Global Linear Alkyl Benzene Market Analysis, Size, Share,
Competitive Strategies and Forecasts, 2012 To 2020: Hexa Research
Growing cleaners and detergents demand in end-use industries and residential application is
expected to fuel the global linear alkyl benzene market over the next five years. Strict
governmental regulations regarding non-biodegradable materials usage is also anticipated to
spur the market growth over the forecast period. Linear alkyl benzene is manufactured from
oligomerization of ethylene and is a colorless organic compound. Kerosene is the major raw
material for the LAB production and is formed as a co-product during kerosene dehydrogenation
process. Most significant importance of the product is biodegradability. The product is mainly
used to produce linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS). LAS are primarily used to manufacture
detergents. LAB in its original form is also used to produce detergents. LAB comprises optimum
light yield, low radioactive impurities, high flash points and optical transparency. On account of
high flash point the product is also used to produce neutrino detectors. Several other LAB
applications include emulsion polymerization, ink solvents, agriculture herbicides, paint industry,
as wetting agent and electric cable oil.

Biodegradable nature of LAB is the most important factor to drive the global market over the
next five years. Several LAB derivatives such as LAS also comprise biodegradability property
which enhances their applications in various end-use industries and to produce surfactants. LAB
is prominently used to manufacture house hold cleaners, light-duty and heavy laundry liquids,
laundry powders, industrial cleaners and light-duty dish washing liquids. Increasing demand for
clean in place materials in several industries is expected to foster the LAB market growth over
the forecast period. Technology advancement in developing new applications is anticipated to
drive the market growth over the foreseeable future.
LAB market is classified into application segments as heavy duty laundry liquid, laundry powder,
light duty dish washer, industrial cleaners and house hold cleaners. Heavy duty laundry liquid
was leading the LAB market in terms of revenue as well as volume. Industrial cleaners followed
heavy duty laundry liquid and contributed to second major market segment. House hold
application market is anticipated to be the fastest growing market over the forecast period owing
to increasing awareness towards cleaning and health aspects. Rapid industrialization in
emerging economies is projected to bolster the market growth over the foreseeable future.
Asia Pacific dominated the linear alkyl benzene market in terms of both revenue and volume in
2013 and is also expected to witness the fastest growth over the next five years. Increasing
consumption and growing industries in emerging countries in the region such as China and
India are the major factors to drive the growth. North America and Europe are anticipated to
witness sluggish growth in the near future on account of declination in application market.
However, the region is expected to sustain the market owing to favorable government
regulations regarding biodegradable products usage.
