The global fatty alcohol market reached US$ 5.0 billion in 2022 and is projected to witness lucrative growth by reaching up to US$ 7.5 billion by 2030. The market is growing at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
These alcohols are utilized in the manufacturing of cleaning agents, detergents and surfactants due to their excellent cleansing and foaming properties. The expanding industrial sector, particularly in developing regions, coupled with the growing focus on hygiene and cleanliness, has driven the demand for fatty alcohol in this segment.
Personal care and cosmetics have grown rapidly in India. Therefore, India accounted for more than 1/4rd of the regional market shares in 2022 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
Governments and regulatory bodies globally are introducing policies and regulations to promote sustainable practices and reduce environmental impact. These regulations encourage the use of renewable resources and eco-friendly ingredients. Fatty alcohols, being derived from natural sources, align with these sustainability goals. This regulatory support creates a favorable environment for the growth of the fatty alcohol market.
Raw materials typically account for a significant portion of the production cost of fatty alcohols. When the prices of these raw materials become volatile, it becomes challenging for manufacturers to predict and control their production costs. Fluctuating raw material prices can result in increased production expenses, which can negatively affect the profitability and competitiveness of fatty alcohol producers.
COVID-19-related lockdowns, restrictions, and transportation disruptions have affected global supply chains. Fatty alcohol production relies on raw materials such as palm oil and coconut oil, which may have faced disruptions in supply due to restrictions on transportation and trade. This could lead to delays in production and potential shortages of raw materials, impacting the global fatty alcohol market.
Heightened geopolitical tensions can create an atmosphere of uncertainty and caution among businesses. This may lead to a decrease in investor confidence and reluctance to make significant investments in the fatty alcohol industry. Capital-intensive projects such as new production facilities or research and development initiatives could be delayed or scaled back.
AI can help optimize the manufacturing processes involved in producing fatty alcohols. By analyzing vast amounts of data from production lines, AI algorithms can identify patterns, detect inefficiencies and suggest improvements to enhance productivity, reduce waste and optimize resource utilization.
The global light gauge steel framing market is segmented based on type, source, application, end-user and region.
Fatty alcohol-based surfactants are widely used in the formulation of personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers and soaps. They provide excellent cleansing properties, emulsification, foam stabilization and mildness to the formulations. The ability of fatty alcohol-based surfactants to produce rich and stable foam, while maintaining skin compatibility, makes them highly sought after in the personal care industry.
The industrial and domestic cleaning application segment is considered the second largest segment in the global fatty alcohol market due to several factors. Fatty alcohols, derived from natural fats and oils, have various properties that make them useful in cleaning products. Therefore, the industrial & domestic cleaning application segment was holding 1/4th of the global segmental share in year 2022.
The home care industry has been witnessing substantial growth in the Asia-Pacific. Fatty alcohols are commonly used in the production of household cleaning agents, laundry detergents and fabric softeners. With the increasing focus on cleanliness, hygiene and convenience, the demand for home care products has surged.
This, in turn, drives the demand for fatty alcohol in the Asia-Pacific. India is a potential player for the Asia-Pacific fatty alcohol market, which accounted for approximately 29.6% of the regional market share and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecasted period in the region.
The major global players include: Croda International plc, SASOL, Air Liquide, Emergy Oleochemicals, Arkema SA, Wilmar International Ltd., Kao Corporation, Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad, Procter & Gamble and Jarchem Industries Inc.
