of fatty acids, which are highly saturated or mono-unsaturated depending on the number of hydroxyl groups present. Glycerol is commonly considered a trifunctional molecule that can condense with itself to produce multiple polymers.

Polyglycerol esters act as non-ionic surfactants with a range of applications in different industries such as personal care, food& beverage, and the pharmaceutical industry. Polyglycerol esters are of amphiphilic nature, which makes them an ideal choice for the stabilization of various suspensions activities.

Increasing use of polyglycerol in the cosmetics and personal care sector offers numerous benefits including emulsification, viscosity management, dispersion, and stability for the end mixture. Application of polyglycerol in the cosmetics and personal care sector involves hairstyle gels, skin treatment products, skin cleansers, baby creams, hand lotions, moisturizers, sunscreens lotions, and sun-protective sticks.
