Global Fatty Acids Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Fatty Acids market size is predicted to grow from US$ 13050 million in 2025 to US$ 17280 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2025 to 2031.

Fatty acids are important component of lipids (fat-soluble components of living cells) in plants, animals, and microorganisms. Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a carboxyl group (−COOH) at the other end. It is this carboxyl group that makes it an acid (carboxylic acid). If the carbon-to-carbon bonds are all single, the acid is saturated; if any of the bonds is double or triple, the acid is unsaturated and is more reactive. A few fatty acids have branched chains; others contain ring structures (e.g., prostaglandins). Fatty acids are not found in a free state in nature; commonly they exist in combination with the alcohol glycerol in the form of triglyceride.

Fatty acids are one of the main components of lipids. According to their chemical structures, they can be divided into two categories: saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids have received widespread attention due to their benefits to human health, such as lowering cholesterol and preventing cardiovascular diseases.

The key players of fatty acids include Emery Oleochemicals, IOI, Wilmar, KLK, etc. The top 5 players account for approximately 35% of the total market. Indonesia is the largest market accounting for about 28%, followed by Malaysia and China. In terms of type, saturated fatty acids is the largest segment, with a share about 70%. In terms of apllication, the largest segment is soap & detergent, followed by fatty amine and fatty amide.
