Global demand for Fractionated Fatty Acid is expected to reach a market valuation of US$ 6000 Million by the year 2023, accelerating at a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period (2023 to 2033). Fractionated fatty acids are derived from hydrolysis under high pressure and temperature from animal fats and vegetable oils, producing light and heavy fractions of both clean and soapy appearance. Fractionated fatty acid leads to 98% distilled fatty acids like palmitic acid, 70% oleic acid, 90% stearic acid, and lauric acid. The market is supported by:
They have unique characteristics that make them highly regarded for many formulations from various industries, such as detergent emulsifiers, plasticisers, metalworking lubricants, flavor & fragrances, food supplements, personal care, agricultural chemicals, textile chemical and fatty derivatives.
The increasing inclination of consumers towards cosmetics and & personal care products due to changing lifestyles is expected to boost demand for Fractionated fatty acids in the near future. A significant demand has been generated by the recent recognition of the beneficial health effects of fractionated fatty acids. The ingredient is utilized in medications, functional foods, and dietary supplements.
Recent clinical investigations indicate that short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) play an important role in the maintenance of health and the development of disease. SCFAs are a subset of fatty acids that are produced by the gut microbiota during the fermentation of partially and nondigestible polysaccharides. The highest levels of SCFAs are found in the proximal colon, where they are used locally by enterocytes or transported across the gut epithelium into the bloodstream.
Furthermore, nutritional recommendations regarding fat and fatty acid consumption are significantly driving the demand for fractionated fatty acids. Recommendations relating to both total fat intake and that of individual fatty acid groups vary but all are generally agreed that industrially produced trans fats are nutritionally unacceptable and should be eliminated from the diet and that saturated fats have questionable nutritional benefits and should therefore be minimized. This latter recommendation has, though, been the subject of considerable controversy in recent years.
Key producers are working on manufacturing Fractionated Fatty Acid in order to gain a greater market share. Manufacturers are working hard for research and development of innovative offerings to serve a large customer base and that will allow the Fractionated Fatty Acid market to grow. Hence, manufacturers are adopting strategies such as mergers & acquisitions to expand their global footprint and to their product portfolio. Further, a number of international market participants are entering into acquisitions and mergers and implementing new technology to increase commercial capacity to gain a major revenue share.
