MARKET INTRODUCTION
Stearic acid is basically a waxy solid saturated fatty acid occurring in palm kernel oil, coconut oil, in the milk of several mammals, and in some other animal fats. Commercial stearic acid is a mixture of approximately equal amounts of stearic as well as palmitic acids and small amounts of oleic acid. It is mainly utilized in the manufacturing of detergents, cosmetics including shampoos and shaving products, and soaps. Esters of stearic acid coupled with ethylene glycol & glycol distearate are majorly utilized to develop the pearly effect in cosmetic products, shampoos, and soaps, among others. In addition to that, detergents are prepared from quaternary alkylammonium derivatives of stearic acid. Stearic acid is further utilized in lubricants, release agents, and also softening agents. For instance, lithium stearate is a prime component of grease. It is also utilized as a softening agent in castor oil for textile sizing. Stearte salts, including calcium, cadmium, lead, and zinc, among others, are used for softening PVC and as release agents in the production of automobile tires.
MARKET DYNAMICS
The stearic acid market has witnessed a significant growth owing to factors such as wider application in cosmetics, soaps & detergents, rubber processing, lubricants, textile sizing, pharmaceuticals, and others for various end-use industries, such as household & personal care, rubber, automotive, textile, healthcare, agriculture, and others. The demand for stearic acid has been experienced a steady rise in the past few years, and this trend is anticipated to continue in the upcoming years as well. The major reason for this is the wide range of application products that can be produced from stearic acid. The application products of stearic acid include detergents, lubricants, cleaners, hardener for candies, and production of plasticizer alcohols, among others. Major factors driving the market studied are the increasing need for personal care products and the rising application in lead-acid batteries. However, fluctuating prices of raw materials used to prepare stearic acid may hamper the growth of the stearic acid market. Nevertheless, with the steady growth in the food processing industry and cosmetics industry, there are opportunities for the market players to invest in this market.
