“Fish oil were the largest source of Oleyl alcohol market in 2021, in terms of value”
Fish oil dominated the market in 2021. Its high share is attributed to its exceptional benefits such as reducing blood pressure, lowering risks related to heart diseases, helping in increasing good cholesterol levels, and promoting the release of serotonin. The rising awareness among consumers and medical professionals regarding the importance of omega-3 fatty acids has led to an increase in the usage of fish oil, thereby positively influencing the overall market growth.
“Cosmetics and personal care segment were the largest application for oleyl alcohol market in 2021, in terms of value”
The cosmetics and personal care segment dominated the market in 2021. Its high share is attributed to the increasing consumer awareness regarding personal hygiene, along with the growing demand for anti-aging products at a global level. It is found in various products such as eye cream, foundation, hair conditioner, and skin cleansers. The moisturizing and emollient properties of the product also drive its demand in personal care and cosmetic applications.
“Asia Pacific was the largest market for Oleyl alcohol in 2021, in terms of value.”
This is attributed to the increasing demand for bio-based products owing to growing consumer awareness, coupled with stringent regulations. The presence of major manufacturing companies across the region including AkzoNobel, P&G, Croda, and Ashland Inc. is triggering positive industry growth. The product demand in Europe and North America is witnessing stagnant growth on account of its mature end-use industries and comparatively low population. However, the growing utilization of bio-based raw materials instead of petrochemicals is likely to have a positive impact on the industry across the regions. Moreover, the rising consumer awareness regarding the use of natural ingredients and their benefits is favoring the product demand across the personal care and cosmetics industry.
