Ethanolamines Market Trends

• 
  

  Increase in building and construction is fuelling market growth

  
  

Building and construction operations are regarded as the pillars of a country's progress and contribute significantly to the market CAGR for Ethanolamines growth. According to Volvo CE, the construction sector has seen a growth in the production and manufacturing of construction materials across numerous regions since the fourth quarter of 2020. In 2020, South America saw a 12% increase, Asia 39%, Europe 20%, and China 28%. All of these reasons raised demand for construction materials such as concrete, steel, cement, paints, and other building materials around the world.

Ethanolamines are often utilized as performance enhancers and cement grinding aids to minimize total energy consumption during the cement manufacturing process, as well as to improve cement quality. Similarly, Ethanoalamines offer corrosion prevention capabilities as well as higher mechanical and compressive strength, making them appropriate for the manufacturing of protective coatings, steel, and concrete. This, in turn, increased demand for the use of Ethanolamine, which is necessary for the production of various construction materials, resulting in market growth in the next years.

Additionally, ethanolamine is also found in agricultural chemicals like insecticides and herbicides. The primary benefit of employing Ethanolamine is that it improves a pesticide's capacity to dissolve in water. Similarly, Diethanolamine is one of the key raw chemicals necessary during the synthesis of glyphosate, which aids in the production of high-quality herbicides. According to "Statistics Times" data, China is the top contributor to the agricultural economy, accounting for 19.49% of total agricultural output, followed by India at 7.39%. Furthermore, when released into aquatic habitats, ethanolamines can pollute the water by increasing the chemical oxygen requirement and total nitrogen count. As a result, the significant danger of environmental degradation and health risks associated with the long-term usage of Ethanolamines may limit market revenue.

Ethanolamines Market Segment Insights

Ethanolamines Product Insights

The ethanolamines market segmentation, based on product includes monoethanoamines, diethanolamines and triethanolamines. Triethanolamine (TEA) held a significant share in the Ethanolamines Market in 2022 and is estimated to increase at a CAGR of 4% between 2022 and 2032, owing to rising demand for TEA in cosmetics and skincare products such as sunscreens, cleansers, lotions, serums, shaving gels, and cream. In comparison to Monoethanolamine (MEA) and Diethanolamine (DEA), the usage of TEA in skincare products has a number of advantages. Some of the advantages that TEA has over other types of ethanolamine are that it helps balance the PH of the products, gives aesthetic benefits, helps thicken the product formula, and helps stable the emulsions, which makes the overall products last longer.
