According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Ethylene Distearylamide market size was valued at US$ 227 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 327 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.1% during review period.
In this report, we will assess the current U.S. tariff framework alongside international policy adaptations, analyzing their effects on competitive market structures, regional economic dynamics, and supply chain resilience.
Ethylene Distearylamide, also called EBS (Ethylene Bis Stearamide), is a synthetic wax widely used as a lubricant, dispersing agent, and anti-blocking additive in plastics, rubber, coatings, inks, and powder metallurgy. Its chemical structure, derived from ethylenediamine and stearic acid, gives it excellent thermal stability, low volatility, and smooth surface characteristics. EBS enhances processability in thermoplastics like PVC, ABS, and polypropylene, improves pigment dispersion, and provides slip and anti-scratch effects in surface coatings. Due to its non-toxic and chemically inert nature, EBS is also used in food-grade applications and personal care products.
In 2024, global production of EBS exceeded 120,000 tons, with an average market price of ,800 per ton. A typical small to medium production line has an annual capacity of around 4,000 tons, while large-scale lines can reach up to 8,000 tons per year. The industry’s average gross margin is approximately 15%–18%.
The EBS supply chain is driven by both oleochemical and petrochemical inputs: stearic acid comes mainly from palm-based or animal fats via fractionation/hydrogenation and is exposed to vegetable oil cycles, regional supply, and freight, while ethylenediamine (EDA), an ethylene derivative, is tied to ethylene, ammonia, and energy prices and is sensitive to turnarounds and environmental approvals. Midstream production follows “condensation of stearic acid and EDA—washing—drying—milling/granulation—packaging,” where single-line capacity depends on effective reactor volume, charge density, overall yield, effective operating hours, and batch cycle time; drying/granulation is often the takt-time bottleneck. Different forms and grades (e.g., ultra-fine, low free acid/amine, bead form) introduce clear cost and price tiers. On the supply side, China and India offer cost-competitive scale for standard grades, while Europe, North America, and Japan emphasize high-purity and compliance, leading to a mix of global brands and regional suppliers. Demand is anchored in plastics compounding and masterbatches across PP, PE, ABS, PS, PVC, and PA, where EBS functions as a lubricant, release agent, and dispersant; despite low loadings, performance is highly sensitive to processing, so EBS demand co-moves with appliances, automotive, and packaging cycles. Pricing is primarily transmitted from stearic acid and EDA, with energy and ocean freight amplifying volatility; quality and certification requirements (e.g., food contact, automotive/electronics) add a further 10–30% price spread. Key risks include feedstock swings, policy and environmental constraints, critical unit outages, and logistics disruption. Buyers can balance cost and resilience via index-linked formulas to upstream inputs, dual sourcing (primary/backup), flexible substitution of grades and physical forms, and DOE-driven optimization of dosage versus performance.
Asia-Pacific is the largest consumer of EBS. This is driven by high production of plastics and rubber in China, India, and Southeast Asia. Rapid industrialization and infrastructure development in the region continue to boost demand for EBS in PVC, PE films, and coatings.
North America holds a mature market with stable demand in plastics, automotive coatings, and powder metallurgy. The U.S. also has a notable presence of EBS manufacturers and compounders, focusing on high-performance and specialty formulations.
Europe focuses on environmentally friendly and REACH-compliant applications. Demand is strong in engineering plastics, automotive coatings, and masterbatches, particularly in Germany, Italy, and France.
Latin America & Middle East/Africa are emerging markets, with growth led by packaging, construction, and automotive components. However, limited local production results in heavy reliance on imports from Asia and Europe.
The global core manufacturers of EBS include KLK OLEO, Cargill, Emery Oleochemicals, Münzing Chemie and Arxada, etc. The top three manufacturers account for approximately 35% of the global share.
