The N-Methyl Diethanolamine (MDEA) Market, estimated at USD 750.0 Mn in 2025, is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.65% and reach USD 1,101.9 Mn by 2032.
The industry is witnessing significant growth driven by increasing demand for advanced, reliable, and cost-effective solutions across key application areas. Rapid technological developments, shifting market dynamics, and heightened focus on quality and efficiency are shaping the competitive landscape. Furthermore, sustainability initiatives, regulatory support, and ongoing investments in research and innovation are expected to open new avenues for market players.
For instance, according to International Energy Agency’s report published in June 2025, global gas demand is predicted to grow at an average rate of 1.6% annually, reaching over 4,100 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2025, increasing from 3,740 bcm in 2025. However, environmental concerns related to MDEA and development of substitute products for MDEA is expected to restrain growth of the market. Major players are focusing on developing substitute products. For instance, ExxonMobil Catalysts and Licensing LLC and BASF Corporation jointly developed the new amine-based solvent for gas treatment in 2025. Furthermore, companies state that the pilot plant testing of this new solvent demonstrated superior performance characteristics over MDEA formulations.

Key Takeaways of the Market:
- Among application, gas treatment segment held the dominant position and contributed over 50.0% revenue share in the global N-methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) market in 2025. MDEA finds extensive applications in amine gas treatment to remove H2S and CO2from gases.
- MDEA is used as a curing agent for epoxy resins and increasing production of epoxy resins globally is expected to propel demand for MDEA. For instance, according to the report, ‘The Socio-economic Value of Epoxy Resins - Main Findings’ published by Epoxy Resin Committee (ERC) of ‘PlasticsEurope’ in August 2025, the members of the ERC manufacture around 258,000 tons of epoxy resins annually, in Europe. This in turn is likely to generate higher revenue for the market in the near future.
- In 2025, Asia Pacific accounted for the largest revenue share of 35.50 % in the global N-methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) market. Increasing crude oil imports in the region will increase refining activities in the region, which in turn is expected to drive growth of the MDEA market. MDEA is used in refineries for removal of sour gases from liquid hydrocarbons such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). According to Indian Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas Economics & Statistics Division, India imported 213.93 Mn metric tons of crude oil in 2016, which increased by 3.0% to reach 220.43 Mn metric tons by 2025.
- Few of the major manufacturers functioning in the market include DowDuPont Inc., BASF SE, Eastman Chemical Company, Huntsman Corporation, Ineos Group Limited, Amines & Plasticizers Ltd., Sintez OKA Group, Advance Petrochemicals Ltd., Maoming Yunlong Industrial Development Co. Ltd., Nippon Nyukazai Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Taihu New Materials Holding (Yancheng) Co., Ltd.
