What is Linear Alkyl Benzene?

Linear alkyl benzene (LAB) is an organic compound primarily used as a key raw material in the production of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), a widely used surfactant in household and industrial detergents. LAB consists of a benzene ring attached to a long, straight-chain alkyl group, which distinguishes it from branched alkyl benzene and enhances its biodegradability. Its properties, including high solubility in oil and chemical stability, make it ideal for detergent formulations. LAB is produced through the alkylation of benzene with linear olefins derived from kerosene or naphtha, typically using a solid or liquid acid catalyst. Beyond detergents, it finds limited applications in lubricants, synthetic rubber, and specialty chemicals. Due to its environmentally favorable biodegradation profile compared to branched alternatives, LAB has become a preferred choice in regions with stringent environmental regulations, supporting the shift toward sustainable chemical manufacturing.

What is Driving the Linear Alkyl Benzene Market?

The global linear alkyl benzene market is being propelled by rising demand for eco-friendly cleaning products and growing industrialization. Household and commercial detergents, which constitute the largest end-use segment, are expanding rapidly, especially in emerging economies where urbanization and rising disposable incomes increase consumption. The push toward biodegradable and environmentally sustainable chemicals has led to regulatory support favoring LAB over branched alternatives, further stimulating demand. Additionally, the proliferation of industrial cleaning applications, such as in textiles, paper, and leather, contributes to market growth. The market is also influenced by fluctuations in feedstock prices, primarily naphtha and kerosene, which impact production costs and profitability. Technological advancements in refining and alkylation processes are improving LAB yield and quality, while investments in new production capacities by leading chemical companies are enhancing market availability. Collectively, these factors create robust growth prospects for LAB through 2025 and beyond.
