Product overview

Fatty alcohols are primary alcohols consisting of high molecular mass. They range from 4-6 carbon to 24-25 carbon and are derived from naturally occurring oils and fats. The length of the chain relies on the source. Some commercially important fatty alcohols are myristyl alcohol (C14), stearyl alcohol (C18), lauryl alcohol (C12), behenyl alcohol (C22), and cetyl alcohol (C16). They are colorless oily fluids (for smaller carbon numbers) or waxy solids, whereas adulterated samples can appear yellowish. Fatty alcohols typically have an even number of carbon atoms and a unique alcohol group (– OH) bonded to the terminal carbon. Some of them are unsaturated and while others are branched. They are commonly used in industrial applications. The number of carbon atoms in the molecule, including 'a C12 alcohol,' which is an alcoholic with 12 carbons, for example, dodecanol, is often referred to as generically fatty acids.

Market Highlights

Market growth in this sector is based on the tremendous growth of Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES), which are used in many items for personal grooming, such as soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, and other items. This fuels segment growth during the forecast period.

By application type (in %), Global and Japan Fatty Alcohol Market, 2019

Industrial & Domestic cleaning segment accounted for XX% of the nation’s volume in 2019

Global and Japan Fatty Alcohol market is segmented by application into Lubricants, Industrial & Domestic Cleaning, Plasticizers, Food & Nutrition, and Personal Care Owing to enhanced living standards and rising purchasing power parity for low-income groups in developing nations like Asia pacific region, the industrial and domestic cleaning segment is rising exponentially. The need for industrial and household cleaning is also growing, with fatty alcohols used to maintain a cleaner and safer environment, such as a foam device, an emollient, antistatic agent, and a pacificator in powders and liquid goods.

Global and Japan Fatty Alcohol Market: Market Dynamics

Drivers

• COVID-19 outbreak

In surfactant industries, products such as personal care and cosmetics and soap & detergents, the market spread of natural fatty alcohols have increased. As a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the use of home care and personal care items is becoming increasingly important as people are becoming conscious. There has been substantial growth in requirements for surfactant-based products such as detergents or cleaning soap. As a preventative measure against the spread of coronavirus, demand for soaps, hand sanitizers, and other personal items is growing.

• Application in end-user vertical

Fatty alcohols are used in agricultural activities as they provide an excellent cleaning and wetting agent. This property makes fatty alcohol applicable in the paper, textile, and cosmetic industry. In the healthcare market, these alcoholic surfactants are used for lotions and ointments such as lipophilic solubilizes. These roles and characteristics of fatty alcohol in the home care and health care industry are expected to drive their market.

Restraints

• Variable price

Variable prices of raw material may hinder worldwide market growth in fatty alcohol. Moreover, the excess fatty alcohol output by manufacturing firms is another factor that may contribute to a rise in fatty alcohol supply that could impact prices negatively.
