Ethoxylates are organic compounds that are manufactured by treating alcohols and phenols with ethylene oxide in the presence of potassium hydroxide as a catalyst. They are usually obtained by the addition of ethylene oxide (EO) to compounds comprising dissociated protons. Ethoxylates are more prominently used in a variety of industries due to their emulsifying properties. Some of the protuberant industry applications include, household & personal care, agrochemicals, oilfield chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and others. Among these applciations, ethoxylates are dominantly consumed in manufacturing fatty alcohol ether sulphate used in household detergents and personal care products.

In 2016, household and personal care applications cumulatively accounted for 34.7% of the overall ethoxylates consumption. Such industries consume range of ethoxylates type. Numerous ethoxylate types are consumed in different quantities in the aforementioned industrial applications. Some of the major ethoxylate type include natural alcohol ethoxylates, synthetic alcohol ethoxylates, Fatty Amine Ethoxylates, Fatty Acid Ethoxylates, Methyl Ester Ethoxylates, Ethyl Ester Ethoxylates, Glyceride Ethoxylates, Glyceride Ethoxylates, and Polyethylne Glycol.

Segment Analysis:

Such applications include laundry detergents, dishwashing detergents, and fabric softeners. Laundry detergents are the foremost application within household and personal care. Growing use of laundry detergents is in Asia Pacific is boosting the household & personal care demand. Consequently, household & personal care is the fastest growing segment, growing with a CAGR of 4.7% over the forecast period. Industrial and institutional cleaning is the second largest segment and anticipated to witness significant growth of 4.3% over the forecast period. Moreover, agrochemical and pharmaceutical segments were estimated to cumulatively account 25.7% of the overall consumption in 2016.

Based on type, ethoxylates are segmented as alcohol ethoxylates, fatty amine ethoxylates, fatty acid ethoxylates, methyl ester, ethyl ester, glyceride, and polyethylene glycol. Among the types, alcohol ethoxylates accounted for dominating share of 41.6% in overall ethoxylates market in 2016.

Geographically, Asia Pacific dominated the global ethoxylates market, accounting for more than one third of the value share of the global ethoxylates market. The regional market trends substantiating the growth of ethoxylates market includes the growing production and consumption of laundry detergents in emerging China and India markets.

Furthermore, the rapid industrialization in the region, high penetration of alcohol ethoxylates manufacturers in the region, availability of raw material, and proximity to market is estimated have positive impact on overall ethoxylates market in the region. The other emerging markets such as Latin America and the Middle East & Africa seems to follow a similar market trend as Asia Pacific and offers lucrative opportunities for manufacturers of ethoxylates in these regions.
