Morpholine Market Report 2026

The morpholine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.3 billion in 2025 to $4.54 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to chemical processing demand, rubber industry growth, pharmaceutical manufacturing expansion, textile processing usage, metal corrosion protection.

The morpholine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.63 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to water treatment infrastructure growth, specialty chemical demand, pharmaceutical R&D expansion, industrial maintenance needs, advanced solvent applications. Major trends in the forecast period include rising use in corrosion inhibition, growth in pharmaceutical synthesis, increased demand for rubber accelerators, expansion of water treatment chemicals, focus on high purity solvent grades.

The rise in demand for rubber is expected to propel the growth of the morpholine market going forward. Rubber is a versatile and elastic material derived either from natural latex or produced synthetically. Morpholine plays an important role in the rubber industry due to its chemical properties, serving as an accelerator, scorch retarder, and promoter of cross-linking during vulcanization, which enhances rubber strength and performance. For instance, in January 2023, the International Rubber Study Group (IRSG), a Singapore-based intergovernmental organization, projected global rubber demand to grow by 2.8% in 2023, followed by an annual growth rate of 2.4% from 2023 to 2031. Therefore, the rising demand for rubber is driving the growth of the morpholine market.

The increasing construction activities are expected to propel the growth of the morpholine market going forward. Construction activities cover the planning, designing, building, and maintenance of infrastructure such as buildings, roads, and bridges. Rapid urbanization is a key driver, as expanding city populations increase the need for residential, commercial, and infrastructural development. Morpholine supports construction applications by acting as a chemical intermediate in corrosion inhibitors, adhesives, and coatings - enhancing material durability and structural longevity. For instance, in July 2023, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the number of dwellings under construction in the March quarter of 2023 increased to 240,813 from 240,065 in 2022. Among these, new houses totaled 103,778 in 2023, up from 101,240 in the previous year. Therefore, rising construction activity is driving the growth of the morpholine market.

Major companies operating in the morpholine market are focusing on product approvals such as ISCC PLUS certification to provide reliable and sustainable solutions to customers. ISCC PLUS certification ensures that raw materials and products derived from biomass are produced responsibly, meeting environmental and social sustainability standards. For instance, in February 2023, Nippon Shokubai Co. Ltd., the parent company of Nippon Nyukazai Co. Ltd., a Japan-based chemical manufacturing company, obtained ISCC PLUS certification for products including acrylic acid, ethylene oxide, and superabsorbent polymers. This certification supports the use of biomass-derived raw materials in products such as disposable diapers, detergents, and other goods, and aligns with the company’s efforts to expand environmentally friendly offerings - including those related to morpholine.
