Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) Market Analysis
The global palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) market size reached US$ 3.556 Billion in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 5.661 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 5.30% during 2023-2032.
- There is a rise in the demand for biofuels to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change. The need for PFAD is influenced by its use as a feedstock in the manufacturing of biodiesel. It is a vital feedstock to produce biodiesel, a cleaner and renewable fuel substitute for conventional fossil fuels like diesel. When compared to fossil fuels, biodiesel is more eco-friendly owing to its ability to emit fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHGs) during combustion. Apart from this, the production of biodiesel improves a nation's energy security by reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels.
- PFAD is used to manufacture soaps and detergents because of its high fatty acid content. The market is growing because of the rising demand for cleaning goods as people are becoming more aware about the benefits of maintaining improved hygiene. The worldwide bath soap industry is expected to reach US$ 33.4 billion by 2032, according to the IMARC Group.
- The palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) demand is further propelled by its utilization in the cosmetics industry. Fatty acids in PFAD function as emollients that helps to smooth and soften skin. PFAD assists in increasing the ability of creams, lotions, moisturizers, and other personal care items to hydrate and moisturize, thereby leaving it feeling smooth and silky on the skin of users. It can also be utilized as a surfactant in personal care products to enhance compositions' spreadability and lower surface tension. Furthermore, in washing products like body washes, face cleansers, and shampoos, surfactants play an essential role in removing oil, grime, and other pollutants from the skin and hair of individuals. In addition, PFAD is beneficial in stabilizing a wider range of cosmetic products by preserving their texture and consistency over a period.
- PFAD finds applications in certain segments like in the production of animal feed or as a minor ingredient in certain food products, contributing to its market demand.

Product Description
Palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) is generated when crude palm oil products undergo physical refining. It has major components such as palmitic acid, oleic acid, triglycerides, partial glycerides, vitamin E, sterols, and squalenese. It is a light brown semi-solid at room temperature. It contains a high level of fatty acids, which makes it appropriate for a variety of uses. It is a more economical choice compared to other oils and fats in industrial operations. In line with this, PFAD can be utilized for producing biodiesel as a feedstock. It is used to create surfactants, which lower the surface tension between two substances and are commonly used in cleaning products, detergents, and personal care products. In addition, it is advantageous for decreasing the amount of waste produced while refining palm oil.
