Among these, the methylamines segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The methylamines market growth is due to the usage of methylamines as an intermediate compound in the manufacturing of life-saving drugs and agrochemicals, and also as a final compound in the treatment of water. Therefore, methylamines are recognized as the major contributing factor towards the growth of the alkylamines market.

• The agrochemicals segment accounted for the highest market revenue in 2024, approximately 38% and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the alkylamines market is divided into solvents, agrochemicals, rubber processing, water treatment, feed additives, pharmaceuticals, and others. Among these, the agrochemicals segment accounted for the highest market revenue in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The agrochemicals industry is growing in terms of market due to the growing usage of pesticides, herbicides, and agrochemicals that protect crops from damage that could reduce agricultural production around the world. Alkylamines are essential intermediates used for such purposes. The ever-increasing global population, increase in agricultural lands, and development plans for a greener farming approach have pushed alkylamine agrochemical products to record the sharpest growth in this market.
