According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Monoethanolamine market size was valued at US$ 1330 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1647 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 3.1% during review period.
Monoethanolamine (MEA) is a simple ethanolamine with one primary amine and one alcohol group. It is a colorless liquid with a mild ammonia odour. MEA is mainly used in sweetening natural gas and coal gas, and as soap or amides in heavy-duty detergents. Monoethanolamine is also used in the production of ethylene amines.
Upstream supply of Monoethanolamine is anchored by ethylene oxide, ammonia, integrated EO handling systems, pressure-rated reaction and separation assets, hazardous-chemical storage, tank logistics, and quality systems for amine purity, water, color and trace impurities. Producers with stronger positions usually have EO integration, flexible ethanolamine trains, export tank capability, and long-term qualification with gas processors, detergent manufacturers, personal-care formulators, textile chemical producers, agrochemical intermediates, and chemical synthesis users. Procurement is usually made through annual framework agreements, formula-linked supply contracts, spot bulk purchases, import distributor channels, and direct plant-to-plant offtake. A reasonable industry-level gross margin estimate is 18.5%, with higher margins for integrated producers and specialty grades; the main barriers are EO integration, hazardous liquid logistics, downstream qualification, purity control, and the ability to shift output among MEA, DEA and TEA according to demand.
In the current market, global production of Monoethanolamine is around 1,055,000 Metric Tons, with an average selling price of about 1,225 USD per Metric Ton EXW basis. The market is medium-concentrated. Top 5 suppliers control approximately 38% of global revenue CR5. Dow, BASF, INEOS Oxide, PETRONAS Chemicals Group, and PTT Global Chemical form the leading tier, supported by large EO/EOA platforms and broad downstream coverage; Saudi Kayan, Nouryon, Oriental Union Chemical, Amines & Plasticizers, Sintez OKA, Nippon Shokubai, Mitsui Chemicals and selected Chinese producers form a second tier. Demand is heaviest in China, North America, Europe, and broader Asia-Pacific, while the Middle East is more important as an export-oriented production base than as an end-use market. China’s role is structurally rising because local EO derivative capacity has expanded and domestic producers such as Sinopec Zhongke Refining, Jiangsu Shenghong Petrochemical, Jiaxing Jinyan Chemical and other ethanolamine producers are increasingly active in both domestic and export channels.
From 2026 to 2032, Monoethanolamine demand should grow moderately, led by gas treatment, detergent and cleaning formulations, personal care ingredients, metalworking fluids, textile auxiliaries, agrochemical intermediates, and broader chemical synthesis. Regulatory pressure will remain important because MEA is corrosive, toxic by exposure route, and subject to strict storage, handling, labeling, transport and occupational controls; customers will increasingly require SDS, COA, REACH-style documentation, low-impurity specifications, and consistent batch traceability. Cost direction will depend mainly on ethylene oxide, ammonia, energy, logistics and plant operating rates. Carbon constraints may favor producers with integrated, energy-efficient EO systems and lower-carbon mass-balance or certified feedstock options, though such grades will remain a premium niche compared with standard industrial material.
