Market Overview:
The global linear alkylbenzene (LAB) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the LAB market can be attributed to the increasing demand for detergents and industrial cleaners across the globe. Additionally, stringent environmental regulations regarding VOC emissions are also propelling the demand for LABs as they have low volatility and emit negligible amounts of pollutants. Based on type, the global linear alkylbenzene (LAB) market is segmented into C10-C12, C13-C15, and others. The C10-C12 segment is estimated to account for a major share of the LAB market in 2018 owing to its high demand from detergent manufacturers. By application, the global LAB market is divided into detergents, industrial cleaners, personal care products, agrochemicals & pharmaceuticals intermediates), and others segments. The detergents application segment accounted for a majority share of the global LAB market in 2017 and is projected to grow at a significant rate during forecast period owing to rising consumer awareness about benefits offered by using ecofriendly products such as laundry Detergents .
Product Definition:
A linear alkylbenzene (LAB) is an organic compound that consists of a benzene ring attached to a linear hydrocarbon chain. LABs are important intermediates in the production of alkylated benzenes, which are used as solvents, additives, and fragrances.
C10-C12:
C10-C12 is a range of linear alkylbenzene, which is majorly used in the production of LAB. C10-C12 LAB has applications in paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, construction materials (paints), lubricants and greases, cleaning products (degreasers) as well as petrochemical feedstock such as ethylene. The global demand for C10-C12 was estimated to be 1.
C13-C15:
C13-C15 is also known as linear alkylbenzene. It is a colorless liquid with an odor similar to gasoline. C13-C15 is used in the production of LAB, which has applications in paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, polyurethane foams, synthetic leathers such as neoprene rubber (polymer), cleaning products among others.
Application Insights:
Detergents was the dominant application segment and accounted for over 40% of the global market volume in 2017. Detergent manufacturers are increasingly using LAB as it is milder on skin than other surfactants and helps in removing dirt, oil, and grease from the fabric without dissolving proteins or emulsifiers present in them.
The product has a pungent smell which can be tolerated by humans but not by animals. It is used as an industrial cleaner to remove greasy stains from hands before they are fed into paper machines or textile finishing equipment where they may cause damage to sensitive components due to contact with fatty substances.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to witness a significant growth rate of 5.6% over the forecast period, owing to rapid industrialization and increasing detergent consumption in emerging economies such as China and India.
North America emerged as one of the major consumers for LAB products due to high production levels coupled with stringent government regulations on VOC emissions from conventional petroleum-based chemicals.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, and lubricants
- Rising awareness about the benefits of LAB over other alternatives
- Growing investments in research and development to develop new applications for LAB
- Expansion of distribution networks by key players in the market
- Emergence of new players in the market
