Description

The global Hexamethylene Glycol market size is predicted to grow from US$ 504 million in 2025 to US$ 680 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2026 to 2032.

Hexamethylene glycol, also known as 1,6-hexanediol (HDO), is an aliphatic diol that exists as a white, waxy or needle-like crystalline solid at room temperature. Its molecular chain has a hydroxyl functional group at each end. It is primarily used as a high-performance organic intermediate and chemical raw material, produced industrially through processes such as the catalytic hydrogenation of adipic acid. It is widely used in the synthesis of high-quality polyurethanes, polyesters, coating resins, plasticizers, and other applications.

Its upstream industry mainly consists of basic chemical raw materials, with adipic acid being a core raw material. These raw materials are processed through hydrogenation and other processes to produce hexamethylene glycol, etc.Global sales are projected to reach 257,500 tons in 2025, with an average market price of approximately US$2,000 per ton. The industry's gross profit margin is in the range of 17%–30%.

Hexamethylene Glycol has entered an accelerated phase of both technological maturity and widespread application. As the downstream polyurethane (PU) and ultraviolet (UV) curing industries demand increasingly extreme material performance, 1,6-HDO is no longer considered merely a common monomer, but rather a key element in improving the weather resistance and high-end quality of end products.Simultaneously, advancements in materials science and manufacturing technology are driving product development towards higher purity and improved synthesis efficiency to meet market demands for high-performance and specialized products.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
