Sebacic Acid Market Size
Sebacic Acid Market size exceeded USD 385 Million, globally in 2018 and is estimated to grow at over 5.5% CAGR between 2019 and 2026 owing to increasing lubricants demand in automotive and industrial sector.
Sebacic acid is powdered crystal or white flake which is obtained from castor oil by utilizing sulfuric acid with catalysts including phenol & zinc oxide and sodium hydroxide. Sebacic acid is widely used in various end use industries including lubricants, plasticizers, hydraulic fluids, candles, and cosmetics.
Downstream potential of sebacic acid includes dibutyl sebacate, dioctyl sebacate, dimethyl sebacate, diisopropyl sebacate, and disodium sebacate. These are used in several sectors including polymers and cosmetics. Growing cosmetics sector growth owing to increasing personal grooming trends may propel the sebacic acid market share.
Global bio-based polymers market size is poised to surpass over USD 9,900 million at the end of 2026. High investment in bio-based manufacturing of several products including fuels, polymers, lubricants, materials, and chemicals will have a positive impact. Sebacic acid is derived from castor oil which is a unique solution for the bio-based polymers and has ecological benefits of reduced environmental hazards and waste generation.
According to market forecasts, ongoing product innovations by the market players to provide bio-based products in order to reduce environmental impact are the driving factors. Market growth may be hampered due to availability of multiple substitutes including azelic acid and adipic acid. Companies including Emery Oileochemicals, which is a specialty chemicals manufacturer has launched EDNOL DOZ which is azelic acid-based plasticizer mainly for PVC and synthetic rubber applications.
Sebacic Acid Market Analysis
Sebacic acid market is bifurcated on the basis of application as plasticizers, lubricants, solvents, adhesives, and chemical intermediates. Plasticizers including dibutyl sebacate, dioctyl sebacate, diethyl sebacate, and sebacic acid dihydrazide are widely used in alkyd resin, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide molding resins, and polyester resin. The product is used for manufacturing dibutyl sebacate which is a bio-based dibutyl ester of the sebacic acid. It is a specialty plasticizer which provides superior low temperature and excellent compatibility characteristics to various polymers.
Global plasticizer market size will reach over USD 18,500 million at the end of 2026 owing to increasing polymers and plastics utilization globally. These sebacate plasticizer provides superior low temperature properties in comparison to the phthalate plasticizers. Market demand will be attributed to shift in focus towards production and consumption of bio-based polymers in order to reduce negative environment impact.
Sebacic acid market growth will be supported by consumer inclination towards bio lubricant over conventional owing to low CO emission and stringent environmental policies. Lubricants application accounted market size over 120 million in 2018. Sebacic acid is used as additives for low temperature lubricants at high altitudes. Additionally, investments in automotive industry to develop high-performance fuel-efficient vehicles along with rise in consumer spending will stimulate the product sales.
Global lubricant industry growth will witness significant gains and rise over USD 180 billion at the end of 2026. Sebacic acid due to excellent lubricity, low temperature fluidity, high flash points, and higher thermal stability is widely used for manufacturing lubricants for automotive and aerospace sector. The product is also used as raw material to produce sebacate diesters such as DOS and DBS which in turn used in lubricants or complexed greases.
North America is likely to witness a growth rate of over 4% through 2026. Increasing regional market size should be attributed to rising living standards which has led to increasing expenditure on cosmetics. This is accompanied by presence of various multinational corporations engaged in manufacturing premium beauty products in the U.S.
The product is used as a chemical intermediate for manufacturing esters which are utilized as solvent, emollient, masking agent, film forming agents and hair & skin conditioning agent. In addition, sebacate esters derived from sebacic acid is used for manufacturing color cosmetics and skin care. It offers silky and non-oily skin feel along with good pigment dispersant, SPF booster, and also prevents whitening in antiperspirant.
Growing market demand in North America is attributed to increasing utilization of skin care products due to growing personal grooming trends due to growing product utilization for manufacturing color cosmetics and skin care products. Sebacic acid industry demand will be attributed to increasing utilization of beauty products.
