Trends Shaping the Naturally Derived Fatty Alcohol Industry in 2022

A large portion of the naturally derived fatty alcohol market's revenue is anticipated to come from sales of soaps and detergents. The rising importance of personal hygiene and the rising standard of living in developing nations are expected to fuel the expansion of this naturally derived fatty alcohol market. Additionally, the industry is anticipated to benefit from the growing interest in both household and industrial cleaning products to promote health and safety.

During the foreseen time period, the personal care market is expected to grow into the naturally derived fatty alcohol market's second-largest subsector. The increasing purchasing power of consumers in Asia and the Pacific has led to a surge in demand for luxury personal care items.

The pure and mid-cut section of the naturally derived fatty alcohol market is expected to be worth USD 2.68 billion by the year 2022. The market for product segments is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for pure and mid-cut alcohol, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.

Sodium Laureth ether sulfate (SLES) is a significant foaming agent used in the production of shampoos and body washes and is derived from fatty alcohols.

A notable development is an ever-increasing demand for products made from renewable sources

The demand for sustainable products has increased around the world as people become more aware of the hazards posed by petroleum-based goods. Companies have started using more sustainable materials in response to rising consumer demand for bio-based products.

Alcohols made from bio-based oleochemicals are recyclable and have a lower toxicity profile than their traditional counterparts. As a result of their low toxicity, these alcohols are in high demand in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors.

One such palm oil and palm kernel oil alcohol is WILFAROL 1698, which is sold by Wilmar International. KLK OLEO, another major producer, sells a line of fatty alcohols made from vegetable oils under the brand name PALMEROL. REACH, and other regulatory agencies efforts to limit the negative environmental impacts of petroleum-based products are another factor expected to fuel the demand for naturally derived fatty alcohol.

Drivers & Restraints of the Naturally Derived Fatty Alcohol Market

Rising demand for surfactants is expected to fuel the naturally derived fatty alcohol industry expansion

Soaps and detergents, which rely on surfactants, are experiencing meteoric growth in demand for naturally derived fatty alcohol. Fatty alcohol surfactants have several applications in the food, fiber, and beauty industries. They serve a variety of purposes, including wetting and cleansing, solubilizing, and emulsifying.

Since they have useful qualities, fatty alcohols are likely to be in high demand. Naturally derived fatty alcohol market expansion is also anticipated to be bolstered by the rising demand for personal care goods like liquid soaps and hand sanitizers to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Raw material cost volatility is likely to stunt the development

Tallow, palm oil, rapeseed oil, and others are used in the production of fatty alcohols. Countries in the Asia-Pacific region, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, are important sources of this commodity. Raw materials for other parts of the world, such as North America and Europe, come primarily from Asian countries.

Thus, raw material price swings are sensitive to the trade situations in these areas. Another factor working against the expansion of the naturally derived fatty alcohol market is the Indian government's recent decision to impose limitations on the import of refined palm oil.
