Ethanolamine Market Size

Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global ethanolamine market size was valued at USD 3.66 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 3.83 billion in 2024 to USD 5.73 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. Asia Pacific dominated the ethanolamine market with a market share of 44.54% in 2023.


Ethanolamine is a highly versatile organic compound that can be synthesized from ammonia by sequentially replacing hydrogen atoms with hydroxyethyl radicals. Ethanolamine and its derivatives are extensively used in various industries, particularly as absorbents for acidic components, such as carbon dioxide in natural gas and petroleum-refinery gas streams. They are also used as emulsifiers in numerous household and industrial products. When combined with fatty acids, they form salts (soaps) used as emulsifiers in cosmetics, detergents, and other personal care products.


The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the market’s progress as a major slowdown in the global economic activities resulted in reduced demand for this product in many sectors, including metal, oil & gas, and textile. In addition, supply chain disruptions and extreme changes in raw material prices had a major impact on the market’s outlook. However, countries are opening their borders for international trade, resulting in an increased demand for industrial chemicals. This factor is expected to help the market grow in the future.


Ethanolamine Market Trends


Demand for Herbicide Intermediate in Agrochemical Sector Creating Key Market Trend


The increasing product demand in the agrochemical sector, particularly for producing herbicides, highlights a significant trend in the chemical and agriculture industries. Ethanolamines, which are versatile organic compounds acting as weak bases, are extensively used to formulate herbicides that effectively control weeds and promote crop growth. This surge in demand is attributed to a combination of factors.


Moreover, advancements in agricultural practices and the need for sustainable farming methods have encouraged the development of innovative herbicides that can target specific weeds without harming the crops. Ethanolamine’s' versatility and compatibility with other compounds make them ideal for producing specialized herbicide formulations. This has led to increased research and development activities that are focused on ethanolamine-based herbicides, further driving their demand in the agrochemical sector.

Ethanolamine Market Growth Factors


Growing Demand in Surfactants and Chemical Intermediates is Fostering Market Growth


Ethanolamines are crucial in the production of surfactants and chemical intermediates. The demand for this type of amines is driven by its ability to emulsify or disperse water-insoluble substances, making them indispensable in many products. The expanding personal care, home cleaning, and agriculture industries will contribute to the increased product demand. Ethanolamines are also utilized to synthesize various chemicals, including agrochemicals and drugs. The ongoing developments in pharmaceutical and construction industries necessitate a steady supply of these amines. Overall, the versatility and efficiency of this amine type make it a critical component in a diverse array of chemical reactions and products.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Stringent Regulations Related to Product Use and Their Environmental Impact May Pose Challenges to Market’s Growth


The market is facing challenges due to concerns related to its environmental and health impact. Ethanolamine is used in various applications, but its use has been associated with concerns about toxicity and carcinogenicity. Regulatory restrictions have led to a shift toward more eco-friendly alternatives. Additionally, the production of this type of amines generates greenhouse gas emissions, prompting companies to focus on more sustainable practices. These challenges present opportunities for innovation and collaboration toward a more sustainable future.


Ethanolamine Market Segmentation Analysis


By Type Analysis


Monoethanolamine (MEA) Holds Dominant Share Due to Its Increasing Adoption in Various Chemical Intermediates


Based on type, the market is segmented into Monoethanolamine (MEA), Triethanolamine (TEA), and Diethanolamine (DEA). The Monoethanolamine (MEA) segment held a dominant ethanolamine market share in 2023. MEA is widely used across various industries due to its versatility and effectiveness as a feedstock for producing detergents, emulsifiers, polishes, pharmaceuticals, and chemical intermediates. Its significant role in gas treatment, particularly in the removal of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) from natural gas and refinery streams, further underscores its importance in the chemical industry. The demand for MEA is influenced by its applications in cleaning agents, personal care products, textile processing, and gas treatment technologies. As industries continue to expand and new product applications emerge, MEA’s market share is expected to remain substantial, reflecting its critical role in meeting the diverse needs of the global market.


Triethanolamine (TEA) is anticipated to lead with a considerable growth rate during the study period. It is a versatile organic compound widely used in various industrial and cosmetic applications. It is a viscous and colorless liquid that can appear as white granules. TEA is formed by the reaction of ethylene oxide with aqueous ammonia, resulting in a compound that exhibits properties of both amines and alcohols. This dual functionality makes TEA an effective surfactant and a common ingredient in formulations requiring pH adjustment or buffering, making it valuable in many industries.

Detergents Segment Holds Major Market Share as They Inhibit Surfactant Properties and are Excellent Emulsifiers


Based on application, the market is segmented into detergents, ethyleneamines, gas purification, metal cleaning, herbicide intermediate, textile, and others. The detergents segment holds a dominant share of the market. Ethanolamines are chemical compounds that play a significant role in the formulation of detergents due to their surfactant properties, emulsifying capabilities, pH adjustment abilities, compatibility with other ingredients, and biodegradability. They are crucial in the production of detergents as they contribute to their cleaning effectiveness, stability, and overall performance.


Ethanolamines can be involved in the synthesis of ethyleneamines. These products are versatile chemicals used in a variety of industrial processes. In the production of ethylene amines, the product can undergo reactions that lead to the formation of ethylene amines, a class of chemicals that include ethylenediamine, among others. These reactions typically involve complex processes, including amination, where ammonia reacts with ethanolamines. Ethyleneamines are valuable in many applications, such as in manufacturing chelating agents, pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and epoxy-curing agents.
