Global Specialty Oleochemicals Market- Market Overview

The global specialty Oleochemicals market is expected to grow from USD 7.6 Billion in 2020 to USD 10.4 Billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 4.1% during the Projection period 2021-2028.This growth of the specialty oleochemicals market is primarily driven by increasing environmental concerns and the demand for eco-friendly products. Due to the rise in the demand for bio-based products, the demand for specialty oleochemicals is expected to increase considerably.

Specialty oleochemicals are base products that are derived from plant-based sources such as palm oil, soybeans, and sunflower oil. They are being used for the production of personal care, soaps, detergents, and lubricants among other chemical products. The government's support for the sustainable development of petroleum-based products due to the rise in environmental concerns has fueled demands for bio-based products. This is the crucial factor for the increase in demand for specialty oleochemicals. In addition to this, the rapidly rising demand for biodegradable polymers, biosurfactants, and lubricants has led to a rise in the consumption of specialty oleochemicals.

Some of the other applications of specialty oleochemicals include textiles, plastics & rubber, paints & coating, pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, construction, chemical synthesis, and other industries.

Market Dynamics

Drivers:

• Growing consumption of personal care products

The consumption of specialty oleochemicals is growing at a rapid pace due to increased consumer spending and the availability of men's grooming products. In addition to this, decreased usage of harmful chemicals, such as parabens, aluminum salts, and phthalates along with the demand for sustainable raw material has further contributed to high consumption of specialty oleochemicals in personal care products, leading to the growth of the market.

• Rising usage of specialty oleochemicals in different end-user industries

Specialty oleochemicals comprise plant-based feedstock such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, palm oil, and sunflower oil. These chemical compounds are seeing rapid usage in personal care & cosmetics, food processing, consumer goods, health & pharmaceuticals, polymer & plastic additives, textile, and paints & coatings among others. For instance, the consumer goods industry is observing rising consumer preference toward the usage of natural and less toxic ingredients in household cleaners, plastics, and detergents. This factor has considerably boosted the growth of the market.

Restraints:

• High cost associated with the manufacturing and concerns of food security

In the last few decades the demand for vegetable oils has increased that signifies the worldwide consumption of oils and fats has risen significantly. Among 105 million tons of vegetable oil produced in the years 2000 near about 15-17 million tons are used for the production of oleochemicals. This creates concerns regarding food security as it creates additional outlets when the vegetable oil is limited for another essential purpose. On the other hand, the manufacturing process encompasses high costs and the need for intensive technology. Such factors may hamper the growth of the market to some extent.

Opportunities:

• Increasing demand for biodegradable products

Rising concerns associated with plastic & polymers’ biodegradability have enabled the manufacturers to focus on the development of bio-based alternatives. In addition, the emergence of strict government regulations associated with the environmental norms further boosts the demand for biodegradable products. This has led to the replacement of petroleum-based products with being environment-friendly specialty oleochemical.

Further, in the cosmetic industry, regulations associated with the use of harmful chemical ingredients such as aluminum salts, parabens, and phthalates are projected to push demand for specialty oleochemicals.

Challenges:

• Covid-19 pandemic has affected the worldwide regional and country-level Specialty Oleochemical market

A number of countries have employed nationwide lockdowns during the pandemic. However, as they are reopening, safety measures such as social distancing are still being applied. This has caused significant economic downturns across the globe. Due to a slowdown in industrial activities and consumer markets, the chemical industry has been impacted. Hence, the global oleochemical market is projected to witness challenges due to the slow recovery of the economy and supply constraints on shipping.

Segmentation Analysis

The global specialty oleochemicals market has been segmented based on type, application, and region.

By Product

• The product segment includes specialty ester, fatty acid methyl ester, alkoxylates, glycerol ester, fatty amines, and others. The specialty ester segment led the specialty oleochemicals market with a market share of around 32.1% in 2020. The growth of this segment is mainly driven by the rising adoption of specialty ester in the manufacture of a large number of industrial products, such as for personal care (shampoos and cosmetic applications), for medical purposes as well as for automotive and architectural applications. However, the fatty acid methyl ester segment is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the Projection period.

By Application

• The application segment includes personal care & cosmetics, food processing, consumer goods, health & pharmaceuticals, polymer & plastic additives, textile, paints & coatings, and others. The personal care & cosmetics segment held the largest market share of 30.1% in 2020. This is due to the inclination towards organic personal care products. The demand for less toxic and organic ingredients in consumer goods such as perfumes, soaps, shampoos, cleaners, and detergents is increasing which in turn, is expected to trigger the demand for specialty oleochemicals in the future. However, food processing is expected to witness significant growth during the Projection period as the specialty oleochemical derivatives are playing a vital role in food processing such as frozen food, confectionery, and beverages.

By Regional Analysis

The regions analyzed for the specialty oleochemicals market include North America, Europe, South America, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East, and Africa. The Asia-Pacific region dominated the specialty oleochemicals market and held the 44.5% share of the market revenue in 2020.

• Specialty oleochemical is dominated by the Asia-Pacific market due to the presence of large manufacturing industries across Malaysia and Indonesia. The palm and coconut oil markets growing highly especially in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines; therefore, an excessive availability of raw materials has become a motivating factor for manufacturers to increase their abundance in this region.
• On the other hand, North America is the second-largest market due to its exacting government regulations towards the environment and regarding the usage of toxic and harmful petroleum-based products. The United States is the major contributor to the growth of personal care & cosmetics, consumer goods, paints & ink, healthcare industries; which is followed by Europe due to the growing significance of biodiesel and sustainability.
