Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Distilled Fatty Acids Market size was over USD 20.27 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 48.26 billion by 2037, growing at around 6.9% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of distilled fatty acids is assessed at USD 22.57 billion.
The growth of the market can be attributed to its growing use in cosmetic as an emulsifier or emulsification. Emollient fatty acids improve skin hydration by retaining the moisture in the skin and lowering evaporation into the environment. Whereas, the emulsification abilities of fatty acids act as a thickening factor for skin care products. Hence they are extensively used in cosmetic products. Additionally, since the cosmetics industry places a greater emphasis on quality, it makes sure that its products are of the finest quality, satisfy the needs of the customer, and have no negative consequences. As a result, the growing emphasis on cosmetic items' quality enhancement is drawing in both male and female customers. Around 70% of South Korean men reported using lotion in 2021. In that year, men used an average of 6 cosmetic and beauty items.
In addition, the majority of the cosmetic industry use natural substances obtained from plants in the production of their goods owing to its growing preference. Nearly 39% of American consumers believe that organic personal care and cosmetics goods are healthier than conventional personal care and cosmetics products. As a result, about 27% of men and approximately 21% of women in the country would primarily use organic skin care products. Further, growing prevalence of skin cancer is estimated to boost the demand for sunscreen, hence also anticipated to drive the market growth. The majority of skin malignancies are brought on by excessive UV (ultraviolet) light exposure. According to the World Health Organization, over 1.5 million skin cancer cases were diagnosed worldwide in 2020, and over 120 000 fatalities owing to skin cancer were recorded. Additionally, every year, more than 79,000 new cases of skin cancer are found in Canada. Since UV radiation is thought to cause about 70%-90% of skin cancers, the utilization of sunscreen — that filters ultraviolet radiation — is touted as an essential way to prevent skin cancer.
Distilled Fatty Acids Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Upsurge in Water Supply
- According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, the benchmark for urban water delivery in India is 135 liters per capita per day (lpcd). Under the Jal Jeevan Mission, a minimum service delivery standard of 55 lpcd for rural regions was established, which states may raise to a higher standard. Hence, the demand for PVC plastisol is expected to increase. Fatty acids are widely used in the manufacturing of PVC plastisol as they have a strong affinity for vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), which allows for a reduction in polymerization time. Hence, underground irrigation pipes made of PVC are frequently utilized in water distribution systems.
- Rise in Construction Activities
- The global construction industry must develop about 12,000 structures every day until 2050 to accommodate the estimated 6 billion people who would live in cities (around 9 billion people worldwide).
- Growing Automotive Production
- Nearly 70 million automobiles were produced globally in 2021. Comparing this number to the prior year, there has been a rise of about 2%. The top three auto and commercial vehicle makers in 2020 were China, Japan, and Germany.
- Surge in Import and Export of Distilled Fatty Acids All Around Globe
- Fatty acid import shipments in Malaysia were about 3K, with 133 Malaysia Importers purchasing from 141 Suppliers. United States, Sri Lanka, and Netherlands are the top 3 importers of fatty acids, each with approximately 7,490 shipments. Sri Lanka comes in second with about 1,680 shipments, and Netherlands comes in third with about 1,520 shipments.
- Rise in Demand for Hygiene and Personal Care Products
- Among different categories of cosmetics, skincare and makeup powders have seen the biggest gains in sales (up about 23% from 2020), followed by manicure and pedicure supplies (up about 16%), eye makeup supplies (up about 15%), and then skincare products for beauty (up about 14%).
Challenges
- High Cost of Distilled Fatty Acids
- Supply Chain Disruption for Raw Material
- Adverse Effect on Environment of Plantation - Palm tree plantations are sprouting up all across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. However, in order to make room for massive monoculture palm oil plantations, such development has devastated extensive tropical forests, which are vital homes for many endangered species, including rhinos, elephants, and tigers. For instance, between 2010 and 2021, Tesso Nilo National Park lost about 66% of its primary forest, with the rate of deforestation in 2021 nearly double that of 2020 and reaching its highest level since 2016. In 2022, additional removal of the primary forest was visible in satellite photography. The unlawful establishment of large-scale plantations to grow oil palm and other tree crops is responsible for much of Tesso Nilo's destruction.

Distilled Fatty Acids Segmentation
The global distilled fatty acids market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by source into palm, coconut, rapeseed, soybean, and others. Out of which, the palm segment is anticipated to hold the largest market revenue by the end of 2036. The growth of this segment can be attributed to rising demand for palm as the primary raw material for industrial applications given to its availability in abundance. For instance, in Malaysia, oil palm was planted on about 4 million hectares of land in 2021. After Indonesia, Malaysia is the second-largest producer of palm oil in the world. Also, palm oil is chosen over other vegetable oils including soybean, canola, and sunflower since it produces oleochemicals with the largest percentage yield and is similarly effective in this regard. However, soybean segment is anticipated to grow at a highest CAGR of 7.5% over the forecast period.
The global distilled fatty acids market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into cosmetics, plastics & polymers, lubricants, paints & coatings, soaps & detergents, and others. Amongst these segments, the soaps & detergents segment is anticipated to generate the largest revenue by the end of 2037. However, the cosmetics segment is estimated to grow at a highest CAGR of 7.8% over the forecast period, backed by growing people’s concern for skin health. Additionally, a surge in incidence of skin cancer and other skin illnesses, as well as increased knowledge of the damaging effects of UV radiation on skin is also estimated to boost the segment growth. Further, the majority of cosmetic industries are using natural ingredients obtained from plants in the production of their cosmetics products. Hence, it is predicted that this would encourage the use of distilled fatty acids derived from vegetable oils in cosmetics.
