Global Fatty Acid Ethoxylate Market by Application (Household and Personal Care, Pharmaceuticals, Oilfield, Agrochemicals), by Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, Latin America) - Analysis and Forecast to 2019

Fatty acid ethoxylate come under the category of ethoxylates. They are produced by a process called ethoxylation, where fatty acids react with ethylene oxide (EO) to make a mixture of hydrogen esters. They are non-ionic surfactants and are used for cleaning applications in households and industries. They are used as cleaning agents in household applications such as laundering, dishwashing, and metal cleaning. They are also used in the cosmetics and personal care segment, where it is used as emulsifiers and solubilizers. Additionally, they are used in the textiles, agrochemicals, and paper industries. 

The global fatty acid ethoxylate market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.3% from 2014 to 2019. The drivers of the industry include the rise in the consumption of lifestyle goods in Asia-Pacific; the growing demand from the agrochemicals sector worldwide; and the increase in demand for personal and industrial cleaners in the emerging markets of the world. On the other hand, the saturated markets of the developed countries worldwide, along with the presence of substitutes for fatty acid ethoxylates, may restrain the growth of the global market in the near future.  

The Asia-Pacific region dominated the global market for fatty acid ethoxylate, having accounted for a 30.7% market share in 2014, followed by the European region, which held a market share of 27.6%.

An in-depth market share analysis, in terms of revenue, of the top companies is also included in the report. These numbers are arrived at based on key facts, annual financial information from SEC filings, annual reports, and interviews with industry experts, key opinion leaders such as CEOs, directors, and marketing executives.
