The European fatty alcohols market is likely to observe significant share loss to regions such as Central and South America and Asia Pacific.”  

Personal Care to Contribute towards Market Growth Extensively 

The fields of application of fatty alcohols include metal working fluids, fragrances, flavors, plasticizers, cosmetics and personal care, and soaps and detergents. The global market for fatty alcohols is projected to upsurge in a substantial rate owing to the rising consumption of fragrances, cosmetics, beauty products, and other personal care products. The growth of the petrochemical industry is also one of the chief reasons behind the progress of the global market for fatty alcohols.

Yet, the market is vulnerable to the shifting prices of raw materials and surplus production in the coming years. As synthetic fatty alcohols are factory-made using petrochemicals and petrochemicals are byproducts of crude oil, the fluctuating prices of oil are likely to unfavorably impact the sales fatty alcohols. Unsold stocks are also one of the key concerns of fatty alcohols manufacturers.
