Description

The global Ethylene Thiourea (ETU) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 308 million in 2025 to US$ 394 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2026 to 2032.

Ethylene thiourea (ETU) is an imidazoline-based organic compound. It appears as white needle-like crystals or powder and is primarily used as a vulcanization accelerator for various specialty rubbers, such as chloroprene rubber and chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber, accelerating the rubber curing process.The upstream raw materials mainly consist of basic chemical raw materials such as ethylenediamine and carbon disulfide. The typical synthesis route involves the reaction of diamine with CS₂ to form an intermediate, followed by cyclization under heating/acidic conditions to obtain ethylene thiourea.Global sales are projected to be approximately 78,000 tons in 2025, with an average market price of approximately US$4,050 per ton. The industry's gross profit margin is approximately 18-25%.

Current product demand is primarily tied to existing applications of halogenated elastomers such as chloroprene rubber (e.g., wires and cables, hoses and belts, protective products), where they still offer efficiency and performance advantages in some formulations. In the long term, increasingly stringent environmental regulations mean that exports of downstream products face strict scrutiny, accelerating the adoption of ETU-free vulcanization systems as alternatives.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
