Over the last ten years, LAB had been pressured by the high cost of petroleum and competing surfactants gained ground in its markets. Valued at $6.3 billion in 2013, the largest component in the market is demand in Asia which accounts for 50 percent of usage. Asia is growing at 3.2 percent annually. These are among the findings of Detergent Alkylates - World Markets to 2025. The comprehensive study was published in July 2015 and is the sixth in a series of multiclient studies on LAB by Colin A. Houston & Associates since the mid-1980s. How to Subscribe22 The report compares the economics of five different plant configurations in two countries: the U.S. and India. Integrated and non-integrated economics are compared as well as the HF and Detal-Plus® catalyst systems. For over 50 years, LAB has been the most widely used surfactant intermediate. The LAB market has continued to grow over the last decade, led by Asia. Competing surfactants have lost economic advantage as LAB prices have corrected with oil prices since the end of 2014. Asian consumption is forecast to grow 3.2 percent annually through 2025. A capacity buildup in China has driven a surplus that is being exported to a wide number of areas. The report details trade movements from producer countries to customer markets in more than 50 different countries. Ex-regional trade has grown from 18 percent of production in 2006 to 22 percent in 2013, notably from the Middle East and West Europe. China’s ex-regional trade has also grown over the period. Detergent Alkylates - World Markets to 2025 3 Detergent Alkylates - World Markets to 2025 includes a detailed global analysis of LAB and its sulfonated derivatives by region. The study reports on consumption and trends, as well as competing materials. It evaluates historical, current and future supplies (based on current announcements) in each region and documents trade by country for 2013. Growth of LAB use is supported by increased living standards and a corresponding rise in per capita detergent consumption in the developing areas. In addition, the ongoing conversions from branched alkylates and soap use support demand. Spare LAB represents an opportunity for the second and third tier detergent producers to expand their business and erode the use of soap-based products. New product types that favor LABbased formulations have given a temporary boost in the North American market. The study provides a full view of all facets of the detergent alkylate industry: raw material supplies and requirements, producers, regional markets, surfactant consumption, environmental issues, and sulfonation capacities. It provides the outlook for LAB and derivatives on a regional and global basis in the context of formulation issues, consumer preference, competition with other surfactants, demographics, and environmental and customer-related issues. Other developments in the evolution of detergent ingredients represent challenges for LAB usage. For one, increased reliance on enzymes in cleaning systems is reducing demand for surfactants. The recent wave of new detergent alcohol capacity has resulted, at times, in a surplus of more than a million tons. Fortunately these new supplies have limited ability to replace LAB’s key applications. Competition between the primary surfactants is described in a chapter on End Markets. The subscription price for this study is $24,500. The following pages contain the Table of Contents and other details. Please contact us for further details, or if you have any questions. The recent high priced plateau of crude oil left the economics of LAB production vulnerable to ethylene- and vegetable oil-based products. However, the volatility of vegetable-based oils has limited the effect on the LAB industry during the past five years. With oleo-based surfactants no longer undercutting the petroleum-derived economics, the outlook for LAB use has improved. Technical developments have provided some new opportunities for LAB. The development of novel feedstocks could reposition LAB as a surfactant intermediate derived from renewable sources. The opportunity of modified LAB should not be overlooked, especially as the technology comes off patent and the practice of low temperature washing becomes more widespread. 4 Detergent Alkylates - World Markets to 2025 DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY Detergent Alkylates - World Markets to 2025 is a comprehensive study which details the production, capacity, trade and supply/demand balance by region for LAB. Major factors affecting the outlook are examined including raw material requirements, surfactant consumption trends, novel technological developments, production costs, prices, sulfonation capacity, and environmental issues, among others. Historical and forecast consumption of LABS is reviewed in depth for the 2005-2025 period by application and end use, incorporating an understanding of the formulation trends, competition with alcohol-based surfactants, consumer preferences and customer-oriented requirements. A brief discussion of each of the main chapters is provided below. Detergent Alkylates - World Markets to 2025 5 CHAPTER ONE TABLE OF CONTENTS I.
