US demand for amines (excluding those used to produce other amines) is forecast to expand nearly 2.2 percent per annum to 3.1 billion pounds in 2016, valued at $4.1 billion.

1. US Amines Market to 2016
US demand to reach 3.1 billion pounds in 2016
US demand for amines (excluding those used to produce other amines) is forecast to expand nearly 2.2
percent per annum to 3.1 billion pounds in 2016, valued at $4.1 billion. Above average increases in
agricultural chemical amine demand will drive growth, as will healthy advances in the large cleaning
product and personal care markets. An improved outlook for construction spending will contribute to
above average growth in applications such as cement mixtures, coatings, epoxies, resins, and wood
treatments. However, maturity in markets such as petroleum operations and water treatment will
preclude faster growth for amines, as will a moderation in natural gas production and processing.
This study analyzes the US amines industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2001,
2006 and 2011, and forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by product (e.g., ethanolamines, alkylamines, fatty
amines, specialty amines, ethyleneamines) and market (e.g., agricultural chemicals, cleaning products,
personal care products, petroleum, natural gas processing, water treatment). The study also considers
market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and capacity
share, and profiles industry players.
Favorable economic conditions to benefit broad range of markets
Rising global demand for agricultural products -- for both food and industrial uses -- will continue to
support increased pesticide production, particularly as the planting of herbicide resistant crops
continues to expand. While efforts to reduce pesticide consumption through techniques such as
integrated pest management will have an impact, overall global pesticide demand will continue to rise,
boosting amine demand in pesticide exporting countries such as the US.
Improving economic conditions will lead to healthy growth in amine demand for cleaning and personal
care products, particularly as the unemployment rate continues to fall and consumers’ personal
economic positions continue to improve. Demand for amines in cleaning and personal care products fell
during the recession as businesses and consumers alike looked to reduce expenditures. However, the
decline was not as great as
in other markets, and quickly began to recover as the economy improved. The healthy growth going
forward will have the biggest impact on fatty amines, which are principally consumed in cleaning
product and personal care applications.
Following a protracted period of decline, construction activity in the US is expected to pick up
significantly going forward, which in turn will drive amine demand in a number of applications. Sales of
cement mixtures, coatings, composites, epoxies, resins, and wood treatments are all expected to
expand at an above average pace. Additionally, growth in coatings and resins will be driven by ongoing
robust demand for polyetheramines that are a primary component of polyurea coatings and
composites. The use of amines for composites and resins will also be supported by advances in wind
turbines and in the aerospace industry, though demand in these applications can be volatile due to their
dependence on government funding and subsidies.

2. Most amines to rise at pace close to overall average
While polyetheramines will experience the fastest growth going forward, it will be from a small base.
Most other amines will rise at a pace that is around, or just below, the overall average. Specialty and
ethylene amines will expand at the slowest pace, though this largely reflects the maturity of key markets
such as lubricants, petroleum operations, and water treatment. Additionally, demand for these amines
will be restrained by a slowdown in natural gas production and processing following the robust increases
in output that resulted from the widespread adoption of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling
technologies in shale formations.
