Tall Oil Fatty Acid Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The rising use in soaps and detergents is notably driving the tall oil fatty acid market growth, although factors such as declining production of paper may impede market growth. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Tall Oil Fatty Acid Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the tall oil fatty acid market is the rising use in soaps and detergents. The physical state of oil and fats is based on their source or origin. The liquid state indicates soft texture while solid-state indicates hard texture. The improved physical and chemical properties of oils and fats have increased their use in soap and detergents. The growing awareness about the benefits of cleanliness and hygiene is creating a market for products such as soaps and detergents. The use of tall oil fatty acid is preferred due to its low cost, ease of handling, and easy availability.

Key Tall Oil Fatty Acid Market Trend
The increasing use in the rubber industry is another major factor supporting the tall oil fatty acid market share growth. Tall oil fatty acid is used as a stabilizing and vulcanizing agent in the manufacturing of rubber. Tall oil fatty acid is largely being used in the automotive industry, specifically in tire manufacturing. The increasing use of rubber mats, mechanical rubber goods, and others will increase the market share of tall oil fatty acid during the forecast period. Tall oil fatty acid with high saturated fat and low unsaturated fat is used for the vulcanization of rubber. Due to the better performance of vulcanized rubber, its demand is increasing globally. As the demand for vulcanized rubber is expected to grow, the use of tall oil fatty acid will also increase in the rubber industry.
Key Tall Oil Fatty Acid Market Challenge
The declining production of paper will be a major challenge for the tall oil fatty acid market. As tall oil fatty acid can be derived from plants, its production capacity is limited. Tall oil fatty acid feedstock is crude tall oil (CTO), which is produced through the wood pulping process associated with the paper milling business. The CTO produced is economical, but it cannot be produced by any other means other than paper milling. The decline in the production of paper due to the restrictions on cutting trees to produce paper will hamper the production rate of CTO, resulting in an overall decline in the production of tall oil fatty acid.
