The tertiary amines market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.71 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to infrastructure development, increasing water treatment needs, pharmaceutical manufacturing growth, innovation in surfactant production, environmentally friendly formulations. Major trends in the forecast period include utilization of tertiary amines in gas treatment processes, application of tertiary amines in polyurethane catalysts, shift towards tertiary amines as additives in lubricant formulations, development of tertiary amines for agricultural chemicals, adoption of tertiary amines in the textile and leather industries.

The anticipated growth in the tertiary amines market is expected to be fueled by the increasing demand for personal care products in the future. Personal care products, which encompass items intended for cleaning, grooming, enhancing attractiveness, or modifying physical appearance, are anticipated to witness rising demand. Tertiary amines, including Triethanolamine (TEA), play a crucial role in personal care products such as skin lotions, creams, cosmetics, moisturizers, eye gels, and shaving foams as pH adjusters and surfactants. For example, a study by Cosmetics Europe in March 2022 revealed that 72% of European consumers consider personal care products highly important in their daily lives, and the average consumer uses over seven different cosmetics and personal care products daily. This underscores the growing global demand for personal care products, thereby driving the tertiary amines market.

The growth of the tertiary amines market is expected to be propelled by the increasing demand in the textile industry. The textile industry, covering the entire process from design and production to processing and distribution of fibers, yarns, fabrics, and finished textile products, is a key contributor. Tertiary amines are employed in the textile industry to facilitate the even dispersal of dyes, ensuring uniform and consistent coloration in textiles. According to Textile World's report in May 2023, textile and apparel exports in the United States reached $34 billion in 2022, up from $28.4 billion in 2021. This surge in demand for the textile industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the tertiary amines market.

The tertiary amines market is currently witnessing a surge in popularity, with product and process innovations emerging as prominent trends. Leading companies in the market are prioritizing the development of industry-specific products and processes to meet the evolving demands of customers. Notably, in April 2022, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign unveiled a groundbreaking discovery - a carbon-hydrogen amination cross-coupling reaction. This discovery enhances the production of tertiary amines, potentially paving the way for the creation of new medications to address currently incurable diseases.

Major players in the tertiary amines market are actively investing in the construction of new production plants to drive market revenues. The primary focus is to meet the rising demand for sterilizing/cleaning applications and various industrial uses. For example, in February 2022, Kao Corporation, a Japanese chemical company, announced plans to build a new tertiary amine production plant in Pasadena, Texas, United States. Utilizing unique catalyst technology, Kao aims to leverage high-quality tertiary amines to address the growing market needs. This expansion into the U.S. market underscores the company's commitment to enhancing supply chain efficiency, reducing CO2 emissions, and minimizing its ecological footprint. The new production plant, set to commence operations in January 2025, is expected to significantly strengthen Kao's presence in the U.S. market amid anticipated mid- to long-term growth.

In June 2023, Global Amines Company Pte. Ltd., a chemical company based in Singapore, acquired Clariant’s Quats business. This acquisition seeks to harness the strategic advantages of the joint venture by leveraging Clariant's extensive expertise in specialty chemicals alongside Wilmar's position as Asia's leading agribusiness, complemented by its global operations in the oleochemicals sector. Clariant AG, a Switzerland-based chemical firm, utilizes tertiary amines such as triethanolamine and Genamin in its operations.

Tertiary amines represent a class of amines characterized by having three radicals attached to three hydrocarbon groups within the molecule. These amines find applications in the production of diverse chemicals, including cosmetics, surfactants, disinfectants, and fuel oils. Additionally, tertiary amines serve as raw materials for synthesizing quaternary ammonium salts, various chemical derivatives, replacement processes, and amino group elimination.

For tertiary amines, the main product types include c-8 ta, c-10 ta, c-12 ta, c-14 ta, c-16 ta, and other products. C-8 ta is a clear, colorless liquid used as an ion-pairing agent in the quantitative estimation of thiazinamium methyl sulfate in pharmaceutical preparations. It finds applications in surfactants, biocides, floatation agents, corrosion inhibitors, emulsifiers, drilling materials, and more, spanning industries such as cleaning products, agriculture, personal care, petroleum, water treatment, plastics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and fibers.
