Global Ethylene Amines Market By Overview

Introduction:

Ethylene Amines Market was valued at US$ 2.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% to reach US$ 3.5 billion by 2034.

Ethylene amines are a class of organic compounds containing one or more amine functional groups connected by ethylene (-CH2CH2-) units. They are colourless, low-viscosity liquids with a fishy amine odour, although some are solids at room temperature. They are primarily used as building block chemicals and in epoxy resin curing agent chemistry.

There are several different types available in the ethylene amines market, each with its own unique properties and applications. Some of the most common types including Monoethanolamine (MEA), used in gas scrubbing, metal cleaning, and as a component of some cosmetics.

Other complex types of Ethylene Amines are Diethylene triamine (DETA) used as a catalyst in the production of polyurethane foams, and as a chelating agent and Triethylenetetramine (TETA) which is used as a catalyst in the production of nylon, as a corrosion inhibitor, and as a component of some lubricants.

Ethylene amines are used as starting materials for the production of many other chemicals, including plastics, resins, and pharmaceuticals. They act as curing agents for epoxy resins, which are used in adhesives, coatings, and composite materials. They are also used to remove acidic gases from industrial gas streams, such as in power plants and refineries. Ethylene amines are applied as softeners and finishing agents for textiles. In agriculture ethylene amines are used as herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides.

The wide range of industrial applications is a major growth driver of the Ethylene Amines Market. Moreover, Ethylene amines are biodegradable and have low toxicity, making them an attractive alternative to traditional solvents and other chemicals. The growing demand for environmentally friendly products is expected to drive the demand for ethylene amines market.

Plastics Europe reports that global plastics output increased by 4% annually to 390.7 million metric tons in 2021 from 375.5 million metric tons in 2020. In comparison to 25,225,242 units in 2020, China's car production increased by 2% to 26,082,220 units in 2021, according to OICA. Such growth in these end user industries will positively reflect on the Ethylene Amines Market.
