As an important fine chemical raw material, ethanolamine has a rapid growth in demand in the downstream areas of the Asia-Pacific region and has a large space for growth. With the completion of the new 75,000-ton/year plant in Malaysia and the 40,000-ton/year plant in Donglian, Taiwan, the net import of ethanolamine in Asia Pacific has declined.
The report estimates that the annual growth rate of ethanolamine demand in North America for the next four years will be 3.0% to 3.5%. Herbicides and surfactants will continue to drive the steady increase in demand for ethanolamine in North America. The ethanolamine demand growth in Western Europe is expected to be 4.5%, driven mainly by surfactants and the pharmaceutical industry.
According to statistics from SRI Consulting, the global ethanolamine production capacity in 2005 was 1.52 million tons/year, which was mainly concentrated in North America, Western Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, which accounted for 41%, 29% and 20% of the total global production capacity, respectively. The world's largest four ethanolamine producers are Dow, Ineos, BASF, and Huntsman, with a total capacity of 960,000 tons/year, accounting for approximately 63% of the world's total production capacity.
In 2005, the world production of ethanolamine was 1.22 million tons, and the operating rate of the plant was about 80%. In 2005, the ethanolamine production/demand conditions in major regions of the world were: 57.46 million tons in the United States; 31.36 million tons in Western Europe; and Asia-Pacific 24/31 Ten thousand tons; other areas 10/9 million tons. Among them, the consumption of surfactants accounted for more than 32%, the consumption of herbicides accounted for 15%, and the application for gas treatment accounted for about 10%.
Ethanolamine includes three isomers: monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA) and triethanolamine (TEA), which are important fine chemical raw materials for surfactants, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, polyurethane additives, air Cleaners, rubber processing aids, textile auxiliaries, cosmetics, chemical weapons, and antifreeze additives. The most important of these is monoethanolamine, which accounts for about 50% of the total production. Followed by diethanolamine, about 30% to 35% of total production. Triethanolamine is classified into two types according to its purity and color: TEA85% and TEA99%.
Output growth is not as fast as demand growth Global ethanolamine plant operating rate will increase
SRI Consulting's latest report predicts that world ethanolamine demand will grow at an annual rate of 5% to 6% in the next four years, while output will grow at an average rate of 2.8% per year. As there is currently no plan to build a large-scale ethanolamine plant on a global scale, it is expected that the operating rate of global ethanolamine production facilities will increase before 2010, and the total ethanolamine production in the world in 2010 will reach 1.4 million tons.
