Key Drivers Stimulating Glyoxal Industry Expansion
Glyoxal Gains Momentum as a Potential Aldehyde Substitute
Glyoxal’s use as a formaldehyde substitute in wood adhesive applications is known for a long time. Several studies are underway to use glyoxal as an aldehyde substitute. Studies are in pipeline to develop glyoxal as a formalin or formaldehyde substitute. Formaldehyde finds extensive application in the production of industrial resins and is an important precursor to multiple chemicals and other materials.
However, the harmful effects of formaldehyde on human health are well studied and according to the US National Toxicology Program, formaldehyde is classified as a human carcinogen. Studies have shown that glyoxal can be used as an alternative fixative to formaldehyde in super-resolution microscopy and immunostaining, and acid-free glyoxal can be used as a formalin substitute in tissue sample preservation.
Also, one of the industry titans, BASF SE, is engaged in formulating a co-biocide using a blend of glyoxal and glutaraldehyde in disinfectants used in veterinary hygiene and the health industry. Identification of glyoxal as a potential substitute for formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde is likely to generate lucrative opportunities for the glyoxal market in the future.

By Application, which Glyoxal is expected to Dominate?
Textile Industry Prevails a Key End-Use Vertical
According to the study, buoyancy in the textile industry will be beneficial for the glyoxal market wherein over 51% of the global glyoxal is consumed by the textile industry. With the rapidly expanding urbanization and urban consumers spending more on high-standard clothing, the textile industry profitability is projected in the future.
As a product of choice for several applications, glyoxal finds extensive application in the textile industry. In textile manufacturing, the efficient crosslinking property of glyoxal leads to decreased water uptake during cellulose crosslinking. As glyoxal can efficiently bind to cellulose and avoid cellulosic swelling, its utilization in the textile industry continues to grow.
Based on End-Use, Which Segment is Likely to Generate Highest Revenue Share
Glyoxal Demand as a Crosslinking Agent Continues to Grow
The application of glyoxal as a crosslinking agent has remained traditional across multiple end-user industries and the status quo is expected to continue in the future. According to the study, nearly 80% of the global glyoxal was consumed as a crosslinking agent.
Glyoxal provides a comprehensive cross-linking solution for a wide range of polymers such as starch, polyacrylamide, cellulose, proteinaceous material, and polyvinyl alcohols. As manufacturers continue to invest more in R&D for the development of biodegradable glyoxal, its application as a crosslinking is likely to grow in the future.
Owing to its low moisture retention characteristics, the application of glyoxal as a crosslinking agent is highly popular across end-use industries such as textiles, paper & pulp, oil & gas, leather, cosmetics, and wood hardening. To deliver application-specific solutions, manufacturers closely work with the industry to align with the specific requirements.
As a crosslinking agent, glyoxal provides comprehensive solutions for a huge number of chemical applications and hence is expected to witness significant demand for glyoxal in the coming years.
