Diethylhydroxylamine Market Projected to Reach USD 1,500 Million by 2035 with a 10.6% CAGR

Diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA) is a small molecule with an outsized role in several industrial systems. Best known as a volatile oxygen scavenger for boiler water treatment, DEHA also works as a free-radical scavenger/antioxidant in polymer chemistry, a corrosion-control aid, and a short-stop agent in certain polymerization processes. Those multiple, technically important uses make DEHA a niche but resilient chemical market—one that’s quietly expanding alongside demand for reliable steam systems, industrial water treatment, and advanced polymer processing.

The Diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA) market was valued at USD 500 million in 2024. It is projected to expand from USD 500 million in 2025 to USD 1,500 million by 2035, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 10.6% over the forecast period from 2025 to 2035.

Why demand for DEHA keeps rising

The core reason DEHA matters is simple: oxygen corrodes metal and degrades polymers. In medium- and high-pressure boiler systems—power plants, large industrial complexes, chemical plants, and refineries—DEHA removes dissolved oxygen and, because it’s volatile, follows steam and helps protect condensate return lines and feedwater circuits. That makes it a preferred choice where complete system protection is needed across varying temperatures and locations inside a steam loop. Beyond water treatment, DEHA’s free-radical scavenging behavior is valued in polymer manufacture and processing, where controlling chain reactions and preventing discoloration or property loss is critical.

Two macro trends underpin steady demand. First, global industrialization—especially in Asia-Pacific—keeps expanding boiler fleets, power generation, and heavy manufacturing, all of which require water-treatment chemistries. Second, as equipment owners look to extend asset life and reduce unplanned downtime, higher-performance treatment chemistries like DEHA gain prominence over cheaper but less effective alternatives. Reports tracking the broader oxygen-scavenger space project robust growth, which supports continued uptake of specialized chemistries such as DEHA.

Market size, growth and forecasts (what the numbers say)

Published market reports vary in specifics—reflecting different scopes (pure DEHA vs. DEHA used as oxygen scavenger vs. wider antioxidant/chemical markets)—but they converge on steady, mid-single-digit to low-double-digit CAGRs. Recent analyses put the global DEHA/DEHA-oxygen scavenger market in the low-hundreds of millions of USD in the mid-2020s, with forecasts stretching toward several hundred million by the early-to-mid 2030s depending on source and product definition. One recent industry estimate pegged the DEHA oxygen-scavenger market at roughly USD 324–385 million in 2024 and projected continued growth through the next decade. Another analyst set longer-term forecasts that point to a healthy expansion driven by water treatment and polymer applications. Because company and report methodologies differ, it’s sensible to interpret published figures as directional: the market is real, technically specialized, and expanding. 

Regional outlook

Asia-Pacific currently leads demand growth for DEHA, powered by rapid industrialization, rising power generation capacity, and expanding chemical and polymer production. North America and Europe remain important mature markets—driven by legacy boiler fleets, stringent equipment-protection standards, and advanced polymer processors—while growth in Latin America and MENA is emerging as industrial projects and power infrastructure investments continue. Regional dynamics favor suppliers who can combine reliable product quality with local logistics and technical support. 

Competitive landscape and supply chain notes

DEHA is manufactured and distributed by several chemical companies and specialty suppliers. Major chemical producers and distributors (including established specialty chemical houses and regional distributors) compete on product grades (e.g., 85% aqueous, anhydrous variants), consistency, regulatory compliance, and technical service. Buyers tend to prefer suppliers who provide clear technical data sheets, stability and purity assurances, and local support for water-treatment dosing regimens or polymer-processing troubleshooting. The distribution layer—industrial chemical distributors and regional suppliers—also plays a significant role in getting DEHA to smaller end-users. 

Opportunities and risks

Opportunities:

• Continued modernization of boiler and steam systems, especially in developing economies, will sustain demand.
• Expanded applications in polymer stabilization, electronics chemicals, and niche specialty chemistries can lift demand beyond pure water treatment.
• Value-added services (dosing programs, monitoring, technical support) allow suppliers to differentiate.

Risks:

• Substitutes: other oxygen scavengers and treatment regimes can displace DEHA where volatility or regulatory constraints make alternatives preferable.
• Regulatory/handling issues: as with any amine-based chemical, local environmental and workplace regulations can affect transport, formulation, and permissible uses.
• Price volatility in feedstock chemicals or disruptions in supply chains (logistics, raw material shortages) could pressure margins or availability.

What buyers and suppliers should watch

Buyers should prioritize validated product specs and supplier technical support—successful DEHA dosing is about chemistry and system understanding, not just shipping a drum. Suppliers should invest in application data, regional warehousing, and compliance documentation to win business from engineering-led procurement teams. Finally, monitoring the broader oxygen-scavenger market and the health of power and heavy industries will give the best signal of near-term demand shifts.

Bottom line

DEHA is a technically important, moderately sized chemical market that benefits from essential industrial needs—corrosion control and polymer stabilization. It isn’t headline-grabbing, but its steady growth, technical niche, and cross-industry relevance make it a dependable segment for producers and a vital input for industries that rely on reliable steam systems and controlled polymerization chemistry. For companies operating in water treatment, power, or specialty polymers, DEHA will remain a core tool in the toolbox—and a worthwhile market to watch.
