Global Octyl Alcohol Market Size, Trends & Analysis - Forecasts to 2028 By Application (1-Octanol, 2-Octanol, and 2-Ethylhexanol) and By Region (North America, Asia Pacific, Central & South America, Europe, and Middle East and Africa), Competitive Landscape, Company Market Share Analysis, and Competitor Analysis
The global octyl alcohol market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% from 2023 to 2028. The increased use of octyl alcohol in pharmaceuticals plays a significant role in driving growth of the global octyl alcohol market. The pharmaceutical industry uses octyl alcohol as an intermediary in manufacturing several medicines and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The demand for pharmaceutical products grows as the healthcare sector expands due to an aging population and rising healthcare requirements. The United States alone accounted for 64.4% of all new drug sales globally in 2021, according to the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), with North America accounting for around 49.1% of overall pharmaceutical sales.
The rising demand for fragrances and flavors and the growing agrochemical sector are expected to support the growth of the market. Octyl alcohol has a characteristic aroma that makes it valuable in the fragrance industry. It is frequently utilized as a vital component in the creation of colognes, perfumes, and other scented goods. Octyl alcohol demand has expanded due to growing consumer demand for high-end, luxury fragrances as well as for personal care and beauty products.
Moreover, as an emollient, emulsifier, and thickening agent, octyl alcohol is frequently employed in the cosmetics and personal care industries. Lotions, creams, sunscreens, and hair care products all include it. The need for cosmetics and personal care products rises as the worldwide population's attention on personal hygiene and appearance grows, fueling octyl alcohol demand.
There is a growing trend towards bio-based chemical products. Globally, many countries and regulatory agencies are implementing laws and rewards to encourage the use of bio-based chemicals. These regulations may include financial aid, preferred purchasing practices, or tax breaks. As a result, the market for bio-based Octyl Alcohol is expanding as producers and consumers are encouraged to switch to them. Additionally, customers are increasingly looking for sustainable and eco-friendly products. Businesses that provide environmentally conscious customers with bio-based chemicals like bio-based octyl alcohol can stand out in the market.
The flourishing expansion of the plastic industry and growing investment in research and development are also expected to propel growth of the market. Plasticizers enhance plastics' flexibility, robustness, and processability, and octyl alcohol is used in their manufacturing. The growing usage of plasticizers in producing PVC (polyvinyl chloride) goods, adhesives, coatings, and films creates a positive prognosis for the industry. In keeping with this, the market is seeing profitable growth prospects due to the growing demand for plastic goods in the construction, automotive, packaging, and electrical industries. Additionally, the market is growing due to the increasing demand for plastic-based pipes, cables, insulation, flooring, roofing, and other building materials owing to rapid industrialization, urbanization, and infrastructure development.
Due to its low toxicity and biodegradability, octyl alcohol can be used in various sectors as a green solvent and cleaning agent. Moreover, manufacturers of octyl alcohol, particularly those producing renewable or bio-based chemical versions, may benefit from government programs and legislation favouring bio-based chemicals. However, the growing accessibility of low-cost alternatives and stringent environmental regulations limits the market growth.
2-ethylhexanol segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market. 2-ethylhexanol is a versatile compound with a wide range of applications. It is an important raw material for manufacturing several downstream goods, such as plasticizers, coatings, and lubricants. Additionally, it finds its application as an intermediary in the producing other compounds like esters and solvents. It is used as a feedstock in manufacturing plasticizers, particularly dioctyl phthalate (DOP). Plasticizers are vital additives used for increasing polymers' flexibility and tensile strength. The growing need for plasticizers in various sectors including construction, automotive, and packaging, has increased the adoption of 2-ethylhexanol.
The 1-octanol segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market from 2023-2028. The growth is attributed to the factor that 1-octanol can be produced using bio-based feedstock, and a desirable option for producers to cater to the rising demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable goods. Moreover, 1-octanol can serve as a building block in the production of biodegradable plastics and polymers, contributing to the sustainable materials market growth.
North America is expected to be the largest region in the market. The regional market growth is attributed to presence of large number of pharmaceutical firms, research facilities, and academic institutions focusing on novel drug discovery and formulations. The pharmaceutical industry is one of Canada's innovative businesses, making it the ninth-largest pharmaceutical market in the world, according to the Government of Canada. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation further claims that Mexico is the second-largest pharmaceuticals market in North America and the fifteenth-largest worldwide. As a result, the demand for octanol in the region is driven by the growing use of octanol in pharmaceuticals.
Asia Pacific is predicted to witness rapid growth during the forecast period. The region's growing cosmetics and personal care industry is driving demand for octyl alcohol as an essential ingredient in various skincare, haircare, and cosmetic products. According to the International Trade Administration, the Chinese beauty and personal care sector had substantial sales of USD 88 billion in 2021, a rise of 10% from 2020.
Sasol, BASF, SABIC, Bharat Petroleum, KLK OLEO, The Andhra Petrochemicals Limited, Ecogreen Oleochemicals, Arkema, Axxence Aromatic GmbH, Liaoning Huaxing Group Chemical, and SRL among others, are some of the key players operating in the global octyl alcohol market.
