Global Glycerol Demand Surges

The global demand for high-purity glycerol is experiencing an unprecedented surge. Historically a byproduct of bio-diesel production, glycerol has become a highly sought-after commodity in its own right.


The pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries are the primary drivers of this trend. Formulators require 99.5%+ pure refined glycerol for its moisturizing and solvent properties in premium personal care products and medications.


SIE Trading has expanded its supply networks to ensure a steady flow of pharmaceutical-grade glycerol, meeting this rising demand without compromising on the rigorous purity standards our clients expect.
