Global Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) market has
witnessed remarkable growth in the past and is
estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4 during the
forecast period. LAB is an organic compound
mostly used as an intermediate in the production
of surfactant linear alkylbenzene sulphonate
(LAS), also known as linear alkylbenzene
sulphonic acid (LABSA) which is the key
ingredient for producing biodegradable
detergents. About 90 of LAB consumed globally is
used for the production of laundry detergents,
light-duty dishwashing liquids, industrial
cleaners, household cleaners and other
applications. Being directly linked to the FMCG
industry, the global LAB market is expected to
move in tandem with the population growth and
growing consumer sophistication. As of FY19, the
laundry detergents industry sector dominates the
global LAB market and is expected to remain the
growing sector backed by drivers like increased
urbanization and growing rates of washing machine
ownership across the households. In the past few
years, there has been a remarkable shift in the
consumer preference from the more 'traditional'
bar-soaps to more sophisticated hand-washing
detergents which is an important indicator of the
consumer revolution. These factors are likely to
propel the global Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB)
market growth in the forecast period.   With
rising concerns over cleanliness and personal
hygiene, government led campaigns such as Swachh
Bharat Mission in growing economies like India to
promote wellness, well-being and welfare (WWW) of
the citizens would stimulate the growth of the
LAB market in the forecast period. Moreover,
UNICEFs urge for countries to reach Sustainable
Development Goal (SDG) 6, which targets universal
and equitable water, sanitation and hygiene for
all by 2030 would further support the market
growth in the forecast period. In additions,
other factors like changes in lifestyles, 
population size and growth, increasing incomes
and machine ownership rates washing frequency
and growing awareness about upcoming detergent
brands due to steadily increasing media
penetration would significantly impact the
volumes of detergents consumed and consequently
the demand for Linear Alkyl Benzene in the
forecast period. UOP technology stands the most
widely used method for production of LAB and
employs hydrogenated kerosene or normal paraffins
as the key feedstock. Being the most economical
technology available today, more than 70 of the
worlds LAB is produced using UOP technologies.
Nearly all LAB produced is sulfonated to produce
LAS/LABSA which is the most cost-effective
surfactant available for use in detergent
formulations.    Major petroleum and
petrochemical companies across the world have
integrated with the major LAB producers to supply
kerosene and benzene for production of linear
alkyl benzene.

• The global market for LAB will continue to grow
  in the upcoming years as the demand for laundry
  detergents is continuously grow, particularly in
  the Asia-Pacific region. As of 2019, Asia-Pacific
  dominated the global LAB market, with the largest
  consumption from the countries, such as China,
  India and Japan. Increased urbanization and
  government initiatives to promote better health
  and hygiene practices are likely to drive
  increased demand for laundry detergent. Moreover,
  increased investments across the detergents and
  other cleaning chemicals sector looking at the
  rising penetration across the rural sectors would
  further boost the LAB demand in the forecast
  period.  
•  
• With the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been a
  strong boost in the demand for industrial and
  household cleaners as the pandemic shifted
  consumer preference strongly towards healthcare
  and hygiene related products. Major detergent
  manufacturers across the globe such as Procter
  Gamble, Hindustan Unilever (HUL) and many others
  have reported strong quarterly earnings due to
  robust demand from manufacturers of detergents
  and household cleaners. As people consumed large
  volumes to ward off the coronavirus, majority of
  LAB and LABSA manufacturers remained largely
  operational despite lockdowns, as the governments
  listed health and hygiene products under the
  category of essential items. Reliance Industries
  continued operating its 1,20,000 tonnes-linear
  alkyl benzene unit at Koyali refinery during the
  lockdown. It is anticipated that spurt in the
  global demand as several economies ramp up their
  manufacturing units to cater to the exponential
  rise in consumer demand would further accelerate
  the market growth in the forecast period

• LAB is a crude oil derivative and hence its price
  is directly linked to the fluctuations in crude
  oil and petrochemicals such as benzene.
  Volatility in the prices of benzene has remained
  a major challenge for LAB manufacturers since a
  long time. Linear Alkyl Benzene prices remained
  under pressure in the first half of the year
  weighed over by an unprecedented fall in crude
  oil during Q1FY20 and Q2FY21. Linear Alkyl
  Benzene CFR India prices were assessed around USD
  1200 per MT on bulk contract basis in Q1FY20 down
  by about 5 per cent compared to its prices in
  Q4FY19. 
•  
• To extract data for Global Linear Alkyl Benzene
  market, primary research surveys were conducted
  with Linear Alkyl Benzene manufacturers,
  suppliers, distributors, wholesalers and end
  users. While interviewing, the respondents were
  also inquired about their competitors. Through
  this technique, ChemAnalyst was able to include
  manufacturers that could not be identified due to
  the limitations of secondary research. Moreover,
  ChemAnalyst analyzed various end user segments
  and projected a positive outlook for Global
  Linear Alkyl Benzene market over the coming
  years. 
•  
• ChemAnalyst calculated Linear Alkyl Benzene
