Oleyl Alcohol Market: Cosmetic emollient and stabilizer for preparing dermatological products in personal care industry: Expected to Growth during Forecast by 2024

Oleyl alcohol is a derivative of unsaturated natural fatty acids. It is produced by catalytic hydrogenation of esters of oleic acid. Oleyl alcohol can also be derived by Boweault-Blanc reduction reaction of butyl oleate using sodium and butyl alcohol as raw materials. Furthermore, oleyl alcohol occurs naturally in fish oil and oils of other aquatic mammals. It is insoluble in water but miscible in other alcohols, ethers, and chloroform. Oleyl alcohol has broad range of industrial applications. It is used as cosmetic emollient, rheology modifier, defoaming agent, plasticizer, automotive lubricant, and chemical intermediate. Personal care, automotive, plastic, textile and leather, oil & gas, and printing ink industries are the key end-users of oleyl alcohol. 

Demand for oleyl alcohol is significantly driven by the growth of personal care, textile processing, and automotive industries. Expansion in the personal care industry, which is one of the major end users, is a driving factor that is expected to positively influence the demand for oleyl alcohol by the end of 2023. Oleyl alcohol is employed as cosmetic emollient and stabilizer for preparing a wide range of topical as well as dermatological products such as eye make-up, hair shampoos and conditioners, body lotions, creams, and balms. Oleyl alcohol is manufactured using natural fatty acids derived from plant as well as animal sources; therefore, it is not reactive on human skin and thus, can be suitably used as an active cosmetic ingredient. Growth in textile processing and expansion in the automotive industry are the other driving factors that are likely to boost the market for oleyl alcohol by the end of the forecast period.

Oleyl alcohol is used as a surfactant as well as softening agent during the processing of fabrics in the textile industry. It enhances the texture of the fabric, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of textiles. Oleyl alcohol is employed as a lubricating additive in grease and lube oil in the automotive industry.

Fluctuation in prices of raw materials, especially natural fatty acids, is likely to dampen the market for oleyl alcohol during the forecast period. However, increasing use of oleyl alcohol in research & development of pharmaceutical formulations for drug delivery is anticipated to provide significant growth opportunities to the global market during the next couple of years.

Asia Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of the oleyl alcohol market both in terms of production as well as consumption. ASEAN countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand currently hold the largest production base of oleochemicals, especially oleyl alcohol, and also have good trade relations with developed countries. Furthermore, the consumption of oleyl alcohol is anticipated to be the highest in Asia Pacific due to the large population dynamics. China and India are likely to witness high demand for oleyl alcohol by the end of 2023. These countries are densely populated and have broad consumer base coupled with developing end-user markets, especially the personal care segment.


Demand for oleyl alcohol in North America and Europe is anticipated to witness stabilized growth rate by 2023, due to lower population coupled with maturity in downstream markets. However, growth in these regions is likely to be supported due to usage of raw materials derived from biological resources as compared to petrochemical or synthetic derivatives. Middle East & Africa is anticipated to witness steady growth in the oleyl alcohol market due to consumption of oleyl alcohol in oil & gas, automotive, and personal care industries in the region. The region would be followed by Latin America.

Ecogreen Oleochemicals (Singapore) Pte Ltd., Croda International Plc, Sasol Olefins & Surfactants GmbH, FPG Oleochemicals Sdn. Bhd., Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, and Ashland Inc. are some of the oleyl alcohol manufacturers that are currently operating in the global market.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
