The 2025-2030 World Outlook for Fatty Alcohols

This study covers the world outlook for fatty alcohols across more than 190 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region, and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. In this report we define the sales of fatty alcohols as including all commonly understood products falling within this broad category, such as C6-C10, C11-C14, and C15-C22 fatty alcohols and alcohols used for soaps and detergents, personal care products, lubricants, and amines, irrespective of product packaging, formulation, size, or form. Companies participating in this industry include AkzoNobel, Archer Daniels Midland, ARKEMA S. A., BASF, BERG + SCHMIDT GmbH & Company KG, Cargill, China Sanjiang Fine Chemicals, CREMER OLEO GmbH & Company, Ecogreen Oleochemicals, Emery Oleochemicals, Evonik Industries, Evyap Sabun, Yag, Gliserin Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi, GLOBAL GREEN CHEMICALS Public Company, Ltd., Godrej Industries, Jarchem Industries, Kao Chemicals, KH Neochem Company, Kuala Lumpur Kepong, Musim Mas Holdings, New Japan Chemical Company, Oleon, Oxiteno, Procter & Gamble, PT Musim Mas, Royal Dutch Shell, SABIC, Sasol, Solazyme, TECK GUAN Holdings, Timur Oleochemicals, Vegetables Vitamin Foods Company, VVF, Wilmar International, and Zhejiang Jiahua Energy Chemical Industry Company. In addition to the sources indicated, additional information available to the public via news and/or press releases published by players in the industry was considered in defining and calibrating this category. All figures are in a common currency (U.S. dollars, millions) and are not adjusted for inflation (i.e., they are current values). Exchange rates used to convert to U.S. dollars are averages for the year in question. Future exchange rates are assumed to be constant in the future at the current level (the average of the year of this publication's release in 2024).
