Updated on : April 04, 2024
Fatty Alcohols Market
The global fatty alcohols market size was valued at USD 5.4 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 7.0 billion by 2025, growing at 5.2% cagr from 2020 to 2025. The driving factors for the market is its growing demand from personal care and industrial & domestic application.
COVID-19 Impact on the Fatty Alcohols Market
The global fatty alcohols market includes major Tier I and II suppliers like Wilmar International Ltd., Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad, Musim Mas Holdings, Godrej Industries Limited, and Procter & Gamble. These suppliers have their manufacturing facilities spread across various countries across Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, South America, and Middle East & Africa. COVID-19 has impacted their businesses as well.
These players have announced the suspension of production due to the lowered demand, supply chain bottlenecks, and to protect the safety of their employees in the US, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the demand for fatty alcohols is expected to decline in 2020. Manufacturers are likely to adjust production to prevent bottlenecks and plan production according to demand from tier 1 manufacturers.
Fatty Alcohols Market Dynamics
Driver: Increased demand for fatty alcohols in the home & personal care industry
Market penetration of natural fatty alcohols has risen in surfactant-based industries, such as personal care & cosmetics and soaps & detergents. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, there is increased awareness regarding the use of home care and personal care products. The demand for surfactant-based products, such as detergents and washing soaps, has risen significantly. The demand for soaps, hand sanitizers, and other personal care products is increasing as a precautionary measure against the spread of coronavirus.
Fatty alcohols are basic precursors for the production of surfactants, which are produced from fatty alcohol ethoxylates and sulfates. Fatty alcohol ethoxylates are non-ionic surfactants that are widely consumed in detergents used for domestic and industrial applications. Ethoxylates are products formed from the ethoxylation process. In this process, natural or synthetic fatty alcohol groups, such as stearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohols, and lauryl alcohols, react with ethylene oxide to form ethoxylates. All these fatty alcohol products differ in physical properties in terms of cloud point, density, viscosity, and flashpoint, which depend on the degree of the ethoxylation process from which they are derived.
Fatty alcohol-based surfactants are used as cleaning and wetting agents in the agriculture, cosmetics, and pulp & paper industries. The main application of these fatty alcohol surfactants in the textile and cosmetic industries is as a solubilizing and emulsifying agent. These alcohol surfactants are used as lipophilic solubilizes in the pharmaceutical industry for lotions & ointments. These functions and properties of fatty alcohols are expected to drive their demand in the homecare and personal care industry.
Restraint: Surplus production of fatty alcohols leading to oversupply
Earlier, due to stringent regulations in developed countries, such as Japan, the US, and Germany, many manufacturers started the production of fatty alcohols to promote the use of environmentally friendly products. This resulted in large-scale manufacturing of oleochemicals in ASEAN countries, such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, which used natural raw materials such as vegetable oil and fats to synthesize fatty alcohols. Easy and abundant availability of raw materials and numerous manufacturing facilities further augmented the production. This prompted regions, such as North America and Europe, to import the naturally-derived fatty alcohols on a large scale.
The forward integration of palm plantation players in fatty alcohol production and into the surfactants business resulted in the setting up of their manufacturing facilities, which led to an oversupply of fatty alcohols. The decline in prices of conventional petrochemical-based raw materials of fatty alcohols worsened the situation. Further, fluctuation in Crude Palm Kernel Oil (CPKO) prices – a key raw material used in the production of natural fatty alcohols – made consumers switch to alternative, low-cost, synthetically-derived fatty alcohol, leading to over-saturation of fatty alcohols. Therefore, the oversupply of fatty alcohols is expected to act as a restraining factor for the market growth of the fatty alcohols during the forecast period.
Opportunity: Increase in demand for bio-based and renewable resources-based products
Changing consumer preferences are observed to drive the demand for bio-based chemicals. Consumer awareness regarding the impact of hazardous petroleum-based products on the environment has increased exponentially over the past decade. Growing environmental concerns are encouraging consumers to use eco-friendly products. Such factors are impelling chemical manufacturers to use bio-based raw materials to manufacture their products.
Oleo-based fatty alcohols are recyclable and less toxic as compared to their conventional petroleum-based substitutes. They are preferred for producing personal care ingredients. These fatty alcohols reduce skin irritation and respiration problems and are the preferred choice in the pharmaceutical & personal care industries. Such attributes of natural fatty alcohols provide opportunities for producers to gain high-profit margins. Regulations from government agencies, such as REACH, related to environmental concerns associated with petrochemical-based products, are expected to support the market trend for the use of naturally-derived fatty alcohols.
Challenges: Fluctuating raw material prices
The major raw materials used for manufacturing fatty alcohols are palm oil, PK oil, tallow, and rapeseed oil, among others. Regions such as North America and Europe import these raw materials from APAC, as the latter’s geographic conditions support the production of raw materials for fatty alcohols. Due to this, prices may fluctuate often depending on the trading scenario between these regions.
In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe, the prices of palm oil have dropped significantly. Due to the disruption in the global supply chain and lockdown condition in many Asian countries, there is a significant drop in the production of palm oil. In February 2020, Indonesia’s palm oil exports fell by 12% to 2.54 million tons compared to the previous year. Palm oil exports from Malaysia, the world’s second-largest palm oil producer, fell to 8.90 million tons, a 41.7% decrease compared to the previous year. China and India are the largest importers of palm oil. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak in China, the demand for palm oil has reduced significantly. Also, due to import restrictions placed on refined palm oil in India, the supply is reduced significantly. Thus, fluctuating prices of raw materials directly affect the final prices of fatty alcohols, acting as a major restraint for market growth.
Fatty Alcohols Market Ecosystem
By type, the pure and mid-cut segment is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period
The pure and mid-cut segment accounted for the larger share of the market during the forecast period. The market growth in this segment is attributed to their extensive use in manufacturing Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES), which are present in various personal care products such as soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, and others. These factors are expected to increase demand during the forecast period.
By application, industrial & domestic cleaning segment is expected to be the largest market over the forecast period
The industrial & domestic cleaning segment is growing rapidly owing to improved standards of living and an increase in the purchasing power parity of low-income groups in emerging economies such as APAC. Furthermore, the demand for industrial & domestic cleaning is increasing as it uses fatty alcohols as a foam controller, emollient, antistatic agent, and a pacifier in powders and liquid products, to maintain a healthier and safer environment. The factors mentioned above are expected to drive demand during the forecast period.
APAC is estimated to account for the largest market share in the fatty alcohols market.
APAC is the largest and fastest-growing fatty alcohols market, owing to its increasing usage in various end-use applications, such as personal care and industrial & domestic cleaning application.
