Asia-Pacific Leading the Way
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate both in value and volume growth due to rapid industrialization, growing healthcare infrastructure, and rising consumer spending on personal care. This region’s strong manufacturing base and expanding middle-class population are expected to accelerate demand significantly.
Market Volume and Pricing Trends
In terms of volume, the market is forecast to grow from 1.8 million tons in 2024 to 2.5 million tons by 2034 at a CAGR of 3.3%. While volume growth remains moderate, rising unit prices and a shift toward high-value applications in healthcare and cosmetics are driving strong revenue gains.
Price trends have been influenced by fluctuations in crude oil costs, supply chain disruptions, and increasing feedstock prices. Over the past two years, average prices have risen by 7%, with a further 9% year-on-year increase in 2024 alone. Regions such as Europe continue to see higher prices due to stricter regulations and transportation costs. The adoption of AI-driven pricing models has helped early adopters improve margins by nearly 2%.
