San Francisco, CA -- (SBWire) -- 05/15/2014 --Oleochemicals are chemical products derived from triglycerides of animal or vegetable origin and are analogous to petrochemicals derived from petroleum. Commercially, they are used in three forms; fatty alcohols, fatty acids, glycerin and other products such as amines and methyl esters. They are derived from bio sources such as coconut and palm oil and are generally biodegradable, making them an ideal replacement to petrochemicals. In addition, the low toxicity makes them suitable for certain applications where toxicity could be of key importance. The current activities in the field of oleochemicals are restricted to the Asia Pacific region, particularly across countries such as China, India, Indonesia and Malaysia.

The high demand from consumer markets such as food and beverage and pharmaceuticals is expected to be a key driver for the growth of the market. Oleochemicals are being increasingly used due to the increasing focus on green chemicals across major developed regions. In addition, the volatility in prices of petroleum derived products acts as a major reason for shift in consumer focus. Furthermore, the raw material for oleochemicals is in abundance resulting in stability of prices which is of paramount importance for downstream application manufacturers.

Although surfactants, soaps and detergents have been traditionally strong markets for oleochemicals, emerging applications, especially from bio-based surfactants, bio-based lubricants, bio-diesel and downstream renewable chemicals are expected to be at the forefront of oleochemicals demand over the next five years. This is owing to the fact that compared to petrochemicals, oleochemicals are usually biodegradable and demonstrate low toxicity and thus are considered to be environmentally friendly.
