Newer, more advanced epoxy formulations and protective coatings are anticipated to be developed, as desired electronic and data-processing equipment become smaller and more powerful.
• Long-Lasting Epoxies and Sustainability: The implementation of stringent environmental regulations has led manufacturers to improve the durability of their products and the efficiency of the raw materials and the overall production process. The May 2018 EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive, for example, encourages the design and use of more sustainable and circular materials. Longer-lasting and more durable composites and coatings can be developed with polyetheramines. The same trend is likely to promote the use of more renewable raw materials and sustainable production processes.
• Infrastructure Spending and Development: Increased investment in infrastructure has created a greater need for construction chemicals. The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that by 2030, the world's renewable energy capacity would increase by more than 5,500 gigawatts and create greater demand for products such as corrosion-resistant materials. Additionally, increased infrastructure spending creates a more reliable, resilient, and durable energy and transportational system, especially in growing economies. This reduces the need for structural maintenance and repair, and lessens the overall cost of ownership, fostering further economic development.
• New Technology and Products: The use of polyetheramines continues to increase, and manufacturers have recently launched products that enable the further modification of polyetheramines to achieve even better performance for a wider range of applications. These include the use of polyetheramines in the electric vehicle (EV) market to create parts that meet the requirements for lightweight, high impact-protection, and chemical-barrier protection. Additionally, polyetheramines can be used in other areas of EVs, such as battery systems and composites. In the coming years, products created from polyetheramines will be used in applications previously monopolized by mechanical or chemical construction methods and services.

The challenges facing this market include:

• Volatility of Feedstocks: Variations in crude oil prices impact the cost of feedstocks for polyetheramine (PEA) and other petrochemical derivatives. The marginal cost of production for downstream chemical manufacturers and price sensitivity of end users remain key barriers for completing forward contracts. Raw material cost variability discourages investment in inventory. Petrochemical producers need to transform their supply chain, develop alternate raw material sources and use best-in-class operational and financial practices to improve profitability in the long-term.
• Regulatory and Environmental Risks: There is ongoing concern for worker health and safety, as well as the health and safety of the general public. There are thousands of chemicals in use for which suppliers lack adequate safety data. Petrochemical producers are investing significant resources to develop safe and improved chemicals and to transform their facilities. In the next several years, petrochemical producers with greater resources will likely improve their formulations and decrease their environmental impact compared to other producers.
• Supply-Chain and Capacity Constraints: Long lead times are the result of concentrated production and customer location, as well as the unreliable and unbalanced distribution of specialty chemicals and disruptions in international transport. The World Trade Organization (WTO) predicted a 2025 growth estimate of international trade of about 3.3% from 2015 levels. The WTO cautioned that international trade would continue to be disrupted by international shipping and geo-political issues. Disrupted supply and demand causes can be seen in the feedstocks and final products of the value chain. Over the next several years, the resilience of the market would depend on the level of investment in new production facilities, use of digital supply chain and inventory management.

The market for polyetheramines is expected to grow as a result of increased use in the electronics industry and for renewable energy. Growing demands and use in durable, high performance products will also increase market growth.
