Global Oleochemicals Market to Reach US$ 44.0 Billion by 2032, Impelled by Growing Focus on Sustainable Development

March 20, 2023 | Chemical & Materials

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Oleochemicals Market Report by Type (Fatty Acids, Fatty Alcohols, Glycerine, and Others), Form (Liquid, Solid), Application (Soaps and Detergents, Plastics, Paper, Lubricants, Rubber, Coatings and Resins, Personal Care Products, and Others), Feedstock (Palm, Soy, Rapeseed, Sunflower, Tallow, Palm Kernel, Coconut, and Others), and Region 2024-2032," the global oleochemicals market size reached US$ 25.8 Billion in 2023. Oleochemicals are chemical compounds that are derived from plants and animals by various enzymatic and chemical reactions. They contain less number of carcinogens, which makes them a safer option than synthetic chemical alternatives. They are used in a broad range of products and industries, from industrial products like automotive greases and fuel additives to personal care products. Some of the intermediate chemical substances produced from oleochemicals include alcohol ethoxylates and sulfates, quarterner ammonium substances, alcohol ether sulfates, monoacylglycerols (MAG), structured triacylglycerols (TAG), diacylglycerols (DAG) and sugar esters. The demand for oleochemicals is increasing across the globe with the rising product usage in the production of paints and coatings.


Global Oleochemicals Market Trends:

The global market is primarily driven by an enhanced focus on sustainable development among the masses. This can be attributed to the growing pollution levels due to the emission of harmful greenhouse gases. In line with this, numerous leading players are focusing on renewable and inexpensive feedstocks to produce oleochemicals with low toxicity and environmental impact and high biodegradability, thus providing a boost to the market. With the increasing prices of crude oil across several countries, there has been a considerable rise in the adoption of oleochemicals. Apart from this, the escalating dependency of the cosmetics industry on oleochemicals to manufacture safe products, including lipsticks and eyeshadows for its consumers, is creating a positive market outlook. Along with this, the growing product utilization in the formulation of surfactants, cleansing agents, emulsifiers, foam boosters and degreasers are significantly supporting the oleochemical market. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of oleochemicals in the production of food packaging and sanitizers for food contact surfaces is acting as a growth-inducing factor. Other factors, including rapid industrialization and extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by key players, are also positively influencing the market. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market is anticipated to reach a value of US$ 44.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.9% during 2024-2032.
