LATAM Dimer Acid Market Research Report Forecast to 2030
The LATAM Dimer Acid Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.44%% over the forecast duration of 2022-2030. The LATAM Dimer Acid Market was valued at USD 150.8 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 242.8 million by 2030. Dimer acid refers to a viscous, non-toxic, pale yellow or yellow liquid. It has the chemical formula C36H68O4. It has the CAS number 61788-89-4. In the white clay catalysis process, dimer acid refers to the natural oil linoleic acid obtained as the major component of the straight chain of unsaturated fatty acids or unsaturated fatty acid esters.
The LATAM dimer acid market is predicted to be driven by rising demand for polyamide resins, which will be fueled by increased construction spending. Several countries across Latin America are pursuing different public expenditures and spending on infrastructure projects to encourage the construction industry's resurgence following its collapse during the pandemic. This has resulted in major industrial development, which has increased demand for resins, printing inks, synthetic coatings, waterproof coatings, and adhesives where reactive and non-reactive polyamide is used in manufacturing. While dimer acid is commonly used to synthesize reactive and non-reactive polyamide resins. Similarly, applications in the expanding cosmetics industry are fueling market expansion. The usage of dimer acid in the manufacture of hair products, nail polish, and wax removal products, as well as compositions that comprise of dimer acid in sunscreen, cleansers, and moisturizers, is likely to raise market demand for dimer acid in Latin America. Nevertheless, market expansion is projected to be hampered by fluctuating raw material prices. Unsaturated fatty acids are generated from natural fats and oil, the production and supply of which can be disrupted by a variety of environmental, economic, and/or geopolitical circumstances, resulting in rising input costs and increased dimer acid costs.
While the potential for increased demand for oilfield chemicals as drilling operations increase is likely to generate opportunities for the market to develop. With Latin America being a key producer of oil and natural gas, increased offshore activities and drilling activities in this area, particularly in Brazil, are likely to give further market growth opportunities.
