Polyethyleneimines Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Application, Regional Outlook, Competitive Strategies, And Segment Forecasts, 2019 To 2025

The global increase in polyethyleneimines applications such as cosmetics, detergents, and adhesives is expected to be a key driving factor for market growth over the next seven years. Growing paper and pulp industry in emerging countries such as China and India is expected to drive demand over the forecast period owing to its use in the paper manufacturing process as a wet strength agent. They are used as wet end agent and drainage aid for paper and board grades production such as multiply boards, newsprint, and fluting. They are further used as polyelectrolyte multilayer to provide a biocompatible surface coating on charged surfaces. Growing water treatment chemicals industry owing to depleting freshwater resources is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. Water treatment finds its major applications in growing industries such as power generation, steel, chemicals, and petroleum refining. These end-use industries growth is expected to drive water treatment chemicals demand. They are further used for specialized applications such as attachment promoter in weak anchoring cells and as a transfection reagent owing to its ability to condense DNA towards positively charged particles. Increasing cosmetics demand in emerging nations such as Asia Pacific owing to rising disposable income and population expansion is expected to drive market growth. Rising adhesives applications in segments such as coatings and lamination are projected to increase demand. Growing automotive and construction industries in countries such as China, India, and Brazil is anticipated to drive adhesives. High raw material costs such as aziridine is expected to hinder market growth over the forecast period.

Polyethyleneimines or polyziridine, is a polymer with an amine group and are soluble in hot water, ethanol, and chloroform. It is manufactured industrially and finds applications that are polycatonic chemical character derived. Different degrees of branching can be achieved through different reaction conditions.  Stringent environmental regulations regarding drinking water purity and wastewater discharge encourage synthetic water-soluble polymers usage. Polyacrylamides, polyamines and quaternary ammonium polymers are some of the polymers used as flocculants, coagulants, and precipitants in order to remove suspended pollutants from wastewaters and for drinking water treatment. They are subject to local, state, and federal regulations limiting discharge into the environment.

North America is projected to witness an increase in demand owing to its niche applications such as transfection. Growing end-use industries such as automotive and packaging are expected to increase adhesives and sealants demand, thereby augmenting market growth in the region. Stringent chemicals usage regulations in the regions are expected to slow down market growth in the region. Upgraded water purification technology in Europe is anticipated to complement market growth. Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the fastest and significant growth rate owing to increasing cosmetics demand in the region coupled with increasing per capita disposable income. Rising water quality standards for industries and rapid industrialization is expected to drive market growth in the region. Rising water treatments chemicals use in the oil & gas industry owing to increasing exploration activities in regions such as the South China Sea is anticipated to fuel market growth in Asia Pacific.

Key players operating in the global polyethyleneimines market include Alfa Aesar, Serva Electrophoresis GmbH, Leap Labchem Co. Ltd., and Hisunny Chemical Co.Ltd.
