Growing Agrochemicals Sector Predicted to Increase the Demand for Ethyleneamines Globally
The steady growth of the agrochemicals industry is expected to strongly support the growth of the global ethyleneamines industry due to the application of ethyleneamines in the manufacture of several crop protection products. Ethylenediamine (EDA), one of the major types of ethyleneamines, is a key raw material in the making of macozeb, an effective fungicide used on several types of crops due to its capability to handle a large variety of fungal diseases. It is also instrumental in the production of imidacloprid, the most widely used insecticide in the world.The Asia-Pacific region is expected to show a robust increase in the market value during the forecast period due to its rising agrochemicals sector. Diethylenetriamine and other forms of ethyleneamines are used in enhancing the wet-strength of paper. Thus, it has found significant applications in the packaging industry. The growth of the packaging industry in the developing countries of the Asia-Pacific is expected to further boost the demand for ethyleneamines in this region.
Ethyleneamines: Market Segmentation
Ethyleneamines are a class of organic compounds containing CH2CH2 groups as links between amine groups. They are typically colourless liquids with low viscosity and a fishy odour, characteristic of amine compounds. There are two common methods of ethyleneamine production used in industries, the first and more common being from the reaction of ethylene dichloride with ammonia and the second, the reductive amination of monoethanolamine.The major types of ethyleneamines are:
- Ethylenediamene (EDA)
- Diethylenetriamine (DETA)
- Triethylenetetramine (TETA)
- Tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA)
- Aminoethylpiperazine (AEP-HP)
- Others
The market can be broadly categorised on the basis of its applications into:
- Agrochemicals
- Automotive
- Adhesives, Paints, and Resins
- Paper and Pulp
- Pharmaceuticals
- Personal Care
- Oil and Gas
- Textile Chemicals
- Water Treatment
- Others
The report looks into the regional markets of ethyleneamines like:
- North America
- Europe
- Asia-Pacific
- Latin America
- Middle East and Africa
Rising Applications of Ethyleneamines in Chemical Synthesis to Support the Industry Growth
Ethyleneamines are reactive chemicals and can be used to control the properties of a wide variety of chemical products. This includes characteristics such as softness, firmness, flexibility, adhesive properties, and others, leading to its use in the manufacture of products such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, adhesives, detergents, and others. Besides these, ethylenediamine is a key raw material in the agrochemicals industry. The general increase in the use of chemicals in the manufacture of several common products is expected to drive the demand for ethyleneamines.The recent surge in the pharmaceutical industry due to the COVID-19 is expected to significantly boost the growth of the global ethyleneamines industry, especially ethylenediamine and piperazine, which are used as raw materials in the production of several commercially available drugs.
