Crude oil prices have decelerated significantly in the past few months due to the recent disagreement and separation between Russia and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). This has caused a significant reduction in prices as both the factions want their oil to be sold in the market. The U.S. is the largest exporter of shale oil, and the discovery of new shale oil reserves in the country drives the market growth. The demand for oil and gas has reduced considerably in the past several months due to supply outstripping demand, leading to further price reduction. These factors are likely to drive the consumption of oil and gas, further surging the consumption of thioglycolate, which is used in petroleum refining and oil production.
Based on product type, the thioglycolate market is segmented into ammonium thioglycolate, calcium thioglycolate, sodium thioglycolate, butyl thioglycolate, and potassium thioglycolate. The ammonium thioglycolate segment dominates the market. The potassium thioglycolate and calcium thioglycolate segments, on the other hand, hold the highest market share on account of their rising use for the production of chemical depilatories. Based on end-use, the market is segmented into oil and gas, leather, mining, chemical and plastics, and cosmetics and personal care. The cosmetics and personal care segment dominated the market.
