Transparency Market Research has published a new research report titled “Global Oleochemicals Market (Glycerin, Fatty Acids, Fatty Alcohols), Downstream Application Potential, 2010 - 2018” to their report store.

Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 12/21/2016 --The oleochemicals market has been growing at a steady pace in the last few years. Oleochemicals are chemicals that are extracted from animal and plant fats and are used as substitutes for petrochemicals derived from petroleum. In the 1970s, as crude oil prices skyrocketed, manufacturers shifted to using oleochemicals instead of petrochemicals. According to a research report published by Transparency Market Research, the global oleochemicals market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6% to reach a value of US$15 million by 2018, from US$13 million in 2010.

A major factor expected to restrain the growth of the global oleochemicals market will be the increasing cost of feedstock.

Indonesia will give a Boost to Global Oleochemicals Market

The growth of the global oleochemicals market will witness a slowdown in Europe due to poor utilization rates. However, the surge in demand for oleochemicals in India and China is expected to offset this slowdown. Indonesia and Malaysia will also contribute to this upward swing, thereby driving the global oleochemicals market. The main contributor to the oleochemicals market in the Asia Pacific region will be Indonesia, as the country is the biggest producer of coconut oil, an ingredient that is used for manufacturing oleochemicals.

Geographically, the global oleochemicals market is segmented into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and Rest of the World (RoW). Research experts suggest, Asia Pacific will experience maximum growth in all the type segments, such as fatty alcohols, fatty acids, and glycerin. In 2011, Asia Pacific held a market share of 68% in the entire oleochemicals market. Asia Pacific also accounted for more than 60% of total global oleochemicals production capacity in 2011. Europe was the second largest market for oleochemicals with a share of 18% in 2011.
