概述
全球兩性醚化劑市場在2023年達到1.442億美元,預計到2031年將達到1.899億美元,在2024-2031年預測期間複合年成長率為3.5%。
塑膠擴大被紙基替代品取代,將成為預測期內推動兩性醚化劑需求的主要因素。新型紙包裝產品的應用也不斷成長,這將提振全球市場的長期成長前景。
全球紡織品市場的持續變化可能會為全球市場的未來成長創造困難的條件。孟加拉國等許多服裝出口國都在苦苦掙扎,這為中國鞏固其在出口市場的地位提供了機會。需求日益集中於中國將不利於全球市場的成長前景。

時尚潮流週期的縮短
隨著社群媒體的出現,快時尚的受歡迎程度急劇上升。一般來說,時尚潮流從推出到過時的周期為20年,但社群媒體將週期縮短至12-30週。時尚品牌擴大在夏季和秋季推出多種新設計。平價品牌和奢侈品牌都擴大採用「即看即買」的方式,這意味著在時裝秀上首次亮相的衣服幾乎可以立即購買。
當前流行週期縮短的趨勢意味著服裝製造商必須全年不斷生產大量服裝,這增加了對兩性醚化劑的需求。隨著時尚週期不斷變短,未來對兩性醚化劑的需求只會增加。
造紙新科技創新
紙張製造商正在使用新材料和工藝來使紙張更加耐用、防水、防污以及不含化學物質的製造流程。例如,Nekoosa Coated Products 推出了一款新的抗菌紙,添加了 Bio Master 銀離子技術,這是一種用於預防細菌的無毒、天然抗菌技術。
紙張所用油墨的配方也發生了變化,可以快速乾燥並防止弄髒。科勒紙業集團最近推出了 Middle Sheet Reacto 無碳紙。紙張內夾有一層薄薄的顏色接收層,與上層紙張釋放的顏色形成物質反應。中間的紙張還具有微膠囊塗層,因此可以使用創新的墨水技術在一張紙張上產生三份副本。
Eurocalco Digital 是 Lecta SA 的數位印刷應用的無碳紙系列。它重量輕,重量在 50-75 gsm 之間,並且由於經過特殊的油墨和紙張表面處理,可提供完全無污蹟的印刷。此紙張與各大品牌的噴墨和雷射印表機相容。
人們日益關注造紙污染
儘管紙張被定位為塑膠的環保替代品,但紙張生產也會產生一系列問題,其中最主要的是環境污染。造紙廠因排放硫化鈉、硫化氫、甲硫醇和二氧化氯等有毒化合物而臭名昭著。然而,它們也對水污染造成重大影響。多項研究確鑿證明造紙廢水中含有致癌和致突變污染物。
由於水污染事件日益嚴重,許多政府對造紙廠採取了嚴格的措施。許多違反反污染法的工廠被關閉,而大多數工廠無力承擔安裝新污染控制技術所需的大量資本投資。嚴格的新防污染法規將在短期內減少對兩性醚化劑的需求。
Overview
Global Amphoteric Etherifying Agents Market reached US$ 144.2 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 189.9 million by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
The growing substitution of plastic with paper-based alternatives will be a major factor in driving the demand for amphoteric etherifying agents during the forecast period. The application of new paper packaging products is also growing, which will boost the long-term growth prospects for the global market.
Ongoing changes in the global textile market will probably create difficult conditions for the future growth of the global market. Many garment exporters like Bangladesh are struggling and it has provided an opening for China to consolidate its position in the export market. The growing concentration of demand in China would be detrimental for the growth prospects of the global market.
Dynamics
Shortening of Fashion Trend Cycles
The fast fashion has witnessed a sharp increase in popularity following the advent of social media. Generally, fashion trends followed a 20 year cycle, from introduction to obsolescence, however, social media has shortened the cycle to 12-30 weeks. Fashion brands, are increasingly launching multiple new designs during the summer and fall seasons. Affordable and luxury brands are both increasingly adopting a 'see now, buy now' approach, which means that clothes that are debuted at fashion shows are almost immediately available for purchase.
The current trend of shortening fashion cycles means that clothing manufacturers have to constantly produce large volume of clothes throughout the year, which increases demand for amphoteric etherifying agents. As fashion cycles continue to become more shorter, it will only increase the demand for amphoteric etherifying agents in the future.
