The global fatty amines market size was estimated at USD 4.66 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 7.42 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2025 to 2033. The market demand for fatty amines is increasingly supported by their critical role in anticaking agent formulations in agrochemicals, particularly within the fertilizer industry.
Unlike short-chain amines, fatty amines possess long, nonpolar hydrophobic alkyl chains along with polar hydrophilic groups, making them highly effective as crystal habit modifiers. Their strong adsorption capability enables them to form a hydrophobic coating on fertilizer granules, minimizing moisture absorption and thereby reducing the formation of bridges between particles, a key cause of caking. This functional advantage directly contributes to their rising demand in fertilizer manufacturing, where maintaining product integrity during storage and transport is essential. Fatty amines prevent caking and help control dust generation by binding fine particles to the fertilizer grains through oily or waxy formulations.
This reduces abrasion and friction between particles, enhancing handling and shelf life. In addition, cost-effective alternatives such as tertiary short-chain amines are being considered, and primary and secondary fatty amines continue to demonstrate superior performance in anticaking applications. As the fertilizer industry expands and prioritizes product stability and environmental compatibility, the demand for high-performance fatty amines will remain strong, driving market growth in developed and emerging regions.
Rising demand for liquid detergent and fabric softeners, the industrial investments in the developed economies are expected to accelerate the market growth. In addition, low cost of raw materials and ample availability, coupled with low toxicity levels and low production cost, are the dynamics that are predicted to open lucrative growth opportunities over the forecast period.
The primary fatty amines are estimated to witness the fastest growth owing to their quality of being used as a basic raw material to produce secondary and tertiary amines, which is anticipated to drive the growth of this product in the forthcoming years. In addition, tertiary amines are used as ore floatation, fuel additives, chemical intermediates, and corrosion inhibitors, accelerating the demand for tertiary fatty amines.
Moreover, tertiary fatty amines have emerged as the largest application segment owing to the significant rise in demand for the product from developed and developing economies due to their wide-ranging abilities. Furthermore, the U.S. market is anticipated to witness steady growth owing to the high demand for the tertiary product, which is utilized in various end-use products.
Fatty amines are mainly used in the paints and coatings industry as they offer multifunctional performance properties and act as epoxy curing agents. Rising spending on construction in the emerging economies of Asia Pacific and the Middle East, owing to population expansion coupled with strong economic development, is expected to affect the product demand over the forecast period.
In emerging economies, the rate of economic growth was high, as it has provided governments with a substantial amount of capital to invest in public infrastructures such as hospitals, offices, and housing societies. The development of private-sector construction firms in China, India, and the UAE is estimated to further subsidize construction spending in the forthcoming years.
