The naturally derived fatty acid forms one of the highest growing market segments in the global fatty alcohol market. The demand for soaps made from naturally derived ingredients and bio-based personal care products are more in demand by the consumers. The chemical industry has gradually shifted its preference towards the use of bio-based chemicals as the prices of products derived from petrochemicals are volatile in nature. The uncertainty involved with the availability and price of the petrochemicals that may disturb the supply-demand balance has led to a higher demand for bio-based chemicals. In addition to this, there are various environmental concerns regarding the usage of petrochemicals which have majorly affected the usage of bio-based chemicals as they are more sustainable. The bio-based materials decrease the carbon footprint and are environment-friendly. Various companies are shifting their focus towards usage of bio-based raw materials and develop products that are biodegradable.