New Technological Innovations in Papermaking
Paper manufacturers are using new materials and processes to make paper more durable, water and dirt-resistant as well as chemical-free manufacturing processes. For instance, Nekoosa Coated Products had launched a new antimicrobial paper by adding bio master silver ion technology, a non-toxic, naturally occurring antimicrobial technology for bacterial prevention.
The formulation of the ink used in the paper is also changed to dry quickly and prevent smudging. Koehler Paper Group recently introduced the Middle Sheet Reacto carbonless paper. A thin color receiving layer is sandwiched within the paper which reacts with color-forming substances released by the upper sheet. The middle sheet also has a microcapsule coating, thus allowing a single sheet to generate three copies using innovative ink technology.
Eurocalco Digital is Lecta S.A.'s range of carbonless paper for digital printing applications. It has low weight, between 50-75 gsm and offers completely smudge-free printing due to special ink and paper surface treatment. The paper is compatible with every major brand of inkjet and laserjet printer.
Growing Concern About Pollution from Papermaking
Although paper is being positioned as an eco-friendly alternative to plastics, paper production generates its own set of problems, chief among which is environmental contamination. Paper mills are notorious for emitting toxic compounds like sodium sulfide, hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan and chlorine dioxide. However, they also contribute signficantly towards water pollution. Multiple studies have conclusively proved that papermill wastewater contains carcinogenic and mutagenic pollutants.
Alarmed by the growing incidence of water pollution, many governments have instituted strict measures for papermills. Many mills in violation of anti-pollution laws were shut down, whereas most mills couldn't afford the extensive capital investment needed to install new pollution control technologies. The strict new anti-pollution regulations will reduce demand for amphoteric etherifying agents in the short term.
The global amphoteric etherifying agents market is segmented based on type, application and region.
Papermaking is the Largest Application for Amphoteric Etherifying Agents
Among all applications, paper stands out due to the high amount of demand placed upon paper products globally. Developed and emerging countries alike are switching towards paper-based substitutes for plastic packaging. Even during the age of digitization, the demand for printing paper continues to increase steadily.
Textiles are also witnessing a surge in demand, though the overall figures are still lesser than the papermaking industry. The rise of fast-fashion trends has been one of the main reasons behind the spurt in demand for amphoteric etherifying agents from textile manufacturers. The rise of ethnic fashion trends is also another factor in raising demand.
Asia-Pacific Poised for Significant Growth During the Forecast Period
The papermaking industry will be the chief source of growth for amphoteric etherifying agents during the forecast period. India and China will be among the largest domestic markets for these agents, considering their well-established paper, textile and chemical industries. However, outside of big markets, the demand for amphoteric etherifying agents in Asia-Pacific has run into a crisis.
Bangladesh, one of the largest textile exporters in the region, has been faced with declining textile exporters due to an increase in natural gas prices and an overall increase in inflation. Many smaller garment manufacturers have gone bankrupt due to these difficult market conditions. The market demand for amphoteric etherifying agents will likely remain subdued over the short and medium term.
The pandemic created a major period of uncertainty for the global amphoteric etherifying agent market. Demand from the textile industry witnessed a major decline, as it was affected by pandemic lockdowns due to labor shortages and production disruptions. Paper manufacturers did witness a notable increase in demand, especially due to growing consumer interest in disposable paper-based hygiene products and cutlery.
Overall global demand witnessed a gradual and steady recovery in the aftermath of the pandemic. However, with the advent of the war in Ukraine, energy prices continued to remain high, thus leading to challenging market conditions for many end-users. How well these challenging conditions are addressed will determine the future course of the global market.
The Russia-Ukraine war created significant volatility in global energy prices which affected textile and paper production in developing countries. Much of the global production of these commodities is carried out in emerging nations that are dependent on energy imports. A steep increase in global energy prices raised input costs for local manufacturers, thus depressing demand for amphoteric modifying agents.
Chinese chemical and textile manufacturers have a huge amount of large spare capacity that can easily nullify the rise in input costs. If global energy markets witness a sustained period of high prices, it is likely that more and more of the textile and paper manufacturing capacity will shift from other emerging countries like India and Bangladesh to China.
The major global players in the market include Dongying Zeao Chemical Co., Ltd., Delin New Materials, Hefei TNJ Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., SKW Quab Chemicals, Shandong Guofeng Junda Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., Haihang Industry Co., Ltd, Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd., Dongying Nuoer Chemical Co., Ltd, Weifang Yukai Chemical Co., Ltd. and Wuxi Cima Science Co., Ltd.
The global amphoteric etherifying agents market report would provide approximately 53 tables, 43 figures and 182 Pages.
