The global 1-decene market size reached USD 1.32 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 2.06 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.81% during 2025-2033.
1-Decene is a hydrocarbon that belongs to the alkene group and consists of a chain of ten carbon atoms with one double bond. It is a white, clear, mobile liquid with a pleasant odor that is toxic in nature. It is commonly produced by the oligomerization of ethylene or by cracking higher carbon content petroleum waxes. 1-Decene is widely used as a monomer in copolymers and as an intermediate in the production of oxo alcohols, epoxides, alkylated aromatics, amines, and synthetic fatty acids. It is usually stored under a nitrogen blanket and exhibits anti-corrosive properties. As a result, it is used in perfumes, oils, dyes, pharmaceuticals, resins, dough dividing machines, industrial gear systems, automatic transmission engines, and marine applications.
The increasing utilization of 1-decene in the production of polyalphaolefin (PAO) is creating a positive outlook for the market. PAO is a synthetic lubricant that is widely utilized in the automotive and manufacturing industries as a transmission, compressor, lube-oil added substance and gear oil. Apart from this, the rising consumption of packaged food products is acting as another growth-inducing factor as 1-decene is employed to produce polymers, such as polyethylene, that are used to pack these items. They are also used as food additives, glazing and polishing agents, which, in turn, has intensified their adoption in the food and beverage (F&B) industry. Additionally, 1-decene is widely used as a chemical intermediate in the production of detergents and their derivates that are further incorporated in the manufacturing of industrial surfactants. This is facilitating their usage in end use industries, which is consequently creating a positive outlook for the market. Other factors, including the rising expenditure capacities of consumers, decrease in the prices of raw materials, and significant expansion in the automotive industry, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
