Global Oleochemicals Market is valued approximately USD 22 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 7 % over the forecast period 2020-2027. Oleochemicals are based on plant sources or animal fat and derived from natural raw materials. They exhibit very low toxicity, thus, considered to be sustainable. These products are considered as natural, green, organic, safe, renewable, and biodegradable by the scientists and consumers. Rising consumption of environment-friendly, and bio-based chemicals that can be used in various industries such as personal care & cosmetics, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, and other industries has driven the market positively. Oleochemicals is consumed in various forms such as fatty acids, used for the production of soaps and detergents, surfactants, lubricants, varnishes, and pharmaceuticals. For instance. oleochemicals are combined with caustic soda, sodium, fragrances and preservatives to manufacture organic soaps. Further, high costs of petrochemical products, shifting preference for eco-friendly products and favorable regulations has led the adoption of oleochemicals across the forecast period. For instance, human health & safety regulatory bodies such as the United States Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration have approved the utilization of organic products in several personal care products.
