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.
Global linear alkyl benzene market is fairly fragmented due to presence
of large number of companies. Major market players include Chevron
Phillips, Sasol, Unggul Indah Cahaya, Reliance Aromatic and
Petrochemicals Pvt. Ltd., ISU Chemicals, Honeywell and Huntsman
Corporation, Fushun Petrochemicals, Deten Quimica and Jintung
Petrochemical. Sasol contributed largest market share in terms of
revenue and volumes in 2013.
