Oleochemicals Market Dynamics

Oleochemicals are used across different products and industries, such as metalworking, automotive lubricants, greases, and personal care products. The growing emphasis on the use of inexhaustible and cost-efficient feedstocks including palm and microbial lipids to produce oleochemicals with reduced noxiousness and lower environmental influence will offer huge opportunities to the market. With the scarcity of inexhaustible resources and increasing price of crude oil, various producers have shifted towards petrochemicals, which is another factor fuelling the market growth. However, the instability in the prices of raw materials is another factor hindering the oleochemicals market share.
