Widening Applications across End-users to Fuel the GlobalEthoxylates Market
Ethoxylates is an organic compound that is produced from the reaction of phenols and alcohols with ethylene oxide by using potassium hydroxide as a catalyst. It is non-ionic surfactants and generally used as surfactants generally used across manufacturing of cosmetics, surface cleaners, detergents, paints, and other products. Whereas, personal care, pulp & paper, textile processing, agriculture, and paints & coatings sectors are major end-users and major consumers of the ethoxylates, which propel growth of the global ethoxylates market. Additionally, various products of the ethoxylates such as alcohol ethoxylate, methyl ester ethoxylate, and fatty acid ethoxylate, which have several application and robust demand from the chemical industries and which is fuelling growth of the global ethoxylates market. Ethoxylates Market to grow from USD 10.10 billion in 2019 to USD 12.5 billion by 2021, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.37% during the forecast period.
In addition to this, the growth of the global ethoxylates market can be attributable to the swiftly changing consumer lifestyles, increasing use by the end-user industries, and rising demand for the low-rinse detergents. Intensifying use of the ethoxylates several industrial applications owing to its good formulation, excellent wetting capacity, high water solubility, and low aquatic toxicity are some of the major factors which are expected to fuel the growth of the ethoxylates market. The compound has applications as emulsion stabilizers during the processing of wax, floor polish, and emulsion polymers; thus, the compound swiftly dissolve and offer ionic stability during reactions and emulsification reaction. This factor acts is driving the growth of ethoxylates market. However, the concerns about the toxicity of ethoxylates among people are a major issue and are likely to restrain the market growth. Nonetheless, the increasing penetrations of production of the eco-friendly ethoxylates are likely to provide huge opportunities for the manufacturers in the market.
The key players operating in the global ethoxylates market include The Dow Chemical Company, Huntsman International LLC, Shell Chemicals, Ineos Group Limited, BASE SA, Solvay SA, Arkema SA, and Air Products and Chemicals Inc. The companies are trying to comply with the environmental norms imposed by the several governments in the developed as well as developing countries.
