Global Oleochemicals Market to Grow at 6.2% CAGR Through 2024: Autumn Market Research

Autumn new market research report “Global Oleochemicals Market: 2018 - 2024” estimates that the global oleochemicals market will reach $35.7 billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period (2019-2024). The market is driven by advantages offered by oleochemicals over petrochemicals such as their production through renewable resources and higher biodegradability, unlike latter which is obtained from polluting, non-renewable and exhaustible petroleum, especially as lubricants, polymers, and surfactants.

Recent Developments
• In January 2019, Shell announced that the company would be shutting down its synthetic fatty alcohol unit at Stanlow in the UK following a fire in its higher olefins plant last year.

• In September 2015, Archer Daniels Midland Company and Wilmar International Limited announced that they have come to an agreement whereby Olenex, their partnership to market oils and fats in Europe, will become a full-function joint venture with its own assets. The joint venture is expected to not only meet customer demand for a single, integrated supplier for oils and fats products, but will also support Archer Daniels Midland Company’s strategic goal of strengthening its European oils business for food products.

Asia-Pacific, the Dominant Regional Market
Asia-Pacific region accounted for the dominant share of about 60% of the global oleochemicals market value in 2018. It is also expected to be the fastest growing market over the forecast period due to easy availability of raw material particularly in economies of Malaysia, Indonesia, and China. The intermediates produced using oleochemicals are utilized across a wide range of end-use industries in the region.

The raw materials used in the production of oleochemicals in the developed economies are primarily skewed towards soya, corn, sunflower, rapeseed, tallow, and lard. However, animal fats are used as the primary raw material in the production of oleochemicals in the European region. In developing economies, especially in Asia, vendors are primarily dependent upon the tropical oils as a primary source of raw materials.

Soaps and Detergents to Account for Majority of Market Demand for Oleochemicals
Until the 1990s, oleochemicals were primarily used in food applications, with only a fraction of overall production used for non-food applications. However, since the 1990s, their applications have been expanded to other non-food and technical applications.

Soaps and detergents segment accounted for the highest usage of oleochemicals in 2018, accounting for about 43% share of the oleochemicals market size, in terms of volume. Oleochemicals are widely used in soap and detergents with various industrial and domestic applications as well as in specialty surfactants. Palm kernel oil is primarily used in the production of detergents.
