Oleochemicals Market Size Worth $34.89 Billion By 2028

The size of the global oleochemicals market is anticipated to reach USD 34.89 billion by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.57% during the projected period. Major end-use industries including food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care & cosmetics, and plastic & polymers have increased demand for oleochemical derivatives, which can be linked to the market expansion.

Regulations governing the usage of synthetic items have also promoted the popularity of the product owing to its cost- and environmentally-friendly qualities. In the pharmaceutical, food, soap, laundry detergent, candle, wax, lubricant, and paints & coatings sectors, fatty acids are one of the most widely utilized oleochemicals. 

Oleochemicals are made from fats and oils; they come from both fossil fuels and natural sources including petrochemicals and plant and animal fats and oils. The utilization of goods generated from vegetable oils, such as palm kernel oil and palm as a key feedstock for production, has significantly changed as a result of rising crude oil costs. Due to the ease of access to raw materials, the bulk of palm oil is used in the synthesis of oleochemicals. All of these elements are anticipated to fuel market expansion.
