Ethylenediamine price index
This post is a summary of the Ethylenediamine price developments. The price developments of Ethylenediamine are expressed in US$ prices converted FX rates applicable at the time when the price was valid. Ethylenediamine price index developments are calculated from multiple separate sources of data to ensure statistical accuracy.
The outlook for Ethylenediamine prices is generated from different inputs including:
- Very recent price developments of immediate cost drivers of Ethylenediamine prices
- Recent price developments of underlying feedstocks which drive the price of Ethylenediamine
- Market futures for both cost drives and feedstocks of Ethylenediamine prices
- Adjustment of current supply/demand imbalances in the Ethylenediamine market
- Longer term trends in likely demand conditions
What is Ethylenediamine and what is it used for
Ethylenediamine (often abbreviated EDA) is a small, colourless organic liquid with two amine (–NH₂) groups; chemically it is the simplest diamine and a common building block for many downstream chemicals. It is used as an intermediate to make chelating agents (e.g., EDTA derivatives), surfactants, textile and leather auxiliaries, epoxy and polyurethane curing agents, dyes, agrochemicals, corrosion inhibitors, and rubber additives; it is also used as a solvent and in some electroplating baths.
How is Ethylenediamine produced
Industrially EDA is produced by amination routes that convert short ethylene derivatives into diamines. Common commercial routes include reacting 1,2-dichloroethane with ammonia (the EDC route), amination of ethylene oxide/ethanolamine intermediates, and hydrogenative conversion of ethylene glycol or related intermediates over metal catalysts. Modern research also explores greener catalytic routes and improved heterogeneous catalysts to raise selectivity and reduce by-products.
How large is the global market for Ethylenediamine
Recent market reports place the global EDA market volume in the order of several hundred thousand tonnes per year (market estimates around ~0.7 million tonnes in 2024) and value estimates commonly range in the low hundreds of millions to around one billion USD depending on the report and the year; most market analyses project mid-single-digit CAGRs for the coming decade driven by demand in polymers, agrochemicals and specialty additives. (Market figures vary between publishers — the cited market reports give detailed breakdowns and forecasts.)
Where is Ethylenediamine produced
Production is global but concentrated where large chemical-industry clusters exist: major producers and technology providers include multinational chemical companies in North America, Western Europe, Japan and large chemical producers in China and India. Leading industry names active in the ethyleneamines/EDA space include Dow, Huntsman, BASF, Tosoh, Nouryon and several regional producers in Asia. Many production sites are colocated with upstream ethylene/ethylene-derivative feedstock facilities to optimise logistics.
