WorldWide Octadecanedioic Acid (ODDA) Market, Industry / Sector Analysis Report, Regional Outlook & Competitive Market Share & Forecast, 2019 - 2025 (Includes Business Impact of COVID-19)

                                          
Global Octadecanedioic Acid Market size by 2024 is expected to substantially rise. The market is expected to grow at a steady and moderate CAGR from the year 2016 to 2024. End user products and high value intermediaries derived by using renewable chemicals in high demand is likely to support the octadecanedioic acid market growth over the impending years.
 

Conventionally, dicarboxylic or dibasic acids were formed through multistep butadiene oxidation which is a chemical reaction. Raw material used in the reaction are petrochemical. To reduce the reliance on petrochemical feedstock, initiatives are taken which in turn led to the development of methods pertaining to biotechnological production, mainly, metathesis and microbial fermentation.
 

Disparities in demand and supply caused due to instable prices of the petrochemical products have provoked a shift in the direction of bio-based chemicals. Strict environmental policies in the automotive and industrial sector have played a vital role in the bio-based products development. Growing demand for polyester foams, elastomers and paints in several automotive and industrial applications are the primary factors persuading the global octadecanedioic acid market.
 

Through this microbial fermentation, production of C18 Dibasic on a commercial scale is expected to facilitate due to additional investments and expansions in the biotechnological field. In the use of biotechnological processes, vegetable oil is used as a raw material.
 

In the production of engineering polymers such as epoxy, latent curing epoxies, polycarbonates, polyurethanes, polyetherimides, polyphenylene ethers, polyphenylene oxide and powder coatings, octadecanedioic acid is a traditionally used chemical. Polyester polyols section holds major market share and is projected to grow at a decent CAGR over the predicted number of years.
 

Growing demand in octadecanedioic acid market from organic personal care products, detergents and soaps is projected to enhance the current market growth over the forecasted period. Emerging giant economies such as Japan, South Korea, China and India are scheduled to arise as the crucial end-users’ market. Increasing application opportunity in plastics and personal care is likely to enhance the product demand over the estimated period of time.
 

The basic element for preparation of a compound used in pharmaceutical and personal care is the C18 dicarboxylic acid. The cosmetic application section is projected to grow at a desirable and significant CAGR in the years from 2016 to 2024. This is because of the inclination towards natural chemical sources. Growing cognizance of natural skin-care constituents with properties of anti- aging is likely to increase the demand of octadecanedioic acid market over the next decade. In the oils and lubricating segment too, octadecanedioic acid is used as thickener in the grease compositions. In the metal working lubricants, polyamide is used. Polyamide is derived from C18 dicarboxylic acid.
 

Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a significant CAGR in the forecasted years from 2016 to 2024. The Asia Pacific region is categorized by more polyester polyols use in the construction and automotive industry. Hence Asia Pacific is expected to gain a prominent percentage share by the end of the forecast period. Growing number of infrastructure projects in Japan, China and India is likely to boost demand of octadecanedioic acid market.
 

Various measures backing up environmental sustainability and conservations are expected to promote Octadecanedioic acid application’s segments of end-use. Fortunate consumer expense patterns are likely to augment investments in the personal care, construction and automobile sector, which are indirectly supportive in the sales of octadecanedioic acid market.
 

Some of the major companies in octadecanedioic acid market include the Nanjing Chemlin Chemical Industrial Co., BASF SE, TCI America, Cathay Industrial Biotech Ltd., Croda International Plc., and Elevance Renewable Sciences Inc.
 

The octadecanedioic acid market is expected to improve and grow at a stable rate. Manufacturers are in the hunt for developing processes for efficient production and a sturdy distribution network to commercialize the application of octadecanedioic acid. The octadecanedioic acid market is highly competitive as entities strive to create acid of a higher and improved quality. Renewable content and outstanding product properties allows the manufacturers to impose a premium for the product.
