Ethyleneamines Market: Overview

An organic substance called ethyleneamine is made up of ethylene links between amine groups. It is a clear, thick liquid with an ammonia-like smell. Strong bases like ethyleneamine can be utilized as chelating agents. Water may be easily combined with it. Moreover, it is soluble in hydrochloric acid, diluted nitric acid, and sulfuric acid. The market offers a variety of ethyleneamines, including piperazine, diethylenetriamine, ethylenediamine, triethylenetetramine, heavy polyamine, and tetraethylenepentamine.

In a wide variety of applications, ethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine are frequently employed as reactive intermediates to create additional beneficial compounds. It may be created via pressurized hydrogen reduction of aminoacetonitrile with nickel suboxide. The reaction of ethanolamine with ammonia in the presence of a nickel catalyst is a different way to make ethanolamine. The typical reaction of ethyleneamines with moisture in the presence of air produces fumes that are harmful to human health and corrosive to metals.

Thus, the increasing agriculture sector coupled with growing government initiatives penetrates the ethyleneamines industry expansion.

Ethyleneamines Market: Restraints

The COVID-19 pandemic acts as a major restraint for the market growth                     

The Covid-19 outbreak has caused supply chain disruptions, industrial closures, and a decline in demand for the automotive sector. Due to restrictions on the import and export of goods, the automobile sectors are experiencing problems such as delays in acquiring pollution control catalysts from the manufacturers. The epidemic is severely affecting the automotive sector. The abrupt halt in vehicle manufacturing has resulted in a significant loss for the whole automotive industry. The demand for ethyleneamines has drastically decreased due to the decline in automobile manufacturing, which act as a restraining factor for global ethyleneamines market growth.

Ethyleneamines Market: Opportunities

The growing automotive industry provides a lucrative opportunity

Ethyleneamines are primarily employed as an additive for ash-less emissions in fuels and lubricants in automotive applications. It is primarily included in lubricants to minimize the development of sludge and deliquesce deposits in IC engines. China is the largest automobile market in the world, and the Chinese government anticipates that the number of cars produced there would reach 30 million units by 2020 and 35 million units by 2025.

The Chinese Association of Vehicle Manufacturers reports that more than 27 million automobiles were sold in 2018. In 2017, 1.2 million new passenger cars, SUVs, and commercial vehicles were sold in Australia, up 0.9% over the previous year, according to the International Trade Administration (ITA). Thus, the growing automotive industry will rise the growth of the ethyleneamines industry over the forecast period.

Ethyleneamines Market: Challenges

Health risks associated with ethyleneamines pose a major challenge

Humans with acute inhalation exposure to ethyleneamines have significant inflammation and irritation of the respiratory system. Acute inhalation exposure symptoms in people include eye burning & tearing, sore throat, nasal discharge, bronchitis, shortness of breath, and emphysema of the lungs. Ethyleneamines are a powerful blistering agent that may burn the skin chemically to the third degree. Moreover, it is corrosive to eye tissue and may result in conjunctival scarring and persistent corneal opacity.

Ethyleneamines Market: Segmentation

The global ethyleneamines industry is segmented based on type, application, industry vertical, and region.

Based on the type, the global market is bifurcated into Ethylenediamine (EDA), Diethylenetriamine (DETA), Triethylenetetramine (TETA), Tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA), Heavy Polyamide (HPA), Piperazine (PIP) and Others. The Ethylenediamine (EDA) segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The growth in the segment is attributed to the rising demand for ethylenediamine in a variety of end-use industries, where it is used for products like chelating agents, corrosion inhibitors, ethylene urea resins, ion exchange resins, thermoplastic resin lubricants, petroleum additives, polyamide resins, rubber chemicals, surface-active agents, and others.

It is the lowest molecular weight ethyleneamine produced, and it is a single-component clear and colorless substance. Moreover, ethylenediamine is utilized as an intermediary in the synthesis of tetra acetyl ethylenediamine (TAED), a bleaching activator found in detergents and additives for dishwashing and laundry. As a result, it is predicted that throughout the projection period, demand for ethylenediamine would rise considerably due to the increased demand from various applications.

Based on the application, the global ethyleneamines industry is segmented into fuel additives, corrosion inhibitors, polyamide resins, epoxy curing agents, surfactants, chelating agents, bleach activators, ion exchange resins, fungicides, rubber chemicals, and others. The resins application segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the rising demand for ethyleneamines from different end-use sectors used to make wet strength resins, polyamide resins, ion exchange resin, and epoxy curing agents.

Polyamines based on diethylenetriamine are frequently utilized as wet-strength additives for paper. These resins provide the wet-strength functionality required for usage in damp environments. Boards for packing or tissues are examples of applications. The primary form of polyamide resin, in addition to the liquid resins used as epoxy hardeners, is often made via the condensation reaction of diamines with di- and polybase fatty acids. Polyamide resins are frequently employed as binders in printing inks for flexo gravure application on certain paper, film, and foil webs. As a result, the broad use of ethyleneamines as a resin for different applications would fuel the expansion of the ethyleneamines market during the anticipated time.

Based on the industry vertical, the global ethyleneamines market is segmented into personal care & cosmetics, pulp & paper, aerospace & defense, adhesives, paints & coatings, agrochemicals, automotive, pharmaceutical & healthcare, oil & gas, and others. The adhesives and paints & coatings segment is projected to grow substantially over the forecast period due to the rising demand for ethyleneamines from the production of epoxy resins in the adhesives, paints, and coatings industries.

Epoxy resins, which are essential in the paints and adhesives industries, are produced using ethylene amines. In the coating sector, it stops the corrosion of steel and marine frameworks. It may stick to a variety of surfaces in the sticky area, including metal, wood, glass, and plastic. One of the most crucial engineering resins for automobiles, airplanes, and wind turbine blades, these resins may also be found in the field of composite materials. The epoxy resin performs as intended after it has dried. This critical phase makes use of ethylene amine. Thus, it is expected that the ethyleneamines market will see growth throughout the projected period due to the high demand for ethyleneamines used to make epoxy resins.
