Asia-Pacific Ethyleneamines Market Drivers
Increasing Automobile Production:
The majority of Ethyleneamine applications
are in the automotive industry as an additive in fuels and lubricants for
ash-less emissions. Triethylenetetramine is primarily added to lubricants to
stop the buildup of sludge and deliquesce deposits in internal combustion
engines. The automotive industry is growing in Asia-Pacific countries, for
illustration, according to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian
automotive industry is expected to reach Rs. 16.16-18.18 trillion
(US$ 251.4-282.8 billion) by 2026. According to the International Trade Administration
(ITA), China continues to be the world’s largest vehicle market by both annual
sales and manufacturing output, with domestic production expected to reach 35
million vehicles by 2025. According to the International Organization of Motor
Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the total automotive vehicle production in China
rose by 3%, a 30% increase in India, 8% growth in Taiwan and 63% growth in
Indonesia for the year 2021 compared to the previous year. With the
increasing automobile production, the demand for ethyleneamines is also increasing
in the region, thereby acting as a driver for the ethyleneamines market during
the forecast period.
Growing Production of Crop Within the Same Area of Arable Land:
Due to the use of ethyleneamines in the production of several crop
protection products, the steady growth of the agrochemicals industry is
anticipated to strongly support the growth of the Asia-Pacific Ethyleneamines
industry. Because it can treat a wide range of fungal diseases, ethylenediamine
(EDA), one of the main types of ethyleneamines, is a crucial raw material in
the production of mancozeb, an efficient fungicide used on many different types
of crops. The most widely used insecticide in the world, imidacloprid, is also
produced using it. Mancozeb and imidacloprid are two pesticides that are
frequently used in crop production because they are crucial in supplying crops
with the nutrients they need to grow and produce more crops. Global crop
production is increasing as world population growth continues. The total
production of primary crops increased by 53 percent between 2000 and 2019,
reaching a record high of 9.4 billion tonnes in 2019, according to the Food and
Agriculture Organization's (FAO) Statistical Yearbook of 2021. In comparison to
2000, this is an increase of 3.2 billion tonnes. Agricultural production has
increased in recent years, but more so because of higher yields per unit area
than from the addition of new farmland. By 2030, it is advised that to meet the
demand for grain and feed the growing population on the available arable land,
annual crop production and yield should increase within the same area of arable
land. To increase crop yield on the same amount of arable land and give crops
the right nutrients, the demand for pesticides like mancozeb and imidacloprid
will increase significantly. This demand will undoubtedly fuel the growth of
the ethyleneamines market during the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific Ethyleneamines Market Challenges
Health Risks Associated with Ethyleneamines:
Humans with acute inhalation exposure to ethyleneamines experience
severe inflammation and irritation of the respiratory tract. Humans who have
experienced acute inhalation exposure may experience eye tearing and burning,
sore throats, nasal secretions, bronchitis, shortness of breath and lung
edema. Ethyleneamines is a powerful blistering agent that can burn the skin to
the third degree. Additionally, it is corrosive to eye tissue and can leave
conjunctival scarring and permanent corneal opacity. Ethyleneamines may also
contain solvents, which increase the risk of fire and explosion. Drums
containing ethyleneamines may leak during a fire and greatly increase the
fire's intensity. As a result, it is anticipated that the toxicity risks
associated with ethyleneamines will restrain the market's expansion in the
Asia-Pacific region.
