The personal care and cosmetics industry has been registering considerable growth over the past few years. This is because of the rising disposable income of people across the globe and surging consciousness among people regarding their physical appearance. A major component that is used in the cosmetic industry is fatty acid esters, because of which its demand is increasing as well. These compounds are synthesized by the dehydration of alkyl alcohol and fatty acids, and are used in the cosmetics industry as they soften the skin for creating a smooth sensation. Their growing demand is leading to the growth of the fatty acid esters market.


These days, the demand for bio-based fatty acid esters has also been increasing rapidly. These compounds are being utilized as lubricant additives for metal-cutting, automotive, and hydraulic applications. Eco-friendly fatty acid esters offer enhanced lubricity and cleaner and less toxic work environment in comparison to traditional lubricants. In addition to this, bio-based fatty acid esters are less costly, which can be ascribed to the abundance of raw materials, including plant and animal oils, for their production. The surging concerns regarding fossil fuels is predicted to drive the demand for eco-friendly fatty acid esters.
