Global Hexamethylene Glycol Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

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.
