Intelligence Market Analysis, 2015-2030

[Online Quarterly Update] Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) Market has witnessed remarkable growth in

the past and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period. LAB is an organic

compound mostly used as an intermediate in the production of surfactant linear alkylbenzene

sulphonate (LAS), also known as linear alkylbenzene sulphonic acid (LABSA) which is the key ingredient

for producing biodegradable detergents. About 90% of LAB consumed globally is used for the

production of laundry detergents, light-duty dishwashing liquids, industrial cleaners, household

cleaners and other applications. Being directly linked to the FMCG industry, the global LAB market is

expected to move in tandem with the population growth and growing consumer sophistication. As of

FY19, the laundry detergents industry sector dominates the global LAB market and is expected to

remain the growing sector backed by drivers like increased urbanization and growing rates of washing

machine ownership across the households. In the past few years, there has been a remarkable shift in

the consumer preference from the more 'traditional' bar-soaps to more sophisticated hand-washing

detergents which is an important indicator of the consumer revolution. These factors are likely to

propel the global Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) market growth in the forecast period.

With rising concerns over cleanliness and personal hygiene, government led campaigns such as

Swachh Bharat Mission in growing economies like India to promote wellness, well-being, and welfare

(WWW) of the citizens would stimulate the growth of the LAB market in the forecast period.

Moreover, UNICEF’s urge for countries to reach Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, which targets

universal and equitable water, sanitation, and hygiene for all by 2030 would further support the

market growth in the forecast period. In additions, other factors like changes in lifestyles, population

size and growth, increasing incomes and machine ownership rates; washing frequency and growing

awareness about upcoming detergent brands due to steadily increasing media penetration would

significantly impact the volumes of detergents consumed and consequently the demand for Linear

Alkyl Benzene in the forecast period.

UOP technology stands the most widely used method for production of LAB and employs

hydrogenated kerosene or normal paraffins as the key feedstock. Being the most economical

technology available today, more than 70% of the world’s LAB is produced using UOP technologies.

Nearly all LAB produced is sulfonated to produce LAS/LABSA which is the most cost-effective

surfactant available for use in detergent formulations.

Major petroleum and petrochemical companies across the world have integrated with the major LAB

producers to supply kerosene and benzene for production of linear alkyl benzene.

The global market for LAB will continue to grow in the upcoming years as the demand for laundry

detergents is continuously grow, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. As of 2019, Asia-Pacific

dominated the global LAB market, with the largest consumption from the countries, such as China,

India, and Japan. Increased urbanization and government initiatives to promote better health and

hygiene practices are likely to drive increased demand for laundry detergent. Moreover, increased

investments across the detergents and other cleaning chemicals sector looking at the rising

penetration across the rural sectors would further boost the LAB demand in the forecast period.

With the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been a strong boost in the demand for industrial and

household cleaners as the pandemic shifted consumer preference strongly towards healthcare and

hygiene related products. Major detergent manufacturers across the globe such as Procter & Gamble,

Hindustan Unilever (HUL) and many others have reported strong quarterly earnings due to robust

demand from manufacturers of detergents and household cleaners. As people consumed large

volumes to ward off the coronavirus, majority of LAB and LABSA manufacturers remained largely

operational despite lockdowns, as the governments listed health and hygiene products under the

category of essential items. Reliance Industries continued operating its 1,20,000 tonnes-linear alkyl

benzene unit at Koyali refinery during the lockdown. It is anticipated that spurt in the global demand

as several economies ramp up their manufacturing units to cater to the exponential rise in consumer

demand would further accelerate the market growth in the forecast period.

Years Considered for this Report:

Historical Years: 2015 – 2019

Base Year: 2020

Estimated Year: 2021

Forecast Period: 2022 – 2030

Objective of the Study:

• The primary objective of the study was to evaluate and forecast Linear Alkyl Benzene capacity,

production, demand, inventory, and demand–supply gap globally.

• To categorize Linear Alkyl Benzene demand based on type, end use, region, and distribution

channel.

• To identify major customers of Linear Alkyl Benzene globally.

• To evaluate and forecast Linear Alkyl Benzene pricing globally.

• To identify and profile major companies operating globally Linear Alkyl Benzene market.

• To identify major news, deals and expansion plans globally Linear Alkyl Benzene market.

Key Players:

• CEPSA Quimica S.A.

• Deten Quimica

• Fushun Petrochemical Company

• Chevron Phillips Chemicals

• Honeywell

• Arabian Petrochemical Company

• Huntsman Corporation

• Reliance Industries Limited

• Jingtung Petrochemical Corp.

• Indian Oil Corporation Ltd etc.

Increasing investments and merger and acquisitions across the surfactants sector would further

augment the growth of the LAB market in the foreseeable future. Indorama Ventures has recently

closed a USD 2 billion acquisition of Huntsman's chemical intermediate and surfactants businesses, to

widen its US footprint into higher margin integrated oxides and derivatives and specialty chemicals

segments.

LAB is a crude oil derivative and hence its price is directly linked to the fluctuations in crude oil and

petrochemicals such as benzene. Volatility in the prices of benzene has remained a major challenge

for LAB manufacturers since a long time. Linear Alkyl Benzene prices remained under pressure in the

first half of the year weighed over by an unprecedented fall in crude oil during Q1FY20 and Q2FY21.

Linear Alkyl Benzene CFR India prices were assessed around USD 1200 per MT on bulk contract basis

in Q1FY20 down by about 5 per cent compared to its prices in Q4FY19.

To extract data for Global Linear Alkyl Benzene market, primary research surveys were conducted with

Linear Alkyl Benzene manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, wholesalers and end users. While

interviewing, the respondents were also inquired about their competitors. Through this technique,

ChemAnalyst was able to include manufacturers that could not be identified due to the limitations of

secondary research. Moreover, ChemAnalyst analyzed various end user segments and projected a

positive outlook for Global Linear Alkyl Benzene market over the coming years.

ChemAnalyst calculated Linear Alkyl Benzene demand globally by analyzing the historical data and

demand forecast which was carried out considering imported styrene prices, a monomer used for

production of Linear Alkyl Benzene. ChemAnalyst sourced these values from industry experts and

company representatives and externally validated through analyzing historical sales data of respective

manufacturers to arrive at the overall market size. Various secondary sources such as company

websites, association reports, annual reports, etc., were also studied by ChemAnalyst.
