Ethanolamines are colorless, viscous organic compounds with the molecular formula HOCH2CH2NH2. These are used as feedstocks in the manufacture of monoethanolamines (MEA), diethanolamines (DEA) and triethanolamines (TEA), which find wide application in the production of emulsifiers, detergents, polishes, chemical intermediates, corrosion inhibitors, and pharmaceuticals. Diethanolamines are largely used as a feedstock in the production of agrochemicals, which are used to manufacture herbicides. Glyphosate is commonly used as an herbicides to kill insects, such as weeds, in agricultural fields.
Global Ethanolamines Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
In 2025, COVID-19 negatively impacted the market. However, the market has now been estimated to have reached pre-pandemic levels and is forecast to grow steadily in the future. The pandemic has led to a decrease in demand for ethanolamines due to its dependence on various industries such as detergents, textiles, and automotive, which have been affected by the pandemic. For example, the aminoethylethanolamine market has been negatively impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to its dependence on textile, automotive, and chemical industries. The influence of the novel coronavirus pandemic on the market is expected to continue to be a significant factor in the market's performance. The pandemic has caused uncertainty and fluctuations in the market, and its full impact is still being assessed. The market has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
