The Global Monoethanolamine Market Report 2025 provides comprehensive industry analysis of development components, market patterns, flows, and sizes. It evaluates present and historical market values to forecast potential market performance through the forecast period 2026–2036. This research integrates both primary and secondary data sources, examining government policy, market environment, competitive landscape, historical data, current trends, technological innovation, upcoming technologies, and technical progress in related industries.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019, declared a global public health emergency by the World Health Organization, significantly disrupted the Monoethanolamine Market in 2020. Supply chain interruptions, reduced industrial activity, and delayed projects in detergents, personal care, and textile finishing impacted demand. Recovery trends have since been shaped by renewed investment in consumer goods, industrial chemicals, and sustainable formulations, alongside heightened focus on supply chain resilience.

Market Segmentation

By Grade

  • Industrial Grade: The most common grade, used extensively in gas treating, wood preservation, and industrial cleaning applications.
  • Pharmaceutical/Specialty Grade: High-purity monoethanolamine used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and high-end personal care products.

By Application

  • Gas Treating: Used as a solvent for "scrubbing" or removing carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from natural gas and refinery process streams.
  • Detergents and Personal Care: Acts as a surfactant and emulsifier in soaps, detergents, and cosmetics. It is also used in the production of ethanolamides.
  • Chemical Intermediates: Used to synthesize ethylenediamine (EDA), ethyleneimine, and various agrochemicals.
  • Wood Preservation: A critical component in copper-based wood preservatives used to protect timber from rot and insects.
  • Metalworking Fluids: Utilized as a corrosion inhibitor and pH buffer in industrial machining fluids.

By End-User Industry

  • Oil & Gas: Significant consumption for gas sweetening and carbon capture.
  • Consumer Goods: Widespread use in household cleaning and hygiene products.
  • Agriculture: Intermediate for the production of herbicides and pesticides.
  • Construction: Application in wood treatment and as a cement grinding aid.

Top Key Players List

The market is led by major petrochemical and specialty chemical corporations:

  • The Dow Chemical Company: A global leader with significant production capacity and a focus on gas treating applications.
  • BASF SE: Offers a wide range of ethanolamines with a focus on high-purity grades and chemical intermediates.
  • INEOS Oxide: A major European producer serving the detergents and industrial chemical sectors.
