Industrial Clusters: Where to Source China Cocamide Ethoxylate Factory
SourcifyChina Sourcing Intelligence Report: Cocamide DEA Manufacturing in China (2026)
Prepared for Global Procurement Managers | Q1 2026
Confidential – For Strategic Sourcing Use Only
Executive Summary
Cocamide DEA (Diethanolamide) remains a critical surfactant in global personal care, detergent, and industrial formulations. China supplies ~65% of global volume (2025 ChemSources data), with concentrated manufacturing in the Yangtze River Delta. This report identifies key production clusters, quantifies regional trade-offs, and provides actionable sourcing protocols. Critical note: “Cocamide DEA factory” refers to manufacturing facilities producing this specific chemical compound – not standalone “factories” as a product. Post-2023 regulatory tightening (China’s New Chemical Inventory Management Rules) has consolidated production among ISO-certified players, raising baseline quality but increasing compliance vetting requirements.
Industrial Cluster Analysis: Key Production Hubs
China’s Cocamide DEA production is anchored in three primary clusters, driven by proximity to ethylene oxide (EO) feedstock, port infrastructure, and chemical industrial parks. Coastal provinces dominate due to export logistics and environmental compliance capacity.
| Cluster | Core Provinces/Cities | Market Share | Strategic Advantages | Key Constraints |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yangtze River Delta | Jiangsu (Nantong, Changzhou), Zhejiang (Ningbo, Jiaxing) | 72% | Highest concentration of ISO 9001/14001-certified plants; integrated EO supply chains; strongest REACH/SCCP compliance; 24/7 port access (Shanghai/Ningbo) | Premium pricing; stringent environmental audits; capacity allocation for export orders |
| Pearl River Delta | Guangdong (Foshan, Zhongshan) | 15% | Fastest lead times for Southern China logistics; strong formulation expertise (for custom grades) | Limited dedicated Cocamide DEA plants; higher risk of uncertified subcontracting; volatile pricing |
| Bohai Rim | Shandong (Qingdao, Weifang), Hebei (Tangshan) | 13% | Lowest base pricing; emerging capacity for industrial-grade volumes; proximity to soybean/coco oil imports | Inconsistent quality control; lower certification rates; longer customs clearance at Tianjin port |
Cluster Insight: Jiangsu’s Nantong Chemical Park (over 20 dedicated surfactant manufacturers) is the undisputed quality leader, hosting 60% of China’s REACH-registered Cocamide DEA producers. Zhejiang’s growth is driven by Ningbo’s port efficiency (+15% YOY export volume). Avoid inland clusters (e.g., Sichuan) due to unreliable EO supply and 25-30 day lead times.
Regional Production Comparison: Critical Sourcing Metrics (Q1 2026)

Strategic Sourcing Recommendations
- Prioritize Jiangsu for EU/US Markets: Non-negotiable for brands requiring REACH/CPNP compliance. Budget 8-10% premium vs. benchmark for audit-ready documentation.
- Zhejiang for Cost-Sensitive Bulk Orders: Optimal for industrial detergents (e.g., janitorial supplies) where color/amine specs are less stringent. Mandate 3rd-party batch testing.
- Avoid Guangdong for Primary Sourcing: Limited dedicated capacity increases substitution risk (e.g., Cocamide MEA misrepresented as DEA). Reserve for emergency small-lot orders.
- Shandong Vetting Protocol: Require ISO 9001 and on-site audit for volumes >5MT. Target Qingdao-based exporters with bonded warehouse access.
- Logistics Tip: Ship via Ningbo Port (Zhejiang) for 20% faster customs vs. Shanghai – critical for JIT supply chains.
Risk Mitigation Checklist
- ✅ Certification Verification: Cross-check REACH registration numbers via ECHA database (23% of “compliant” suppliers had expired registrations in 2025).
- ✅ Feedstock Traceability: Demand coconut oil origin documentation (Indonesia/Philippines preferred; avoid Malaysian palm-derived due to deforestation scrutiny).
- ✅ Quality Clause: Contract must specify Amine Value ≤0.7% and APHA ≤60 – standard Chinese “industrial grade” allows ≤1.5% amine.
- ⚠️ Environmental Compliance: Post-2024, 34 non-compliant plants in Hebei/Shandong were shut down – audit supplier’s EIA Approval Certificate.
“The cost of non-compliance (product recalls, customs seizures) exceeds 300% of initial price savings from uncertified suppliers.”
— SourcifyChina 2025 Risk Assessment Report
Conclusion
Jiangsu Province remains the strategic nucleus for quality-driven Cocamide DEA sourcing, with Zhejiang emerging as a cost-competitive alternative for less regulated applications. Guangdong’s role is diminishing due to specialization gaps, while Shandong requires rigorous due diligence. 2026 Sourcing Priority: Partner with Jiangsu-based suppliers possessing dual ISO 9001/14001 certification and ECHA pre-registration – this cohort delivers 99.2% on-time compliance (vs. 82.7% industry average).

White Label vs. Private Label: Chemical Manufacturing Context
Critical distinction for bulk intermediates like CAE:
| Model | White Label | Private Label | Procurement Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Definition | Factory’s standard CAE formula (e.g., 30% active, 3EO) sold under buyer’s brand | Customized formula (e.g., 40% active, 2EO/4EO blend) + buyer’s branding | White label = lower cost, faster fulfillment. Private label = formula IP ownership but higher MOQs |
| MOQ | 500 kg | 2,000+ kg | Private label requires reactor reconfiguration |
| Lead Time | 15-20 days | 30-45 days | Custom batches need stability testing |
| Cost Premium | None (base price) | 8-12% markup | Driven by R&D validation and batch exclusivity |
| Best For | Entry-level buyers; stable formulations | Premium brands; performance-specific applications | Recommendation: Start with white label, transition to private label after volume validation |
Key Insight: 78% of SourcifyChina clients in personal care use hybrid models – white label for core products, private label for hero SKUs. Avoid “private label” claims for unmodified CAE – this violates INCI naming regulations.
Estimated Cost Breakdown (FOB China, Standard 30% Active Solution)
Per kg basis – 2026 Baseline (Q1)
| Cost Component | White Label (500 kg) | White Label (5,000 kg) | Private Label (5,000 kg) | Notes |
