Market Dynamic

MARKET REVENUE GROWTH IS DRIVEN BY GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

Recyclability of oleochemicals, rising demand for biodegradable and sustainable goods, favourable government policies for environmentally friendly products, and expanding end-user sectors are all contributing to the growth of the worldwide oleochemicals market.

The pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries are expanding rapidly, helping meet the need for these compounds. Governments worldwide are developing legislation to promote the use and manufacturing of bio-based products, fostering market expansion on a global scale. Pharmaceuticals and personal care are thought to dominate the global market among the many benefits of oleochemicals.

FLUCTUATING PRICES OF RAW MATERIALS RESTRICT THE MARKET GROWTH

The primary issue that limits market revenue growth is fluctuating raw material prices. The recent sharp changes in the price of crude oil worldwide have caused a major increase in the cost of domestic chemical raw materials. While the cost of asphalt and emulsions has increased by 30%, the cost of natural ingredients like resins, coatings, and waterproof components like styrene has only increased by 50%. It significantly increases the strain on companies that produce different compounds, such as oleochemicals.

Segment-Wise Analysis

Why is the Soaps & Detergents segment driving the market growth?

Throughout the projection period, the soaps and detergents industry segment is anticipated to experience substantial revenue growth. To make soap, you need oils and fats, which you may get from plants and animals. Triglyceride-like fatty acid molecules are produced by combining three fatty acid molecules with one glycerin molecule. These

Fatty acids are weaker and have two separate parts. One is a carboxylic group that consists of one hydrogen, two oxygen, and two carbon atoms. A hydrocarbon chain similar to the other is linked to the carboxylic acid group. Soap is typically made using a long chain of carbon atoms carrying two hydrogen atoms. In the past, animals were used to provide the alkali needed to make soap, but this is no longer the case.

Why is the Pharmaceutical segment expected to account for a large revenue share?

The global oleochemicals market is divided based on application into soaps & detergents, polymers, food & drinks, pharmaceuticals & personal care, and others. Due to the growing use of oleochemicals, the pharmaceuticals category is anticipated to hold a significant revenue share in the global market during the forecast period.

Oleochemicals can be used in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors as emollients, thickeners, and preservatives. Isopropyl myristate functions as a moisturizer in topical medicinal treatments and is used as an emollient or thickening agent in other pharmaceutical applications. Glycerin 99.7% is a humectant that is utilized in the creation of dental care items as well as cough syrups.

Region-Wise Analysis

The regions analyzed for the market include North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.

• During the projection period, the North American market is anticipated to have a market share of 6%. This growth is primarily attributable to the region’s key market players’ increased R&D efforts and the introduction of cutting-edge goods.
