역학
패션 동향 사이클 단축화
소셜 미디어의 출현으로 패스트 패션의 인기가 급상승하고 있습니다. 일반적으로 패션 동향은 소개에서 진부화까지 20년의 사이클을 따랐지만, 소셜 미디어는 그 사이클을 12-30주로 단축했습니다. 패션 브랜드는 여름과 가을 시즌에 여러 가지 새로운 디자인을 발표하게 되었습니다. 합리적인 가격의 브랜드도 고급 브랜드도, 「지금 보고, 지금 사는」어프로치를 채용하게 되어 있습니다.
패션 사이클의 단축화라는 현재의 동향은 의류 제조업체가 일년 내내 항상 대량의 의류를 생산해야 함을 의미하며, 양성 에테르화제 수요를 증대시킵니다. 패션 사이클이 더 짧아지면 양성 에테르화제 수요는 앞으로 점점 높아질 것으로 보입니다.
제지의 새로운 기술 혁신
제지 제조업체는 화학물질을 사용하지 않는 제조 공정뿐만 아니라 내구성, 내수성, 내오염성을 높이기 위해 새로운 재료와 공정을 사용합니다. 예를 들어, Nekoosa Coated Products는 무해하고 자연계에 존재하는 항균 기술인 바이오마스터 은 이온 기술을 더해 박테리아를 예방하는 새로운 항균지를 출시했습니다.
또, 종이에 사용하는 잉크의 배합도 변경해, 속건성과 더러움 방지를 실현했습니다. Koehler Paper Group은 최근 Middle Sheet Reacto 카본리스 용지를 발표했습니다. 얇은 수색층이 종이 안에 끼워져 있어 상지에서 방출되는 발색물질과 반응합니다. 중간 시트에는 마이크로 캡슐 코팅도 되어 있어 혁신적인 잉크 기술에 의해 1장으로 3장의 카피를 작성할 수 있습니다.
Eurocalco Digital은 Lecta SA의 디지털 인쇄용 카본리스 용지입니다. 50-75gsm의 저중량으로 특수한 잉크와 종이의 표면처리에 의해 흔들림 없는 인쇄가 가능합니다. 잉크젯 프린터 및 레이저 프린터의 주요 제조 업체를 지원합니다.
증가하는 제지 공해에 대한 우려
종이는 플라스틱을 대체하는 환경 친화적인 대체품으로 자리 잡고 있지만 종이 생산에는 나쁜 문제가 있으며 가장 중요한 것은 환경 오염입니다. 제지 공장은 황화나트륨, 황화수소, 메틸 메르캅탄, 이산화염소 등의 독성 화합물을 배출함으로써 악명 높습니다. 또한 제지 공장은 수질 오염에도 크게 기여하고 있습니다. 여러 연구를 통해 제지 공장의 폐수에는 발암성 및 변이원성 오염물질이 포함되어 있음이 결정적으로 입증되었습니다.
수질 오염 증가에 경종을 울리기 위해 많은 정부가 제지 공장에 대한 엄격한 조치를 취하고 있습니다. 공해방지법을 위반한 제지공장의 대부분은 조업정지에 몰렸지만 대부분의 공장은 새로운 공해방지기술 도입에 필요한 대규모 설비투자를 할 여유가 없었습니다. 엄격한 새로운 공해방지 규정은 단기적으로 양성 에테르화제 수요를 감소시킬 것으로 보입니다.
Overview
Global Amphoteric Etherifying Agents Market reached US$ 144.2 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 189.9 million by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
The growing substitution of plastic with paper-based alternatives will be a major factor in driving the demand for amphoteric etherifying agents during the forecast period. The application of new paper packaging products is also growing, which will boost the long-term growth prospects for the global market.
Ongoing changes in the global textile market will probably create difficult conditions for the future growth of the global market. Many garment exporters like Bangladesh are struggling and it has provided an opening for China to consolidate its position in the export market. The growing concentration of demand in China would be detrimental for the growth prospects of the global market.
Dynamics
Shortening of Fashion Trend Cycles
The fast fashion has witnessed a sharp increase in popularity following the advent of social media. Generally, fashion trends followed a 20 year cycle, from introduction to obsolescence, however, social media has shortened the cycle to 12-30 weeks. Fashion brands, are increasingly launching multiple new designs during the summer and fall seasons. Affordable and luxury brands are both increasingly adopting a 'see now, buy now' approach, which means that clothes that are debuted at fashion shows are almost immediately available for purchase.
The current trend of shortening fashion cycles means that clothing manufacturers have to constantly produce large volume of clothes throughout the year, which increases demand for amphoteric etherifying agents. As fashion cycles continue to become more shorter, it will only increase the demand for amphoteric etherifying agents in the future.
