Glyoxal is an organic compound that belongs to the aldehyde group, with IUPAC name Oxaldehyde. It is yellow in color and available in liquid form at normal temperature. Upon evaporation, glyoxal appears as a green colored gas. Glyoxal, also known as dialdehyde, is derived from ethylene glycol. The structure of glyoxal is as complex as the molecules of compound hydrates and oligomerizes.

Based upon product type, the glyoxal market can be segmented into pharmaceutical grade and industrial grade. Pharmaceutical grade glyoxal is primarily used as a precursor in the manufacture of a large number of chemical products. Industrial grade glyoxal is used in textile, leather, oil & gas, cosmetics, and other industries as a raw material. Demand for industrial grade glyoxal is higher. It is expected to increase at a faster pace during the forecast period. Rise in demand of glyoxalin various industries such as cosmetics and personal care is projected to boost the glyoxal market. Increase in disposable income and growth in healthier lifestyle of people are anticipated to propel the demand for glyoxal across the globe.

Based on application, the glyoxal market can be segmented into textiles, leather, oil & gas, cosmetics, paper & packaging, and others. The oil & gas segment is anticipated to account for major share of the glyoxal market in terms of demand. Glyoxal acts as a cross-linker and increases the viscosity of the fracturing fluid to release oil. As a result, it is primarily used for oil recovery. Rise in demand for oil & gas across the globe is anticipated to boost the demand for glyoxal. Increase in oil refining activities in North America is estimated to positively influence the oil & gas segment. Demand for glyoxal is moderate in the paper packaging industry due to its moisture retention property. Demand for packaged foods has been rising, as they are portion-controlled, time-saving, and available in suitable packaging with freeze or defrost stability. Increase in technological developments in the packaging industry is expected to widen the range of suitability of food products that include frozen, chilled, shelf-stable, microwavable, and prepared mixes. Other industries such as cosmetics, leather, textiles, and personal care are projected to expand at a steady rate during the forecast period which is likely to increase in demand for glyoxal market.
