Austin, Sept. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to the SNS Insider report, The Alpha Olefin Market size is projected to reach USD 16.6 billion by 2032 and grow at a CAGR of 5.3% over the forecast period of 2024-2032.
Growth in Automotive and Industrial Lubricants Drive Market Growth.
This has led to a substantially high consumption of alpha olefin which is translating into the growth of automotive and industrial lubricants. Their excellent properties including high viscosity index and oxidation stability make alpha olefins essential to generate synthetic lubricants. Such features are necessary to improve the durability and life of engines and equipment. Thus, over the years there has been significant progress made by major players in the alpha olefin market to meet this surging demand. For example, in 2022, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP, one of the world's top producers expanded its capacity for alpha olefins at the Cedar Bayou plant located in Texas. The growth is propelled by the growing requirement for high-performance lubricants in the automotive industry, with vehicles becoming more and more advanced and therefore demanding superior-performance lubricants in order to comply with strict emission and efficiency norms.

Key Players:
- Evonik Industries AG
- INEOS Oligomers
- Dow Chemical Company
- Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC
- Qatar Chemical Company Ltd
- Exxon Mobil Corporation
- Royal Dutch Shell
- SABIC
- Sasol Limited
- Mitsubishi Chemical Corp.
Moreover, in the 2023 timeframe, another key player, INEOS announced that it would launch a new range of alpha olefins for high-end industrial lubricants. The innovation is aimed at aiding the automotive industry in its move to construction with synthetic lubricants that give better performance in extreme applications and improve fuel economy.
Progress in catalytic technologies and production methods has played a key role in enhancing the efficiency of alpha olefin production, which has further contributed to market expansion. Metallocene catalysts, made possible by the use of a nickel or industrially insignificant metal atom, often augment metathesis polymerization capabilities in alpha-olefin production as they can increase control over molecular weight distribution and improve yields.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy further claims that the use of metallocene catalysts permits a 20 percent improvement in how swiftly chemicals can be produced compared to Ziegler-Natta catalysts. This innovation reduces production costs and overall improves the quality of alpha olefins produced.
In addition, the European Commission's Horizon 2020 program highlighted in 2023 that the improvement of catalytic processes has resulted in a reduction of energy consumption during alpha olefin production by up to 15%, thus promoting sustainable industry. These advancements in technology make alpha olefins more approachable and affordable for diverse applications such as the synthesis of high-end polymers and lubricants, assisting market upsurge as a result.
Recent Developments
- In 2024, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company announced the launch of a new, state-of-the-art alpha olefin production unit at its Cedar Bayou facility in Texas. This new unit incorporates the latest advancements in metallocene catalytic technology, enhancing production efficiency and achieving higher yields.
- In 2023, LyondellBasell Industries completed a major upgrade to its Channelview, Texas, facility incorporating the latest advancements in catalytic technology. The upgrade includes the installation of new metallocene-based catalytic systems that enhance production efficiency and reduce operational costs.
- In 2022, Reliance Industries announced the commissioning of a new alpha olefin plant at its Jamnagar complex in India. This plant features advanced catalytic technology and is designed to increase production capacity significantly.
