Diethanolamine (DEA) Market to Observe Strong Development - 2025
Diethanolamine
or DEA is a colorless deliquescent crystalline or liquid amino
alcohol with the chemical formula (HOCH2CH2)2NH, with uses similar to
ethanolamine. DEA is an organic compound, which is white solid at
room temperature. The compound is attained when ammonia chemically
reacts with ethylene oxide. As a result of this reaction,
monoethanolamine and triethanolamine are also formed. Diethanolamine
belongs to alcohol and amine chemical groups. In the alcohol form,
diethanolamine is hygroscopic in nature which reacts to form esters,
whereas in the amine form, the compound is alkaline in nature and
forms soap and salt upon reaction with acids. This unique
characteristic of diethanolamine allows its usage in a wide range of
applications. DEA in an aqueous solution is extensively used as a gas
scrubbing agent. It is used to manufacture personal care products,
metal works, and textiles.

Report Overview @
Diethanolamine
is used as a raw material in various fatty acid amides that are used
as an ingredient in a wide range of personal care products. It is
also used in the textile industry as a scoring agent for wool and
silk owing to its low alkalinity. Low hygroscopic property makes DEA
an ideal compound to manufacture printing pastes. Diethanolamine is
used to manufacture corrosion inhibitors, and water soluble
lubricants. Diethanolamine is also used as a catalyst to provide
favorable conditions for the manufacturing of rigid polyurethane
foams.
Continuous
growing demand of glyphosate from the agricultural industry owing to
its unique characteristics of removing the weeds and unnecessary
grasses which pose a threat to the commercial grown crops is driving
the growth of DEA market. Demand for DEA in aqueous form is used as a
scrubbing agent is propelling the DEA market. Expansion of refineries
in the oil and gas sector in emerging economies where DEA is used to
treat the toxic hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide is also
propelling the DEA market.
Factors
such as threat from the rising weed resistance is hampering the
growth of the market. In emerging economies, the governments have
regulated DEA usage to a permissible limit owing to its harmful
effects such as respiratory infections, skin inflammation, and
uneasiness in eyes upon exposure to humans. This is another major
restraint hindering the diethanolamine market.
The
global Diethanolamine (DEA) market has been segmented based on
chemical reactions used, end-use application, and geography. In terms
of chemical reactions used, the diethanolamine DEA market is
segmented into catalytic hydrogenation, chloroethanol ammonia method,
and ethylene oxide ammonia method. Based on end-use applications, the
DEA market is divided into detergents, herbicides, textile finishing,
and personal care products.
In
terms of geography, the DEA market is segmented into North America,
South America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa. The
DEA market in North America is a rapidly growing. Asia Pacific is
also expanding at a considerable pace, after North America. China is
the largest manufacturer and consumer of DEA in Asia Pacific.
