Isostearic Acid Market: Overview

Isostearic acid is a lightly branched, liquid fatty acid produced on reaction with oleic acid and other natural mineral catalyst. The production of isostearic acid in a major way is dependent on the parent fats or oils being used in the reaction mixture. Being a fatty acid molecule isostearic acid is amphiphilic in nature. Moreover, being readily soluble in oils it is also used in the manufacturing of emulsifiers and dispersant. Isostearic acids have wide applications in industries. They are commonly used as lubricants, paints, adhesives, solvents etc., in manufacturing paints and personal care products.

Isostearic acids are commonly used in areas requiring molecular stability. In case of lubricants, thermal stability is preferred. For cosmetic formulations, odor stability is a priority. Oxidation stability is a preeminent factor for products having a long shelf. Growing demand for bio-based products, rising consumer awareness about hazards of petrochemical products, and strict government regulations against petrochemical products are likely to drive the demand for isostearic acid for the forecast period. However, volume growth in regions specifically, India, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico, Kenya, Nigeria, and Ethiopia, for personal care segment is likely to augment demand for isostearic acid. The high cost of isostearic acid and allied products, limited supply is likely to hinder the market growth.
