In terms of value, the global glycerol carbonate market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 7% from 2020 to 2030. Glycerol carbonate is a highly used chemical due to its ideal physicochemical properties such as low toxicity, high stability, good biodegradability, low inflammability, and high boiling point. Glycerol carbonate is used in the production of detergents, owing to various advantages it offers such as improved hand-feel performance, solubility of laundry powders, and reduced pH of wash liquor. Glycerol carbonate is employed as a curing agent in cement and concrete applications. This stops water from evaporating too quickly, thus helping reduce cracking and dusting. It is used as a curing agent in various functions such as maintaining mixing water in concrete during the early hardening process, reducing loss of mixing water from the surface of the concrete, and accelerating strength gain using heat and additional moisture.
