The 2025-2030 World Outlook for Stearic Acids

The 2025-2030 World Outlook for Stearic Acids

This study covers the world outlook for stearic acids across more than 190 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region, and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

In this report we define the sales of stearic acids as including all commonly understood products falling within this broad category, such as acids used for soaps and detergents, intermediates, personal care products, rubber processing, textiles, and lubricants, irrespective of product packaging, formulation, size, or form. Companies participating in this industry include 3F Industries, Acme Synthetic Chemicals, Akzo Nobel, Ashland, Inc, Baerlocher, BASF, BEHN MEYER, BJ International, British Wax, Capol, Carnauba Do Brasil, Ltd., Cayman Chemical, Croda International, Deeno Group, Eastman Chemical Company, Emery Oleochemicals, Faci, Godrej Industries, IOI Oleochemical Industries, Kao Chemicals, Koster Keunen (Holland), Kraton, Kuala Lumpur Kepong, LG Chem, Mantrose-Haeuser Company, Masterol Foods Pty, Monachem Additives Pvt, New Japan Chemical Company, Nimir Industrial Chemicals, Oleon, P&G Chemicals, Pacific Oleochemicals, Parchem, Poth Hille & Company, Protea Chemicals, Pt Sumi Asih Oleochemical Industry, SABIC (Saudi Basic Industries), Stearinerie Dubois Fils, Strahl & Pitsch, Taiko Group of Companies, The Chemical Company, U.S. Chemicals, LLC, VVF, Wilmar International, and Yueyang Ch-Cheng Oleochemicals Company. In addition to the sources indicated, additional information available to the public via news and/or press releases published by players in the industry was considered in defining and calibrating this category. All figures are in a common currency (U.S. dollars, millions) and are not adjusted for inflation (i.e., they are current values). Exchange rates used to convert to U.S. dollars are averages for the year in question. Future exchange rates are assumed to be constant in the future at the current level (the average of the year of this publication's release in 2024).
