The global ethanolamines market is expected to witness a CAGR of approximately 4.4% during the forecast period, majorly driven by the rising demand from corrosion inhibitors and glysophate herbicides applications.

Increasing Application Base

Ethanolamines are corrosive, colorless, flammable, and viscous liquids that are produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide and ammonia. It is required in various industries for applications such as cement grinding, gas treatment, pharmaceuticals, agricultural, and personal care products. The demand for ethanolamines from corrosion inhibitors for metal protection, and glysophate herbicides are expected to drive the market extensively during the forecast period. Furthermore, the increasing demand for DEA from the herbicides segment shall further augment the growth of the ethanolamines market

Cement Grinding is the Most Dominating Segment

Cement grinding dominates the market for ethanolamines by application. This is due to the rising demand from the construction sector because of the increasing construction activities in developing nations including India, Indonesia, Thailand, and China. Additionally, the rising investments in the construction sector from both the government and international companies (owing to growing tourism and business opportunities) in these economies are expected to boost the demand for ethanolamines from the cement grinding segment. Other than cement grinding, the textile and the others segment hold growth potential.

Growing Demand from Textile and Personal Care Segments in Asia-Pacific

Asia-Pacific held the largest share, followed by North America. Asia-Pacific is also expected to be the fastest growing region during the forecast period due to the growth in the textiles, herbicides, and personal care segments. In China, new plants have been constructed that require MEA as a raw material. This shall further augment the growth of the market in the Asia-Pacific region during the forecast period.
