Transparency Market Research has released a new market report titled “Fatty Alcohols Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2023.”

Albany, NY, March 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to the research report, the global fatty alcohols market was valued at US$3.52 billion in 2014 and is anticipated to reach US$5.48 billion in 2023, expanding at a CAGR of 5.1% between 2015 and 2023.

Fatty alcohols are aliphatic alcohols that are predominantly linear and monohydric. These can be saturated or have one or more double bonds. Based on the raw materials used, fatty alcohols are chiefly classified as synthetic or natural. Synthetic fatty alcohols are produced from petrochemicals such as olefins and paraffin, while natural fatty alcohols are based on renewable resources such as fats, oils, and waxes of plant or animal origin. Based on carbon chain length, fatty alcohols can be broadly classified into C6-C10, C11-C14, C15-C22 and other fatty alcohols. Fatty alcohols are primarily employed for applications such as detergents and soaps, personal care and cosmetics, plasticizers, flavors and fragrances, and metal working fluids. Growth in personal care products, and detergents & soaps industries is primarily estimated to drive the global fatty alcohols market in the next few years. However, volatility in prices of raw materials and overproduction of fatty alcohols are projected to hamper market growth during the forecast period. Growing sales of cosmetics and beauty products in BRIC countries is anticipated to offer growth opportunities to the fatty alcohols market from 2015 to 2023.
