液体カチオンエーテル化剤の世界市場

概要

液体カチオンエーテル化剤の世界市場は、2023年に2億5,240万米ドルに達し、2031年には3億7,860万米ドルに達すると予測され、予測期間2024年のCAGRは5.2%で成長する見込みです。

特に、バングラデシュ、カンボジア、ラオスなどの低開発アジア諸国が低レベルの工業化を推進するにつれて、繊維産業や製紙産業からの需要が増加しており、予測期間中、液体カチオンエーテル化剤の需要を促進すると思われます。

世界の液体カチオンエーテル化剤市場の長期的な成長の可能性は、この分野における画期的な技術革新の欠如によって妨げられています。新しい化学製剤を商品化するまでのリードタイムが長いことを考えると、開発パイプラインに主要製品がないことは、価値主導型の市場成長を追求する上での課題となると思われます。

ダイナミクス

製紙用非毒性化学物質への要求の高まり

製紙工場からの大気汚染が最大の懸念事項であったが、製紙工場からの流出水汚染も近年関心が高まっています。2023年8月に発表されたインドのラジャスタン中央大学の研究者による論文によると、製紙工場からの流出水には、クロロフェノール、クロロカテコール、クロロリグニン、クロログアヤコール、フラン、シアン、ダイオキシン、重金属など、さまざまな難分解性の汚染物質が含まれています。

液体カチオンエーテル化剤は、製紙工程でセルロース中の原料デンプンを加工する際に改質するための補助添加剤です。また、他の工程ではサイズ剤や濾過助剤としても利用されています。カチオンエーテル化剤は毒性がなく、固形廃棄物と結合する能力があるため、紙パルプ産業からの需要が増加しています。

廃水に関する環境規制の強化

新興諸国における行き当たりばったりの都市化は、未処理の廃棄物をそのまま水域に放流する、未整備の下水システムにつながっています。さらに、取締りが緩いため、新興国の多くの工業工場が未処理の廃水を投棄しています。深刻化する水質汚染により、各国政府は廃水の違法排出を厳しく取り締まる必要に迫られています。

中国のように慢性的に水質汚染の影響を受けている国では、産業界や自治体に対し、水域に排水する前に最低基準の水質を確保することを義務付ける特別法が施行されています。各国政府もまた、廃水発生量の急激な増加に対応するため、廃水処理施設の拡張に投資しています。廃水品質に関する厳格な環境基準の施行が増加していることから、予測期間中、液体カチオンエーテル化剤の需要は拡大すると思われます。

生産率の低下

液体カチオンエーテル化剤は、限られた産業でニッチな用途を持つ特殊化学品です。そのため、他の特殊化学品に比べて生産量はすでに限られています。多くの化学メーカーは、産業用途が限定され、収益のごく一部を占めるに過ぎない化学物質の生産拡大のために大規模な設備投資を行うことはないです。

生産における問題は、近年、主にCOVID-19パンデミック、ロシア・ウクライナ戦争、イスラエルの対ハマス戦争によるサプライチェーンの混乱によって、さらに深刻化しています。このような混乱はさらに生産不足を招き、メーカーは拡大する市場の需要を生かすことができなくなります。

Overview

Global Liquid Cationic Etherification Agents Market reached US$ 252.4 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 378.6 million by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

The growing demand from textile and papermaking industries, especially in as underdeveloped Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Cambodia and Laos push towards low-level industrialization, will propel the demand for liquid cationic etherification agents during the forecast period.

The long term growth potential for the global liquid cationic etherification agents market is hampered by the lack of breakthrough innovation within the sector. Given the long lead times for commercializing new chemical formulations, the lack of major products in the developmental pipeline would present challenges for pursuing value-driven market growth.

Dynamics

Growing Requirement of Non-Toxic Chemicals for Paper Production

Although air pollution from paper mills has been of primary concern, the runoff water contamination from paper mills has also attracted growing concern in recent years. According to a paper published in August 2023, by researchers from Central University of Rajasthan, India, various refractory pollutants are found in paper mill discharges, including chlorophenols, chlorocatechols chlorolignin, chloroguaiacol, furan, cyanide, dioxins and heavy metals.

