San Jose, California (Vocus) September 6, 2010

Worldwide demand for fatty esters witnessed a decline in growth in 2008 and 2009, as a result of the global economic crisis and plummeting demand for Glyceryl Monostearate (GMS) fatty esters. The fatty esters market, nevertheless, is expected to recover in 2010 and post substantial growth in ensuing years, driven primarily by rapid growth in Asia-Pacific market. Fatty esters demand in Asia-Pacific, especially the Chinese market, would benefit from sustained economic growth and continued environmental intervention regarding the content of VOC emitting ingredients.

The US represents the largest regional market for fatty esters worldwide, as stated by the new market research report on Fatty Esters. Sales of fatty esters in the US are expected to cross US$835.0 million by 2012. Europe trails the US in terms of sales of fatty esters. Growth-wise, Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest growing regional market for fatty esters, with a CAGR of about 3.4% over the analysis period.

Glyceryl Monostearate (GMS) represents the single largest segment among all fatty esters. However, fastest growth is likely to emanate from Medium Chain Triglyceride Oil (MCT Oil) segment. In terms of end-use applications, food sector represents the largest consumer of fatty esters. Personal Care & Cosmetic application is forecast to be the fastest growing end-use application with a CAGR of 3.3% over the analysis period.

Owing to the excellent emulsification as well as superior surfactancy capabilities, fatty esters find extensive usage in surfactants and specialty emollients in food, agriculture, personal care, pharmaceutical, lubricants, metal treatment, and several other applications. Fatty esters being non-greasy and non-ionic derivatives of oleochemicals are banking on their eco-friendly characteristics with low toxicity as well as low emissions of VOCs to edge out other industrial raw materials in highly environment conscious US and European markets. On the other hand, manufacturers of fatty esters are developing various ester compositions to improve performance and texture of end use products. Further, softer pricing of fatty esters is stirring up greater market interest in pepping up the content of fatty esters in newer applications in end use product manufacture.

Major companies covered include ABITEC Corporation, Acidchem International Sdn Bhd, Archer Daniels Midland Company, Akzo Nobel N.V, Cognis GmbH, Croda International Plc, Calumet Penreco LLC, Danisco A/S, Evonik Goldschmidt GmbH, FINA LLC, Lonza Custom Manufacturing, PMC Biogenix Inc., Sasol Limited, Stearinerie Dubois, Stepan Company, Subhash Chemical Industries, Sumitomo Chemical Co.
