Increasing personal care
products demand particularly in Asia Pacific and Latin America is expected to
drive the global isostearic acid market. Increasing demand for bio-ingredient based products on
account of growing consumer awareness regarding hazardous nature of
petrochemicals derived products is also expected to have a positive influence
on the market growth. High price of isostearic acid owing to its limited supply
is expected to hinder the market growth.
Chemical esters emerged as the leading
application segment and accounted for 39.8% of the total market volume in 2013.
Cosmetics and personal care industry uses isostearic acid derived chemical
esters for applications such as skin care, deodorants, lipsticks and hair care
products. Lubricant & grease is expected to witness the highest growth of
5.6% from 2014 to 2020. Growth of bio-lubricants industry particularly in
developed economies of Europe and North America is expected drive this segment
over the next six years.
Myriad isostearic acid
applications for personal care products include skin care, hair care, liquid
soaps, bath & shower products, sun protection creams and lip colour
cosmetics. Isostearic acid ingredient acts as cleaning agents, emollient or
emulsifier depending upon the type of personal care product manufactured.
Growing consumer awareness regarding bio-ingredient based products coupled with
rising health concern is also expected to augment isostearic acid market over
the forecast period. Increasing natural products demand on account of potential
harm caused due to use of toxic agents produced by petrochemical products has
prompted the use of isostearic acid.
