Production is high in China and in other leading producer countries including Germany and the USA which have important electric vehicle battery production. Thus, the major battery manufacturers such as CATL, LG Energy Solution, and Panasonic secured ethylene carbonate even though a large array of different battery chemistries is used in the transition to electric vehicles and electrical grid storage, high-purity ethylene carbonate becomes a critical commodity in the ecosystem of the energy transition. <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Rising Adoption of Eco-Friendly Solvents</li> </ul> Industries are using ethylene carbonate as a biodegradable and low toxicity solvent to reduce environmental pollution associated with paint and coating solvents, plasticizers, and other compounds for which ethylene carbonate has solvent power with a low environmental burden. Governments of North America and Europe are easing replacement of customary solvents with environmentally preferable solvents through regulation and subsidies for industry. Specialty chemical producers are expanding production of bio-based ethylene carbonate. When new sustainable production methods are established, this green chemistry could provide new uses for ethylene carbonate in a variety of industrial applications. <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Advancements in High-Performance Lubricants</li> </ul> Ethylene carbonate is used as a high performance lubricant due to its high viscosity, thermal stability, and chemical stability. New emulsifiers and additives such as ethylene carbonate are being developed to meet the increasing performance requirements of automotive and other industrial equipment. Other emerging markets for manufacturing and automotive products, such as India and Brazil, in conjunction with technical advances in lubricants R&D that garner attention on LinkedIn and at industry trade shows around the world suggest a general trend toward higher performance lubricants. Thus, ethylene carbonate continues to expect stable demand from OEM lubricant applications and in the aftermarket. Key Trends in the Ethylene Carbonate Market: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Surge in Battery-Grade Production Capabilities</li> </ul> Most ethylene carbonate is used in the battery industry with increasing production of battery-grade material. Manufacturers are investing in the development and production of high-purity variants of the element that have a lower water content which could dramatically improve lithium-ion battery performance. The majority of future increases in production will be in the Asia-Pacific region, and especially from South Korean and Chinese manufacturers. There are reports that chemical manufacturers are collaborating with battery OEMs to create a more resilient supply chain for EVs and storage batteries because battery-grade EC is critical to the energy value chain. <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Integration in Sustainable Coating Formulations</li> </ul> Ethylene carbonate is a new potential non VOC solvent for wood coatings, industrial coatings and corrosion resistant coatings. Paint manufacturers worldwide are looking into more waterborne and solvent-free coatings for their products. Ethylene carbonate can provide this performance without regulatory concerns in North America and in Europe and is enlisted in green building codes and listed in green building indoor air quality codes because of this performance. Ethylene carbonate for new coating product developments has been presented at a number of industry conferences and on sustainable coatings blogs as a likely trend as environmental legislation becomes more stringent. <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Diversification into Pharmaceutical and Agrochemical Applications</li> </ul> Outside of this market, ethylene carbonate is used as a component of pharmaceutical and agrochemical formulations, as a solubilizer (solubilizing agent), reaction medium, and as a stabilizer for the active ingredient of an agrochemical or pharmaceutical product. The pharmaceutical industry is investigating it for its use in drug delivery, and the agrochemical industry is using the ethylene carbonate products as an ingredient in crop protection formulations. Additional approvals and pilot projects have been published through R&D platforms. This expands the addressable ethylene carbonate market, diversifying revenue streams and stabilizing them from dependency on battery applications, which are more volatile.
