The increasing demand for castor oil and its derivatives in major end-use industries is notably driving the castor oil and its derivatives market growth, although factors such as fluctuations in castor oil prices caused by extreme dependence on climate may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on castor oil and its derivatives industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Castor Oil and its Derivatives Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global castor oil and its derivatives market growth is the increasing demand for castor oil and its derivatives in major end-use industries. Castor oil exhibits high viscosity, excellent thermal conductivity, high pour point, and density. As a result, castor oil and its derivatives are used in textiles, soaps, cosmetics, nylon fibers, bullet-proof glass, and bone prostheses. It is used as an antifreeze for fuels and lubricants that are used in aircraft and space rockets. Castor oil is used in the pharmaceutical industry as a laxative and soothing agent. It is used as an emollient in pharmaceutical creams and lotions. Its derivatives are used as emollients and wetting agents for manufacturing shampoos, perfumery products, lipsticks, hair care products, polishes, emulsifiers, deodorants, moisturizers, creams, and lotions. Such factors will drive market growth in the forecast years.
Key Castor Oil and its Derivatives Market Trend
The use of castor oil as a source of biodiesel is one of the key castor oil and its derivatives market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. Castor oil exhibits high productivity and yield and is a superior non-edible crop for producing biodiesel. Castor oil is easily available, renewable, and cheap, and it is a suitable raw material for producing biodiesel fuel. Biodiesel burns more efficiently than diesel. Biodiesel reduces carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, oxides of nitrogen, and smoke. The increased price of petroleum and environmental concerns regarding vehicular emissions have increased its use. The increasing consumption of biodiesel is expected to accelerate the growth of the global castor oil and its derivatives market in the coming years.
Key Castor Oil and its Derivatives Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global castor oil and its derivatives market growth is the fluctuations in castor oil prices caused by extreme dependence on climate. For instance, in India, Gujarat dominates the production of castor seeds production, and significant changes in the areas under cultivation have been caused by factors such as extreme weather conditions such as drought and the unorganized nature of farming, which have led to a decline in the production rate. Price fluctuations and changing climatic conditions can lead to an imbalance in the supply chain of castor seeds. Fluctuations in raw material prices, owing to the availability of inexpensive substitutes, as well as the widening supply-demand gap because of the long storage and hoarding period, pose a serious challenge in the global castor oil and its derivatives market.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
The outbreak of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), a contagious respiratory disease, was first detected in China in November 2019. Since the disease has a high human-to-human transmission rate, it has spread rapidly. This has led to the periodic imposition of lockdowns across the different countries of the region. As a result, the production and supply chain management of castor oil and its derivatives was restricted due to the shutting down of numerous end-user industries, which hampered market growth significantly in Q1 and Q2 of 2020. However, a rise in the number of people suffering from different conditions such as constipation and dermatosis in APAC countries is expected to increase the volume of sales of castor oil and its derivatives due to its multiple benefits on health, although the demand for it is significantly lower when compared to that of other edible oils.
