The oleochemicals market has been growing rapidly and undergoing significant changes. The rising consumer demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable products drives innovation and diversification of product lines by such key players as BASF, Evonik Industries, and Emery Oleochemicals. For instance, in May 2023, BASF announced its plans to expand the oleochemicals capacity in Southeast Asia as a response to the increasing demand for natural-based personal and home care solutions, as well as the food industry. In turn, in April 2024, Evonik Industries introduced a new range of ultra-pure oleochemicals, particularly intended for the manufacturers of pharmaceuticals. This step has illustrated the diverse applications of these components and induced market growth.
The new EU environmental regulations have become another contributor to the growth of the oleochemicals segment, inspiring investments in more eco-friendly production. Growing environmental awareness is one of the other factors boosting the demand for such substitutes to petrochemicals in this and other industries, such as cosmetics, personal care, food, and pharmaceuticals. The emergence and rapid spread of bio-based surfactants and emulsifiers have also contributed to the discovery of new applications. Moreover, with the prices of crude oil being unstable, the oleochemicals segment is being presented as a cost-effective solution, and, consequently, it is becoming more appealing from a marketing perspective. Furthermore, some issues, such as volatile prices for raw materials and supply chain disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions, remain critical. Continuous performance of the oleochemicals market, despite this view, has been encouraged by technological advancement coupled with increased investments in research and development.

Regional Analysis
In 2023, the Asia-Pacific dominated the oleochemicals market by approximately 42% of the overall revenue in the oleochemicals market worldwide, and its growth will continue for generations to come. Mainly, the fact that the availability of raw materials comes cheap, including palm oil and palm kernel oil, in countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia is increasing the interest of the manufacturers to increase their capacities. China is a big consumer of specialty oleochemicals, as the products are used in household cleaners, cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals. India's consumption is on the rise driven by the increased demand for biodiesels and the overall take-up of fatty amine and methyl ester in agrochemicals, especially within West India, where a large majority of soap and detergent producers are concentrated. What is driving this regional growth is the expansion of personal care, food processing, and pharmaceutical sectors.
Recent Developments
