Erucic Acid Market Size and Share Outlook - Forecast Trends and Growth Analysis Report (2025-2034)

The global erucic acid market is being driven by the rising oilseeds production and the growing high erucic acid rapeseed market. The high erucic acid rapeseed market is expected to witness a moderate growth in the forecast period of 2025-2034, growing at a CAGR of 3.20%.

Europe and North America to Significant Aid the Growth of the Global Market for Erucic Acid

Europe and North America are among the leading regions for the global erucic acid industry. Both these regions witness a significant production of erucic acid since rapeseed and canola, among others, are widely cultivated in these regions. Apart from these two regions, it is also expected that the demand for erucic acid will rise significantly in Latin America. A notable part of the production has also been achieved in the region, with the growing agricultural production of major oilseeds in Latin America.

The Asia-Pacific region is among the fastest-growing regions in the global market. In the developed countries, increasing regulations for the use of environmentally friendly additives for polymer production, lubricants, and metals are expected to accelerate the market growth. The demand for plastic, as well as polymer erucic acid in China, is expected to provide the manufacturers with lucrative opportunities for large-scale orders. This is likely to boost the market growth in the Asia-Pacific region in the coming years.
