Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The rising demand for fuels and food and agriculture is notably driving the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) market growth, although factors such as FAME diesel causing contamination problems 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 the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) market industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) Market Driver

Rising demand for fuels and food and agriculture is one of the major drivers of the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) market growth.  Fuel is a major application segment owing to its use in stationary power generators, machines such as farm equipment, construction equipment, mining equipment, and vehicles. FAME is used in the food industry as an emulsifying and thickening agent. The growing food industry will fuel the demand for the FAME market during the forecast period. In agricultural applications, it is used as a pesticide and fertilizer, which is anticipated to increase the demand for FAME further during the forecast period. FAME is highly accepted by all these above-mentioned application segments due to its versatile characteristics. Some of its characteristics are high boiling point, excellent solubility in organic solvent high lubricity, and lower toxic emission. Due to these characteristics, there is an increasing demand for FAME from fuels and various other industries. This results in huge market demand for FAME, thereby driving the global FAME market during the forecast period.

Key Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) Market Trend

Strong demand from emerging economies is one of the major trends in the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) market growth. APAC is experiencing considerable growth in the FAME market. The increased use of FAME as a green solvent because of its low VOC and biodegradable nature in emerging economies like China, India, and Japan will drive its future growth. The countries in APAC have benefitted from macroeconomic policies such as those implemented to promote comprehensive growth, job creation, economic stability, and economic transformation, including efforts to increase the revenue earned by commodity-exporting countries. The continuous economic growth of China, India, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand will boost the FAME market during the forecast period. The market is gaining importance in developing regions as there are ample opportunities from various end-use industries such as fuels, coatings, metalworking fluids, lubricants, and agriculture.

Key Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) Market Challenge

FAME diesel causes contamination problems and is one of the major challenges to the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) market growth. Petroleum-derived diesel does not absorb moisture, whereas biodiesel absorbs moisture. This is because methyl esters present in biodiesel are hygroscopic. Therefore, it absorbs water from the surrounding environment. About 1,500 parts per million of water can dissolve in biodiesel. Excess water accumulates as free water, separated from fuel, and causes the rusting of engines and tanks. It also results in the proliferation of bacteria and microorganisms. As petroleum-derived fuels absorb less moisture, they tend to shed water as a separate layer at the bottom of the storage tanks. In the case of FAME fuel, the water contaminates the diesel and gives rise to conditions that are suitable for microbial growth and can lead to molds, bacteria, diesel bugs, and yeast, which spread throughout the fuel.

This fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
