Top Emerging Trends Of Esterquats Market Progress Forecast 2024 |Grand View Research, Inc.
The global esterquats
market size is expected to reach USD 3.45 billion by 2024, expanding at
a CAGR of 11.0%, according to a new
report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing demand for fabric care products
due to rising awareness among consumers toward fabric care and increasing
investment by market players is likely to boost the demand for esterquats.
Factors such as supportive government
regulations that stress on the use of environmental-friendly products are
expected to have a positive impact on market growth over the forecast period.
The technological advancements in esterquats over the past years have led to
the development of ultra-concentrated products with 20%-25% solid content. This
has facilitated high performance of the product and availability of esterquats
at a reasonable price. North America and Europe are likely to witness an
increase in demand for concentrated esterquats for industrial applications.
The market has witnessed numerous
advancements in manufacturing process since inception. Palm-based esterquats derived from vegetable
and renewable raw material sources are largely used in comparison to
animal-based raw materials. In addition, methyl ester route is being used
instead of the fatty acid route, thereby improving the efficiency and reducing
batch process time. Manufacturers are implementing various methods to balance
thermal stability and hydrolysis rate of esterquats, which in turn is expected
to propel market growth over the next eight years.
Key companies
involved in the production and supply of esterquats are Stepan Company, Kao
Chemicals Europe, Evonik Industries, AkzoNobel, Chemelco International B.V.,
ABITEC Corporation, BASF SE, Lubrizol, Italmatch Chemicals, and Clariant
Chemicals. In July 2015, BASF in collaboration with Solazyme Inc. launched
first commercial microalgae oil-based surfactant for use in personal care and
home

presence and industry share
The
major application segments of the esterquats market are fabric care, personal
care, and industrial applications. Fabric care was the largest application,
accounting for 91.5% of the revenue share in 2015. Growing awareness regarding
use of the chemical as a fabric softener, which helps in maintaining the
quality and the texture of the cloth is anticipated to positively affect the
market growth.
Esterquats
are highly utilized in manufacturing of fabric softeners on account of their
superior properties which enhances the quality of textiles. The previously
developed fabric softeners were fatty acid based which would soften the cloth
but make it less absorbent. These softeners were non-biodegradable which led to
increase in demand for biodegradable and environment friendly fabric softener
ingredients.
The
usage of esterquats in softener formulations helped to gain added advantages of
excellent stability, good softening performance, solvent free, no odor and also
helps in getting a good ironing effect. The environmental exposure of textile
chemicals that contain esterquats is also less. The newly developed
softeners have been integrating perfumes to improve the scent of fabrics after
washing.
Factors
such as changing consumer lifestyle and increasing buying power are expected to
propel growth over the forecast period. Rising demand for washing machines is
also likely to aid market growth of fabric softeners.
Personal
care is anticipated to witness the fastest growth at a predicted CAGR of 12.4%,
in terms of volume, over the forecast period. Personal care products such as
beauty products, shampoos, shaving equipment, soaps, and shower gels play an
important role in a consumers life. Consumers prefer personal care products that
are efficient. This trend has prompted manufacturers to innovate new
formulations and preparation methods to integrate esterquats in numerous
personal care products.

Esterquats are used as cationic
surfactants in industrial applications such as washing, cleaning products, and
paper softening. The surface activity, substantively, antimicrobial, and
antistatic properties of esterquats make them a popular choice for use in
industrial applications. The use of cleaning solutions helps in preventing
corrosion and enhance the life of equipment.
Europe was the largest market for
esterquats with a share of 37.5% in 2015. Countries such as the UK, Germany,
Spain, and Italy are the major consumers in the region. The demand is majorly
driven by government regulations related to the use of eco-friendly products
for end-use applications. The availability of numerous variants of fabric
softeners offering consumer friendly characteristics as soft hand and mildness
are likely to augment the utilization of the product in the region.
Dryer sheets are highly popular as
fabric softeners in North America. About 85% to 90% of fabric softener sales in
the region is dryer sheet based. However, the market is likely to witness shift
in demand towards concentrated liquid fabric softeners which is expected to
propel increase in volume consumption over the forecast period. In addition,
detergents containing fabric softeners are also being increasingly used, thereby
augmenting demand for esterquats in the region.