Liquid cationic etherification agents are auxiliary additives used in papermaking process for modifying raw starch in cellulose during processing. It is also utilized as a sizing agent and filtration aid in other processes. Given its non-toxic nature and its ability to bond with solid waste, the demand for liquid cationic etherification agents has increased from the pulp and paper industry.

Increasingly stringent environmental regulations for wastewater

Haphazard urbanization in emerging countries has led to ill-developed sewage systems that discharge untreated waste straight into water bodies. Furthermore, due to lax enforcement, many industrial plants in emerging countries dump untreated wastewater. Growing incidences of extreme water pollution have forced governments to enforce strict norms against illegal discharge of wastewater.

Countries like China, which are chronically affected by water pollution, special laws and have been implemented requiring industries and municipal bodies to ensure minimum standards of wastewater quality before discharging it into water bodies. Governments are also investing in expanding wastewater treatment facilities to cope with an exponential increase in wastewater generation. The growing enforcement of stringent environmental standards for wastewater quality will augment demand for liquid cationic etherification agents during the forecast period.

Lower Rate of Production

Liquid cationic etherification agents are specialty chemicals with niche applications in a limited range of industries. Therefore, the production of these agents was already limited as compared to other specialty chemicals. Many chemical manufacturers simply do not undertake major capital investment in expanding production of chemicals with limited industrial applications and which forms a very small part of their revenue.

Problems in production have been further compounded in recent years due to supply chain disruptions, mainly on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia-Ukraine war as well as Israel's war against Hamas. Such disruptions will further lead to production shortfalls, rendering manufacturers unablet to capitalize on growing market demand.

Segment Analysis

The global liquid cationic etherification agents market is segmented based on type, application and region.

Water Treatment Continues to Account for a Large Share of the Global Market

Liquid cationic etherification agents are used in wastewater treatment as flocculants, since they bind to suspended solid particles. As governments in developing and underdeveloped countries alike push to improve and expand wastewater treatment infrastructure, the share of water treatment industry in the demand for liquid cationic etherification agents will only increase over the upcoming years.

Furthermore, the demand for these agents from the textile and pulp and paper industries is only concentrated in countries and regions with a large-scale presence of these industries. Therefore, they account for a relatively smaller share of the global market, whereas given the universality of water treatment gives it a larger market share.

Geographical Penetration

Asia-Pacific Will Continue to Have a Major Market Share

Asia-Pacific is forecasted to have the highest share within the global liquid cationic etherification agents' market, primarily due to the region's strong presence in the textile, paper and chemical manufacturing industries. Shifting global trends, encouraging government policies as well as growing capital investment by these industries in production capacity expansion.

For instance, in April 2023, India announced a new production linked incentives (PLI) policy for the textile industry, which is expected to kick in from early 2024. The policy is intended to boost the production and export of textiles from the country. A similar scheme is being planned to boost the country's value-added chemical exports. Asia-Pacific will continue to retain the largest share in the global market as other countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia also undertake extensive industrialization policies.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The global liquid cationic etherification agents' market experienced various pitfalls due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper and textile industries, some of the largest end-users of these agents, faced significant disruptions due to the pandemic on account of labor shortages and cutbacks in production. Consequently, the pandemic period witnessed a significant suppression in demand for liquid cationic etherification agents.

The period was also marked by significant economic uncertainty, which saw the chemical industry also reduce its demand for etherification agents. Only water treatment industry continued to witness stable demand during this period. The overall market situation has improved in the post-pandemic period and nearly all major industries are witnessing a growth in demand.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

The Russia-Ukraine war sent ripples through the energy market of Europe. Although the volatility in global energy markets has eased, disruptions to the European market has continued. A steep increase in energy prices is prompting the shift of production of liquid cationic etherification agents from Europe to Asia-Pacific.

In Russia, sanctions by U.S. and European nations have led to an exodus of investment and cooperation in the sector, forcing many industries to resort to grey market imports or source from Chinese suppliers. Disruptions to normal trade have also led to an increase in agent prices for various industrial end-users.
