Ethyleneamines Market Size

Global Ethyleneamines Market Overview

Ethyleneamines Market Size was valued at USD 2,762.9 Mn in 2023. The ethyleneamines market industry is projected to grow from USD 3,154.1 Mn in 2024 to USD 8,818.1 Mn by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.42% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Ethyleneamines are chemical compounds with two or three ethylene units linked to nitrogen atoms. Polyalkylenimines are another term for them. Monoethanolamine (MEA) and triethanolamine (TEA) are both classified as ethyleneamines (TEA). The unique mix of reactivity, surface activity, and basicity allows Ethyleneamines to be used in a wide range of applications. In chemical processes, MEA and TEA are commonly utilized as catalysts. They are also used to make polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles and other plastics including polyester fibers and resins.

The global market for ethyleneamine is growing because of its end-use applications such as chelating agents, lubricating oil additives, epoxy curing agents, and polyamide resins. Its high reactivity allows it to produce a wide range of goods with various applications in different end-use sectors. Moreover, rising demand for the product in the water treatment and pharmaceuticals industries, as well as its increased use in lubricating oil additives, agrochemicals, and paints and coatings, is fueling the rise.
