Growth Factors

The growth in the market can be attributed to increasing prices of and a shift in the trend toward sustainable chemicals. In terms of production and product penetration, increasing demand for biopolymers is also projected to positively influence market growth.

Rising crude oil prices have resulted in a significant shift toward the utilization of vegetable oils, such as palm and palm kernel oil, as a primary feedstock for oleochemical production. In 2016, around 8% of the total volume and 70% of the total palm kernel oil volume were consumed for the production of oleochemicals. Easy availability of raw materials and minor toxicity levels and green image of the products are some of the key factors driving the market growth.

Report Highlights

Glycerol is estimated to be the fastest-growing product segment due to increasing demand for technical-grade refined glycerin in the manufacturing of metalworking fluids, adhesives & sealants, polyols, agrochemicals, oilfield chemicals, and solvents

In 2019, Linoleic (C18:2) acid emerged as the largest fatty acid product segment, both in terms of volume and revenue owing to the high product demand in the production of dietary supplements, paints & varnishes, food flavoring agents, and surfactants
