The global linear alkyl benzene (LAB) market stood at USD 8,756.1 million in 2019, and is likely to be valued at USD 13,450.2 million by 2027, at a CAGR of 5.5% over the next eight years. The growth can be primarily attributed to the growing demand for cleaning agents along with considerable rise in construction activities across the globe. Moreover, increasing demand for bio-based surfactants is projected to fuel the market demand over the coming years. However, growing environmental concerns coupled with volatile raw material prices may hinder the market growth.
Linear alkyl benzene (LAB) is defined as a family of organic compounds that appear like a colorless oily liquid. LAB may be derived from petroleum-based benzene and linear paraffins. It acts as a critical raw material in the manufacture of synthetic detergents. It may be converted into linear alkyl benzene sulfonate (LAS) or directly supplied to key end use industries.
Linear alkyl benzene not only acts as an emulsifier and a coupling agent but also offers exceptional electrical properties, making them useful for a variety of industrial applications. Besides being chemically and physically stable, LAB offers excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance and plasticity. Furthermore, LAB exhibits high flash point, high light yield and optical transparency along with low radioactive impurities which expand its use in neutrino detectors as well.
The report provides detailed market outlook, and forecast the “Global Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB)” market based on application, end-use and region.
