The expansion of the narrow range ethoxylate market is being fueled by rising public consciousness about health and cleanliness. The increased knowledge around these topics can significantly help in controlling the proliferation of issues such as intestinal worms, schistosomiasis, trachoma, and various tropical diseases that afflict millions globally. Narrow range ethoxylates, which are commonly used for cleaning purposes in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, are projected to see increased consumption due to this rise in health and hygiene awareness. The World Health Organization, a Swiss intergovernmental body, issued a report in October 2023 stating that 57% (equivalent to 4.6 billion individuals) of the global population had access to adequately managed sanitation services in 2022. Of this number, 33% (2.7 billion people) used private sanitation systems associated with sewers that provided wastewater treatment, and 21% (1.7 billion people) used toilets or latrines that effectively disposed of waste on-site. Moreover, 88% of the worldwide population, or 7.2 billion people, had access to a basic sanitation service at the minimum. As such, this heightened awareness about health and cleanliness among the public is projected to considerably drive the growth of the narrow-range ethoxylate market in the foreseeable future.
