What is the Size of Global Oleochemicals Industry?
Global Oleochemicals market is growing at a CAGR of ~% in 2017-2022 and is expected to reach ~USD 50 Bn by 2028. The Oleochemicals Market is largely driven by the opportunity to replace conventional petroleum-based products in various sectors along with the easy availability of raw materials required for the production of oleochemicals.
Petroleum is a fossil fuel that when used, poses a risk to the environment. Governments are enforcing stricter regulations for the sparing use of petroleum which can be replaced by oleochemicals. Due to its numerous environmental benefits, biofuel generated from oleochemicals is growing in popularity when compared to petroleum-based diesel fuel as it can be produced from both plant and animal feedstock, making it simple to generate. Oleochemicals have a certain adverse impact on the environment such as VOC and other harmful gaseous emissions, wastewater release, hazardous waste release, etc.
The outbreak of COVID-19 further increased the demand for oleochemicals as they are used in soaps and disinfectants. During the pandemic, the fatty acids market came under pressure due to sluggish demand owing to weak downstream sectors such as industrial lubricants and tires but the fatty alcohols fared better in because the majority of these go into the making of household and personal care products. Due to COVID-19, the demand for oleochemicals was shifted mostly to personal hygiene and the pharmaceutical sector.
Global Oleochemicals Market by product Type
The Global Oleochemicals market is segmented by Product type into Fatty acid, fatty alcohol, Glycerol and Others. The fatty acid product type segment dominated the global Oleochemicals Market in 2022 and is expected to continue being the dominant segment during the forecast period.
Fatty acid category is expected to grow as a result of rising demand for bio-based fatty acids from various end-use industries such as personal care, cosmetics, chemicals, food & beverages, industrial sectors, and others. Additionally, fatty acids are cheaper than their counterparts which is further accelerating the growth of the market.
Global Oleochemicals Market by application
The Global Oleochemicals market is segmented by Application into Solid, Liquid and Solution. The healthcare & pharmaceuticals application segment was the highest contributor to the Global Oleochemicals Market in 2022. Oleochemicals are used as preservatives, thickening agents, and emollients in the pharmaceutical industry. Fatty acid derivatives like Isopropyl myristate are used as a moisturizer in topical medicinal products as well as an emollient or thickening agent in other pharmaceutical applications.
Global Oleochemicals Market by geography
The Global Oleochemicals market is segmented by geography into North America, Europe, Asia- pacific and LAMEA. Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share in 2022 among all regions within the Global Oleochemicals Market owing to the strong raw material base, and shift in consumer preference to renewable products.
