About Fatty Alcohols Market
Fatty alcohols are alcohols derived from natural fats and oils present in plants and animals. These are derived from fatty acids and have an even number of carbons. They are either colorless oily liquids or in the form of waxy solids. Fatty alcohols are produced from natural oils such as palm kernel oil, vegetable oils, and tallow using hydrogenation. They can also be produced synthetically by oligomerization of ethylene. Also, the trend of shifting preference from powdered detergents to liquid detergents has added to the growth of the global fatty alcohols market as a much higher quantity of surfactant is used to manufacture liquid-based detergents. The market is also witnessing an emergence of bio-lubricants and biopolymers.

Executive Summary
New Report Released: Global Fatty Alcohols Category - Procurement Market Intelligence Report 2018-2022.The author of the report recognizes the following companies as the key suppliers in the Global Fatty Alcohols Category - Procurement Market Intelligence Report: BASF SE, Wilmar International, Evonik Industries, Kao, and Sasol Limited.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from the research team said: “One of the procurement best practices for buyers is to engage with suppliers that source RSPO certified raw materials. International certifications have been established by organizations such as RSPO and RTRS to help ensure the sustainability and transparency of the production and trading of vegetable oils.”
According to the report, one of the key growth contributors for the global fatty alcohols market is the rise in demand from surfactant-based industries such as detergents, soaps, and personal care products. The growing demand for these products is due to changing lifestyles, increasing per capita incomes, and urbanization in developing regions such as APAC, South America, and MEA.
Further, the report states that major procurement challenge experienced by the buyers is the adherence to regional regulations. The specialty chemicals industry, which includes fatty alcohols, is heavily regulated by various laws and regulations that need to be followed by suppliers.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains actionable insights to improve source-to-contract cycle performance in addition to a PESTLE analysis.
