Amines

The agricultural chemical and cleaning product markets will see the largest gains, while the fastest growth will occur in the wood treatment products market, but from a smaller base.

US demand to rise 2.4% annually through 2016

US demand for amines (excluding those used to produce other amines) is forecast to advance 2.4 percent annually to 3.1 billion pounds in 2016, valued at $4.3 billion. Growth will accelerate from that of the 2006-2011 period as most markets for amines continue to recover from the 2007-2009 recession. The agricultural chemical and cleaning product markets will be responsible for the largest increases in amines demand, with agricultural chemical amine sales rising above the overall average.

The fastest growth will occur in the wood treatment products market, though from a much smaller base, due to a robust rebound in construction spending. While demand for most amine products will grow near or just above the overall average pace, polyetheramines will continue to outperform due to their rising use in coatings and composites.

Ethanolamines to remain key product segment

Ethanolamines will be the largest and second fastest growing product segment in the US amines market. Diethanolamine will remain the most commercially significant of the ethanolamines, providing strong support as it continues to benefit from use in herbicides such as glyphosate and atrazine. The fast growth in the wood treatment market will benefit monoethanolamine, while triethanolamine demand will be aided by new uses in fabric softeners and cleaning products. Due to their importance in polyurea coatings and composites, and as epoxy resin curing agents, polyetheramines will continue to grow at a faster pace than all other amine product types.

Pesticides, cleaning products among best market opportunities

Healthy demand for alkylamines and ethanolamines as intermediates in pesticide active ingredient production will drive above average increases in the agricultural chemical market through 2016, particularly as pesticide exports rise due to the expanded planting in developing countries of crops resistant to the pesticides in which the amines are used. Alkylamines and ethanolamines will also lead gains in cleaning products, the largest outlet for amines; however, increases in the personal care market will be somewhat slower due to the maturity of key applications such as liquid personal bath soaps.

The fastest growth will be achieved in the wood treatment market, driven by a rebound in residential construction; however, increasing competition from woodalternative products will limit gains over the long term. Among the smaller markets, rubber, plastics, and pharmaceuticals will post above average growth, while the natural gas and water treatment markets will rise at below average paces.

Study Scope

This study analyzes the $2.8 billion US amines industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2001, 2006 and 2011, with forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by product (e.g., ethanolamines, alkylamines, fatty amines, specialty amines, ethyleneamines, polyetheramines) and market (e.g., cleaning products, agricultural chemicals, personal care products, natural gas processing, water treatment, lubricants, wood treatment).

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and capacity share, and profiles 23 industry players such as Huntsman, Taminco, and Dow Chemical.
