Detergent Chemicals Market Trends, Size, Statistics (2022-30)
According to Nova one advisor, the global detergent chemicals market was valued at US$ 51.3 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ 118.39 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% over the forecast period 2021 to 2030.
Growth Factors:
Increasing demand for detergents from cosmetics, personal care, institutional and household end use industries is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. Rapid urbanization and increased disposable incomes have enabled consumers to spend more on household laundry cleaning products. Furthermore, increasing literacy rate and rising awareness among consumers regarding personal and household hygiene have augmented the penetration of laundry detergents. These factors indirectly point toward the increasing consumption of detergent chemicals in the coming years.
The raw material feedstock for these detergent chemicals majorly comprises of petrochemicals or crude oil derivatives such as linear alpha-olefins, linear alkyl benzene, and ethylene oxide. Key players involved in the production and marketing of crude oil derivatives include Reliance Industries Limited, Royal Dutch Shell, and SABIC. However, the emergence of bioethanol based on agricultural waste material, sugarcane, or corn lately has shifted the market trend toward bio-based raw materials.
Detergent chemicals are either produced naturally from oleochemicals derived from plant oils or synthetically from petrochemicals. Major petrochemical feedstock includes benzene and ethylene, which are derived from crude oil, while major oleochemicals feedstock includes palm kernel oil and coconut oil. The difference in the use of feedstock creates a difference in the selling price of the final chemical produce.
Constantly evolving rules and regulations managing the chemicals used in the production of detergents chemicals pose a potential restraint to the market growth. In addition, the volatility in the prices and availability of feedstock pose a challenge for manufacturers who are trying to deliver the product uninterruptedly.
