Ethylenediamine Market Analysis:

The ethylenediamine market is experiencing robust growth, driven by its wide-ranging applications across various sectors like agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and personal care. It is a key ingredient for the production of a chelating agent called EDTA which is extensively used in cosmetic industry, pharmaceutical industry, food industry and water treatment process.

The agrochemical sector heavily demands ethylenediamine to produce fungicides and herbicides. For instance, Mancozeb is a broad-spectrum contact fungicide which produces the majority of amines as ethylenediamine. Another example is of fungicide Zineb which uses ethylenediamine to dissolve and strip away bivalent metals like zinc or manganese.

Market growth of ethylenediamine is also influenced by its application in pharmaceutical industry in the synthesis of various drugs. Company like BASF manufactures ethylenediamine for its use as bleach activator, crop protection product, binders in printing inks, etc.  In 2021, BASF had 39% of its sales in Europe followed by Asia Pacific and North America. 

Ethylenediamine Market Trends:

Increasing Demand in Pharmaceuticals

The pharmaceutical industry is one of the major drivers of the ethylenediamine market. It is used in production of various antihistamines and antituberculosis drugs. In recent years, 1,2-ethylenediamine has emerged as a new and promising TB drug. It was developed after screening 63,238 drug candidates. Ethambutol is one of the ethylenediamine derived drug.

According to WHO (World Health Organization) 10.6 million people fell ill with tuberculosis while 1.3 million people died. Multidrug-resistant Tb remains a public health crisis and health security threat. WHO has named Ethambutol as one of the common antibiotics to treat TB.  According to the industry news, the global antituberculosis drug market is projected to reach USD 3.2 billion by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.3%. This huge demand of drugs due to rising TB cases will positively impact the market for ethylenediamine.

Expansion in Agrochemicals

The rising need for enhanced crop productivity to meet increasing global food demands is propelling the growth of the ethylenediamine market. Ethylenediamine and its derivate are required by agrochemical sector to produce herbicides. For instance, glyphosate-based herbicides use ethylenediamine to improve the shelf life and efficacy and stabilize the formulation. It is used as an effective adjuvant to allow higher glyphosate loading. They also significantly aid in reducing toxicity profile of the glyphosate formulation.

Since glyphosate herbicides are among the world’s most widely used herbicides, they are completely dependent on ethylenediamine for its production. Hence, it drives the market growth significantly.

Ethylenediamine is also demanded in the method of production of EDTA which is the major chelating agent in fertilizers production. This allows for the production of very pure form of the salt of EDTA.

Latest Industry News:

• In 2023, Diamines and Chemicals Limited (DACL), which specializes in ethylenediamine and other related chemicals, received Consent to establish (CTE) from Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) for Proposed Plant of Formulation Chemicals and Lithium based derivatives.
• In 2024, AkzoNobel, a leading global paints and coatings company, which also produces ethylenediamine, completed its major capacity expansion at its Powder Coating Site in Como, Italy. It will help secure supply to customers across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Four new manufacturing lines are now operational following the €21 million project – two of them dedicated to automotive primers and two to architectural coatings. New bonding equipment lines have also been added, ensuring that the products meet and exceed industry standards.
