Global and Japan Fatty Alcohol Market Size

Product overview

Global and Japan Fatty Alcohol Market to surpass USD 9 Billion by 2030, which is valued at 5.12 billion in 2019 at a compound annual growth rate of 5.10%

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
