Fatty Amines Market Report 2026

The fatty amines market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.74 billion in 2025 to $5.22 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of agrochemical manufacturing, growth in water treatment infrastructure, rising demand for surfactants in household products, increased use in oilfield chemical formulations, availability of oleochemical feedstocks.

The fatty amines market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.57 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing shift toward renewable chemical feedstocks, rising demand for specialty amine derivatives, expansion of wastewater treatment investments, growing application in personal care formulations, increasing focus on sustainable chemical processing. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of bio-based surfactants, rising demand for high-purity oleochemical derivatives, growing use in water treatment applications, expansion of fatty amines in agrochemical formulations, enhanced focus on process efficiency and yield optimization.

The increasing demand in agrochemicals is expected to propel the growth of the fatty amines market going forward. Agrochemicals refer to a broad category of chemical products designed for use in agriculture to enhance crop production and protect plants from pests, diseases, and weeds. Fatty amines contribute to their widespread use in the agrochemical industry, where they enhance the performance and efficiency of various agricultural products, reduce surface tension, formulation stability, serve as adjuvants, improving soil penetration, improved crop protection, enhanced rainfastness, and reduction of spray drift during pesticide application. For instance, in May 2023, according to the Ministry Of Agriculture And Farmers Welfare, an India-based Department of Agriculture And Farmers Welfare, in 2022, Chhattisgarh consumed 705 metric tons (MT) of bio-pesticides, which increased to 740 MT in 2023. In Gujarat, the consumption of bio-pesticides rose from 392 MT in 2022 to 548 MT in 2023. Therefore, the increasing demand in agrochemicals is driving the growth of the fatty amines market.

The increasing demand for personal care products is expected to propel the growth of the fatty amines market going forward. Personal care products refer to a wide range of items individuals use for personal grooming, hygiene, and beautification purposes. Fatty amines are used in personal care products as surfactants to reduce the surface tension between water and oil, enabling them to mix effectively. For instance, in December 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US-based government agency, expenditure on personal care products and services increased by 9.7% in 2023, while spending on personal insurance and pensions rose by 9.3%. Therefore, the increasing demand for personal care products is driving the growth of the fatty amines market.

In December 2023, Samyang Holdings, a South Kore-based plastics bottle manufacturing company, acquired Verdant Specialty Solutions for approximately $250 million (€230 million). This acquisition marks Samsung’s first venture into the Americas and aligns with its strategy to expand globally through mergers and acquisitions. Verdant Specialty Solutions is a US-based company involved in the production of various specialty chemicals, including fatty amines.
