India Ethanolamine Market

India Ethanolamine Market Overview:

The India ethanolamine market size reached USD 130.0 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 190.0 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% during 2025-2033. The market is expanding steadily, supported by an increasing demand from agrochemicals, personal care, and surfactant industries. Additionally, domestic manufacturers are enhancing capacity and supply reliability amid growing interest in localized sourcing and reduced dependence on global supply chains, thereby supporting the market demand.

India Ethanolamine Market Trends:

Growth in Agrochemical Production Driving Monoethanolamine Demand

India’s ethanolamine market is witnessing increased demand, particularly for monoethanolamine (MEA), as domestic agrochemical production scales up. MEA is a key raw material for manufacturing herbicides such as glyphosate, which is widely used in Indian agriculture to control broadleaf weeds. With rising pressure to enhance crop productivity and manage labor shortages, herbicide consumption is increasing, especially in states with large-scale farming. For instance, as per industry reports, India’s herbicide market is projected to reach USD 558.17 Million by 2029, up from USD 361.85 Million in 2024, reflecting the steady market demand. Additionally, agrochemical manufacturers are expanding production capacity to meet both local and export demand, and this is directly pushing the need for MEA. Moreover, regulatory clarity and approvals for new herbicide formulations are contributing to a stable growth environment. Manufacturers are securing long-term supply agreements for ethanolamines to manage cost and availability, as global supply chains remain volatile. Domestic production of ethanolamines is also improving, reducing reliance on imports. Furthermore, the growing agrochemical segment is helping sustain consistent MEA demand, and this trend is expected to continue as precision farming and commercial agriculture practices become more widespread across India’s farming regions.

Surging Demand from the Personal Care and Surfactant Industry

The personal care and homecare sectors in India are driving the demand for ethanolamines, particularly diethanolamine (DEA) and triethanolamine (TEA), used in surfactants, emulsifiers, and pH stabilizers. With rising consumer spending on skincare, shampoos, detergents, and cleaning products, manufacturers are scaling up production to meet growing demand. For instance, according to IMARC Group, India’s skincare market reached USD 8.4 Billion in 2024 and is expected to grow steadily, reaching USD 17.1 Billion by 2033, significantly impacting the market demand. Moreover, ethanolamines enable formulation flexibility, allowing producers to improve product consistency and shelf life. Domestic formulators are increasingly adopting TEA and DEA to meet evolving formulation requirements for new product launches in cosmetics, personal hygiene, and premium cleaning products. The trend is further supported by rising awareness around hygiene and grooming, boosted by urbanization and social media influence. However, as multinational and local FMCG players expand operations in India, the demand for consistent, high-purity ethanolamines is growing. Several domestic chemical companies are responding with increased production and better quality control. Furthermore, the shift towards sulfate-free and milder formulations in personal care is prompting innovation in surfactant blends, keeping ethanolamines in steady demand within this fast-moving sector.
