Product Overview
Alpha-olefins are similar to organic compounds which are alkenes (also known as olefins), differentiated by having a double bond at the primary or alpha (α) position. This location of a double bond improves the reactivity of the compound and makes it beneficial for various uses.

Market Highlights
Global Alpha Olefin market is expected to project a notable CAGR of 9.25% in 2031.

The growing demand from the end-use industries such as plastics and automotive is fueling the market of alpha-olefins. Alpha olefins are applied in the production of polyethylene. Therefore, the increasing demand from the plastics industry for polyethylene production is anticipated to boost the market for alpha-olefins.

Global Mint Essential Oil: Segments
1-Butene segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2021-31

Global Alpha Olefin market is classified on the basis of Type into 1-Butene, 1-Hexene, 1-Octene, 1-Decene, 1-Dodecene. 1-Butene segment dominates the market share globally. The presence of double bond makes this element more reactive and suitable for several applications. It is used as a comonomer in the production of polyethylene. It is also used in the production of aldehydes to make fatty acids for plasticizers. This type of alpha-olefin tends to modify the properties of polyethylene to meet the specific requirements of many end-use industries.

Polyolefin Comonomers segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2021-31

Based on application, global Alpha Olefin Market fragmented into Polyolefin Comonomers, Surfactants and Intermediates, Lubricants, Fine Chemicals, Plasticizers, Oil Field Chemicals, And Others. Polyolefin Comonomers has the maximum share in the market. The major factors driving the polyolefin comonomers market are the strong growth in the developing economies such as China, India, and Brazil and the increasing demand from packaging and plastic molding & injection industries. Furthermore, the expansions in the polymer technology will also contribute to its growth.

Market Dynamics
Drivers

Increasing demand for PAO-based synthetic lubricants

PAOs gained a high popularity as a high-performance lubricants because they possess highly desirable features such as high viscosity index, thermal stability, oxidative stability, compatibility with mineral oils, and low poisonousness. PAOs not only provide the benefits of technical performance but also continue the quality of the environment in certain subtle applications. PAO-based synthetic lubricants deliver high performance in offshore drilling uses that include environmental alarms. Moreover, certain PAOs are biodegradable, thus, can be applied as a substitute for vegetable-based oils.

Growing R&D investments

A new concept to produce alpha-olefins from biomass has been adopted by several research laboratories and universities. In 2010, researchers showed that the medium-chain length free fatty acids can be manufactured by E. coli using sugars as a carbon source. The research makes use of codon-optimized eukaryotic and prokaryotic enzyme sources. The projects reported 35-40% of the theoretical yields with 2.7 g/L being attained that compares favorably with the recent research reports. Thus, growth in research and development department fuel the overall market globally.

Restraint
High price of raw material

With the surge in the cost of raw materials, the cost of manufacturing alpha-olefins also increases. This increases the overall expense of the manufacturers. Furthermore, the shifting focus of the manufacturers toward high technologies hinders the growth of the alpha olefins market. With the use of advanced technologies, the cost of manufacturing increases, as it needs high capital to adopt the new technologies. Therefore, with the increase in cost of production, the price of alpha-olefins may increase.