New Technological Innovations in Papermaking
Paper manufacturers are using new materials and processes to make paper more durable, water and dirt-resistant as well as chemical-free manufacturing processes. For instance, Nekoosa Coated Products had launched a new antimicrobial paper by adding bio master silver ion technology, a non-toxic, naturally occurring antimicrobial technology for bacterial prevention.
The formulation of the ink used in the paper is also changed to dry quickly and prevent smudging. Koehler Paper Group recently introduced the Middle Sheet Reacto carbonless paper. A thin color receiving layer is sandwiched within the paper which reacts with color-forming substances released by the upper sheet. The middle sheet also has a microcapsule coating, thus allowing a single sheet to generate three copies using innovative ink technology.
Eurocalco Digital is Lecta S.A.'s range of carbonless paper for digital printing applications. It has low weight, between 50-75 gsm and offers completely smudge-free printing due to special ink and paper surface treatment. The paper is compatible with every major brand of inkjet and laserjet printer.
Growing Concern About Pollution from Papermaking
Although paper is being positioned as an eco-friendly alternative to plastics, paper production generates its own set of problems, chief among which is environmental contamination. Paper mills are notorious for emitting toxic compounds like sodium sulfide, hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan and chlorine dioxide. However, they also contribute signficantly towards water pollution. Multiple studies have conclusively proved that papermill wastewater contains carcinogenic and mutagenic pollutants.
Alarmed by the growing incidence of water pollution, many governments have instituted strict measures for papermills. Many mills in violation of anti-pollution laws were shut down, whereas most mills couldn't afford the extensive capital investment needed to install new pollution control technologies. The strict new anti-pollution regulations will reduce demand for amphoteric etherifying agents in the short term.
The global amphoteric etherifying agents market is segmented based on type, application and region.
Papermaking is the Largest Application for Amphoteric Etherifying Agents
Among all applications, paper stands out due to the high amount of demand placed upon paper products globally. Developed and emerging countries alike are switching towards paper-based substitutes for plastic packaging. Even during the age of digitization, the demand for printing paper continues to increase steadily.
Textiles are also witnessing a surge in demand, though the overall figures are still lesser than the papermaking industry. The rise of fast-fashion trends has been one of the main reasons behind the spurt in demand for amphoteric etherifying agents from textile manufacturers. The rise of ethnic fashion trends is also another factor in raising demand.
Asia-Pacific Poised for Significant Growth During the Forecast Period
The papermaking industry will be the chief source of growth for amphoteric etherifying agents during the forecast period. India and China will be among the largest domestic markets for these agents, considering their well-established paper, textile and chemical industries. However, outside of big markets, the demand for amphoteric etherifying agents in Asia-Pacific has run into a crisis.
Bangladesh, one of the largest textile exporters in the region, has been faced with declining textile exporters due to an increase in natural gas prices and an overall increase in inflation. Many smaller garment manufacturers have gone bankrupt due to these difficult market conditions. The market demand for amphoteric etherifying agents will likely remain subdued over the short and medium term.
The pandemic created a major period of uncertainty for the global amphoteric etherifying agent market. Demand from the textile industry witnessed a major decline, as it was affected by pandemic lockdowns due to labor shortages and production disruptions. Paper manufacturers did witness a notable increase in demand, especially due to growing consumer interest in disposable paper-based hygiene products and cutlery.
Overall global demand witnessed a gradual and steady recovery in the aftermath of the pandemic. However, with the advent of the war in Ukraine, energy prices continued to remain high, thus leading to challenging market conditions for many end-users. How well these challenging conditions are addressed will determine the future course of the global market.
The Russia-Ukraine war created significant volatility in global energy prices which affected textile and paper production in developing countries. Much of the global production of these commodities is carried out in emerging nations that are dependent on energy imports. A steep increase in global energy prices raised input costs for local manufacturers, thus depressing demand for amphoteric modifying agents.
Chinese chemical and textile manufacturers have a huge amount of large spare capacity that can easily nullify the rise in input costs. If global energy markets witness a sustained period of high prices, it is likely that more and more of the textile and paper manufacturing capacity will shift from other emerging countries like India and Bangladesh to China.
The major global players in the market include Dongying Zeao Chemical Co., Ltd., Delin New Materials, Hefei TNJ Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., SKW Quab Chemicals, Shandong Guofeng Junda Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., Haihang Industry Co., Ltd, Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd., Dongying Nuoer Chemical Co., Ltd, Weifang Yukai Chemical Co., Ltd. and Wuxi Cima Science Co., Ltd.
The global amphoteric etherifying agents market report would provide approximately 53 tables, 43 figures and 182 Pages.
