This, coupled with the rising global population and inflating income levels of people, is positively influencing the sales of AEEA around the world.

Expansion of construction industry stimulating market growth

AEEA is a key ingredient in the production of epoxy resins, which are used in the construction industry for various applications, including coatings, adhesives, and sealants. It can also be attributed to rapid urbanization, increasing infrastructure development, and rising number of renovation projects worldwide. AEEA has the ability to enhance the adhesive properties and durability of epoxy resins which makes it a preferred choice in the construction industry. As a result, the growing need for reliable and high-performance construction materials to meet the increasing infrastructure demands is impelling the growth of the market.

Growing need for effective corrosion protection in various industry verticals augmenting the market growth

AEEA is utilized as a corrosion inhibitor on account of its ability to form a protective film on metal surfaces, which prevents or minimizes corrosion. Industries, such as oil and gas, metalworking, and water treatment, consequently rely on corrosion protection to safeguard their equipment and infrastructure. With industrial activities expanding globally, there is an increase in the emphasis on maintaining the integrity and longevity of assets. Corrosion can lead to significant financial losses and safety hazards, which makes effective corrosion inhibitors crucial. Consequently, there is a rise in the use of AEEA as a cost-effective solution for corrosion protection to prioritize asset preservation and safety.
