SECONDARY FATTY AMIDE Market Set to Surpass USD 680 Million by 2025, Driven by Packaging and Polymer Advancements

The global secondary fatty amide market, valued at approximately USD 570 million in 2024, is projected to reach around USD 680 million by 2025, expanding at a steady CAGR of 6.5%. Growth is being propelled by the rising demand for slip agents and anti-block additives in the packaging industry, alongside increasing utilization in polymer processing and personal care formulations. Asia-Pacific remains the dominant regional hub, supported by booming plastic production in China and India, while Europe and North America continue to show consistent demand for bio-based alternatives.

Among key application segments, the largest share is held by slip and anti-block agents used in polyethylene and polypropylene films, vital for flexible packaging solutions. In addition, secondary fatty amides are seeing strong adoption as dispersing agents in masterbatches and as lubricants in personal care formulations. The growth of the food packaging sector, as well as hygiene products, is accelerating the adoption of these amides due to their excellent surface-modifying properties and compatibility with polymers.

On the pricing front, average secondary fatty amide prices in the United States are expected to rise from USD 3,800/ton in 2024 to nearly USD 4,050/ton in 2025, while prices in Germany may climb from USD 3,600/ton to around USD 3,850/ton in the same period. China, with its abundant raw material supply, is projected to see a more moderate increase from USD 3,400/ton to USD 3,550/ton. These price shifts are largely attributed to tightening feedstock availability, fluctuating palm oil prices, and growing emphasis on sustainable production processes.

Key players shaping the secondary fatty amide market landscape include major global producers and specialized regional firms. Notable international suppliers include Croda International (UK) and BASF SE (Germany), while leading producers in Japan such as Nippon Kasei Chemical continue to expand their portfolio of polymer additives. In North America, companies like PMC Biogenix are driving innovation with higher-purity slip agents tailored for food-grade packaging. These players are actively investing in R&D to develop more bio-based and environmentally responsible alternatives, responding to heightened regulatory and consumer sustainability demands.
