Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/24/2018 -- Global Fatty Alcohols Market: Snapshot
With the robust growth of the petrochemical industry worldwide, the global fatty alcohols market is anticipated to rake in a healthy share of the pie. Fatty alcohols are used across numerous industries including soaps and detergents, plasticizers, cosmetics and personal care, metal working fluids, flavors, and fragrances. Therefore, the rising consumption of personal care ingredients and cleaning agents and detergents is providing a tremendous boost to the growth of the market.
On the flip side, the fluctuating prices of crude oil are adversely affecting the growth of the market. The production of fatty alcohols is highly dependent on crude oil since synthetic fatty alcohols are manufactured using petrochemicals and petrochemicals are derivatives of crude oil. Moreover, the overproduction along with the unsold stocks is one of the primary concerns of manufacturers. However, the increasing sales of beauty products and cosmetics in BRIC countries are creating ample opportunities for the growth of the market.
Owing to these factors, the valuation of the global fatty alcohols market is poised to reach US$5.48 bn by the end of 2023, progressing at a CAGR of 5.1% between 2015 and 2023.
