The global fatty acid esters market size is anticipated to reach $1.68 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period, according to a report published by Report Ocean. The report ‘Fatty Acid Esters Market [By Product Type (Glycerol Monostearate, Medium Chain Trigylcerides, Isopropyl Esters (Myrsitate & Palmitate) and Others), By Application (Lubricants, Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care & Cosmetics, Surfactants and Others) By Regions & Segments Forecast, 2018 – 2026’ provides an extensive analysis of present market dynamics and predicted future trends.
Rapidly growing demand of the derivatives of fatty acid esters in numerous end-use industries is anticipated to strengthen its current demand during the estimated period. On account of their natural properties concerning emulsion stabilization is likely to be among the most essential components of the food & beverage and personal care industries. Due to their superior properties of emulsification, the derivatives of fatty acid esters especially the monoglycerides have witnessed varying applications as parts of liposomal and nano- formulations in the pharmaceutical industry for drug delivery systems.
These products have low solubility which when in contact with the groundwater are showcased as a lighter and non-soluble phase liquid. source coupled with the comparatively smaller area of surface tension. Fatty acid esters do not carry the potential t enhance the hydrocarbon solubility similar to whole or an individual component including the poly- or mono- aromatic compounds.
Each derivative of the fatty acid compound constitutes of aqueous solubility of low level and low volatility & mobility. Instead, hydrolysis and autoxidation mechanisms lead to formation of growing number of the biodegradable components with the same mobility compatibility. Therefore, with such beneficial properties in the end-use applications coupled with the fatty acid esters, the demand for such products is anticipated to strengthen rapidly
The ester properties of these products depend entirely on the type of vegetable oil which is used as a raw material. Biodiesel is also among one of the most significant mixture made from these acid esters. Fatty acid methyl esters is known to be the most commonly used ester as fatty acid includes the potential for the similar physical properties like a conventional fuel (diesel), with the positive outcomes of being non-toxic and biodegradable. Therefore, these acid esters hold immense significance in the large number of industrial applications which have also witnessed road growth in the past.
