Octadecanedioic acid (ODDA) (C18H34O4) is an intermediate chemical used as a basic building block for the formulation of compounds. It is produced by microbial fermentation and is usually found in various plants and animal fats. It is a long waxy chain of dicarboxylic acid with two carbon components that appears as a white solid with a mildly pungent, oily odor. ODDA is widely used as a lubricating agent, food additive, emulsifier, and emollient. It is also used to manufacture pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, insulators, and detergents. As a result, ODDA finds extensive applications across the automotive, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and construction industries.
The increasing incorporation of ODDA in personal care and cosmetic products as an emulsifying, moisturizing, and surfactant agent is creating a positive outlook for the market. It is also used to produce moisturizers, sunscreen, makeup, soap, and baby lotions. In line with this, the rising knowledge of personal health, hygiene, and cleanliness, along with the surge in beauty consciousness, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the widespread product adoption for manufacturing polymers, such as polyurethane, polyphenylene oxide, polyphenylene ethers, epoxy, polyether amides, and polycarbonates, is favoring the market growth. Furthermore, the polyester polyols derived from ODDA exhibit excellent solvent resistance, optical clarity, toughness, and hydrolytic stability, which, in turn, is propelling the market growth. Apart from this, the rising environmental consciousness and the growing trend toward sustainable and environmentally friendly compounds to reduce the dependency on petrochemical products is providing an impetus to eh market growth. Other factors, including the increasing utilization of polyester polyols in the automotive industry, extensive research and development (R&D) activities, and the widespread product adoption as a thickener in grease compositions, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
