Natural fatty alcohols are aliphatic compounds and derivatives of oils and fats, originating from animals and plants. These fatty alcohols are derived from fatty acids and contain an even number of carbon atoms. Moreover, they are solid waxy substances or colorless oily liquids.
They act as non-ionic surfactants, owing to their amphipathic nature, and are broadly employed in cleaning products. Natural fatty alcohols are utilized as emollients, emulsifiers, and thickeners, with applications in detergents, cosmetics, plastics, pharmaceutical, and other industrial products. As petrochemical-based fatty alcohols have severe and adverse effects, natural fatty alcohols witness high demand globally.
The demand for natural fatty alcohols market is driven by increase in demand for naturally derived ingredients to manufacture detergents & soaps and personal care products. Increase in environmental and health concerns globally with respect to the use of petrochemical-based fatty alcohols fuel the market growth. In addition, various industries are converging towards the efficient development of biodegradable and naturally derived chemicals and products by using bio-based raw materials to decrease the global carbon footprint.
Moreover, volatile prices and strict regulations from several governmental agencies associated with the ill effects of petrochemical-based fatty alcohols on the environment raises are projected to fuel the demand for natural fatty alcohols during the forecast period. However, volatile prices of raw materials and strict government regulations are anticipated to hamper the market growth. However, surge in demand from emerging regions, such as Asia-Pacific and LAMEA, is expected to present lucrative opportunities for the market players.
The global natural fatty alcohols market is segmented on the basis of source, application, and geography. On the basis of source, tit is divided into tropical oils, animal fats, soft oils, and others. On the basis of application, it is classified into soaps & detergents, cosmetics & personal care, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, textile & leather processing, and others. Geographically, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
