New York, Jan. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to the current analysis of Reports and Data, the global Fatty Acid Methyl Ester market was valued at USD 18.4 Billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 27.8 Billion by the year 2026, at a CAGR of 5.3%. Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) is commonly known as biodiesel and is an environmental-friendly and renewable source of energy. It is superior to expendable fossil fuels in terms of biodegradability, sulfur content, and carbon emission.
The physical properties of fatty acid esters are much similar to those of fossil fuels, particularly the conventional diesel, than pure vegetable oils. FAME is also non-toxic and biodegradable. It is produced from animal fats, vegetable oils, or waste cooking oils by the process of transesterification. In the process, a glyceride reacts with alcohol forming a mixture of fatty acids esters and alcohol in the presence of a catalyst. A combination of different fatty acid methyl esters is commonly referred to as biodiesel, which is an alternative renewable fuel. Impurities, such as metals, in FAME must be restrained in the application as a motor fuel.

The market for fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) is anticipated to witness strong growth globally over the coming years, mainly due to its rising demand in biodiesel. FAME is preferred mostly over conventional diesel on account of its properties, such as lower toxic emissions. FAME is widely used in the food industry as a thickening and emulsifying agent. The growth food industry worldwide is expected to assist the market growth. FAME is being commonly used in solvent applications as a green solvent since it contains low VOC along with being readily biodegradable.
Moreover, in the leather chemical industry, it is used to produce a leather fat liquoring agent, which is used as an excellent textile detergent. Growing detergent demand is further expected to couple with the market growth over the forecast years. Its additional characteristics, such as excellent lubricity, superior solubility in organic solvents, and high boiling points are increasing its inclination in various end-use industries such as metalworking solvents, fluids, detergents & surfactants, lubricants, fuels, coating and food among several others. High fatty acid esters cost and availability of substitutes are expected to pose as restraints to market participants over the forecast period.
Among the regions, North America is foreseen to register substantial growth over the forecast period driven by soaring demand from end-use industries including personal care market particularly in the U.S. Additionally, favorable regulatory policies for biodiesel in the region to combat global warming is further projected to complement the FAME market growth. Asia Pacific regional market is predicted to attain significant growth owing to the rapid industrialization and increasing disposable income particularly in emerging economies including China, India and Southeast Asia. Consequently, the availability of substitutes such as Fatty Acid Ethyl Esters (FAEE) and Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) may hamper the market growth.
