Ethoxylates Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increasing use of alcohol ethoxylates is notably driving the ethoxylates market growth, although factors such as low potential use of ethoxylates in North America may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the ethoxylates industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Ethoxylates Market Driver

The increasing use of alcohol ethoxylates is a major driver fueling the ethoxylates market growth. Alcohol ethoxylates are primarily used to manufacture detergents, personal care and household products, and institutional and industrial cleaning products. Alcohol ethoxylates are biodegradable in nature. They are widely preferred by consumers, particularly in Europe. The increase in the use of ethoxylates in shampoos, conditioners, soaps, and house cleaners will propel the market demand during the forecast period. The substitution of NPEOs with alcohol ethoxylates in various applications, including detergents and cleaning products, is expected to have a positive impact on the market during the forecast period. Stringent regulations in regions such as Europe and North America have forced customers to switch from NPEO detergents to alcohol ethoxylate detergents. This change in the use of alcohol ethoxylates will have a positive impact on the market during the forecast period. The market growth is expected to rise during the forecast period because of the increase in the urban population with awareness among the people of various countries such as India, China, Australia, and others toward hygiene. APAC, a developing region, is expected to have a high demand for alcohol ethoxylates during the forecast period.

Key Ethoxylates Market Trend

New product developments are a major trend influencing the ethoxylates market growth. Nonylphenols (NPEOs) were widely used as surfactants for emulsion polymerization and latex stabilization. In Europe, NPEOs gave rise to environmental concerns, and some industry associations had already proactively taken measures to phase out these chemicals in their products. Therefore, the European Union Commission recommended the implementation of a risk reduction strategy, which saw the ban on all applications leading to direct emissions of NPEOs in wastewater and strict emission controls for all other technical processes using NPEOs as surfactants. The effectiveness of the risk reduction measures is being monitored by authorities. To reduce environmental problems with NPEOs, Cognis Holding Luxembourg, which was acquired by BASF, brought up new chemicals in the form of alkyl phenol-free emulsifiers (Disponil AFX-Series), which have favorable ecological profiles. These products are NPEO-free surfactants and emulsifiers and are now preferred as key ingredients in eco-friendly emulsion polymers and polymer dispersions in indoor paints and varnishes. They are environmentally compatible, derived from natural renewable resources, and biodegradable. They can be handled easily and are effective with regard to controlling particle size, film properties, and overall latex stability.

Key Ethoxylates Market Challenge

The low potential use of ethoxylates in North America is a major hindrance to the ethoxylates market growth. The use of ethoxylates is less in North America because of stringent regulations. The US is the least consumer of ethoxylates, for which the ethoxylates market in the country will have low demand during the forecast period. This is because of the regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the US. For alcohol ethoxylates, the use of C9-C11 ethoxylates is under restriction because they contain high levels of toxins as contaminants that are harmful to the environment. In Mexico, the use of ethoxylate is more, but due to developed countries such as the US and Canada, there is a low demand for ethoxylates in North America. This low demand for ethoxylates in North America will hamper the growth of the global market during the forecast period. In the US, the Food and drug administration (FDA) in the regulation CFR - Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 PART 172 regulates the use of ethoxylates as a surfactant. The European Union (EU) Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 on detergents mandates all the detergent manufacturing companies to provide the specifications of surfactants used in detergents. It also demands lab reports of its aerobic biodegradability. The growing demand for environment-friendly and sustainable surfactant products for different applications such as food, personal care, and others is expected to impede the demand for ethoxylates during the forecast period.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis

The outbreak of COVID-19 led to the closure of manufacturing units in the region in 2020. As a result, the sales of ethoxylates in the region declined. Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Switzerland, the UK, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden are some of the countries that were severely affected by the pandemic. The number of COVID-19 cases is increasing rapidly in the region. As of July 1, 2021, more than 5.74 million and 4.67 million COVID-19 cases were reported in France and the UK, respectively. The high incidence of COVID-19 in the second wave of the outbreak led to restrictions on the movement of people. Also, the disruptions in supply chains and logistics are delaying various business activities. Such factors will hinder the sales of ethoxylates in the region to some extent during the first half of the forecast period. However, the regional market will register accelerating growth in the latter half of the forecast period, owing to measures taken by the governments, such as vaccination drives and easing of lockdown restrictions, along with the resumption of normal business operations in the region.
