Castor oil is a pale, viscous vegetable oil made from Ricinus communis, a plant commonly found in the Eastern parts of the world. Castor oil also serves as a precursor to a plethora of derivatives curated through chemical transformations. These derivatives have found extensive utility across various sectors, including the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, chemical, and manufacturing industries. Castor oil and its derivatives have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, and pain-reducing properties that may offer health benefits. Castor oil is associated with antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that may help accelerate wound healing. Increasing awareness and government push for greener alternatives to petroleum-based products has led to castor oil's growing popularity in the sector of biodiesel. In addition to this, the rising trend of bio-based cosmetics combined with growing lifestyle diseases is propelling the use of castor oil in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. On the industrial front, castor oil has penetrated its usage in the manufacturing of biodegradable plastics and paints. However, the presence of counterfeit castor oil products and difficulties associated with the manufacturing and processing of castor oil and its derivatives present challenges for the expansion of the industry. Additionally, health concerns related to improper use of castor oil and the presence of alternatives to castor oil in the market further impede its growth. However, technological advancements have brought extensive improvements across the castor oil & derivatives sector, driving the development of innovative processing techniques and the subsequent introduction of novel products.
