Microcrystalline Wax Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increased demand in coating applications is notably driving the microcrystalline wax market growth, although factors such as equipment damage and the negative impact of microcrystalline wax on the environment 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 the microcrystalline wax industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Microcrystalline Wax Market Driver

The increased demand in coating applications is one of the key drivers supporting the microcrystalline wax market growth. Manufacturers of decorative coatings, specialty coatings, and equipment coatings are contributing to the growth of the global microcrystalline wax market as the products (coatings) are used in a wide range of industries, ranging from aerospace, automotive, and woodworks to the construction and other manufacturing industries. Significantly, the coatings industry in APAC is expected to grow exponentially due to the increase in demand for decorative, industrial maintenance, and protective coatings from end-users. Thus, the increase in demand for coatings from various industrial end-users will drive the market in focus during the forecast period.

Key Microcrystalline Wax Market Trend

Increasing demand from the cosmetics and personal care industry is one of the key microcrystalline wax market trends that is contributing to the market growth. APAC has become the most popular consumer and manufacturer of microcrystalline wax. The region has become an important hub for exporting cosmetics and personal care items to developed countries, such as the US, where production has reached high levels. Due to the growth of the cosmetics business, countries like South Korea and Indonesia are likely to see a substantial increase in demand for personal care goods. Moreover, according to Cosmetica Italia, the revenue of Italy's cosmetics industry was estimated at $8.47 billion in 2019, representing a 2.6% increase over the previous year. As a result, the demand for microcrystalline wax used in the cosmetics industry has increased. Therefore, in the coming years, the aforementioned factors are likely to have a substantial impact on the market in focus during the forecast period.

Key Microcrystalline Wax Market Challenge

The equipment damage and the negative impact of microcrystalline wax is one of the factors hindering the microcrystalline wax market growth. The increase in the demand for microcrystalline wax from different sectors has led to the need to transport these products via cargo ships and tankers. As the wax is loaded or unloaded from these transport modes in the liquid form, they are equipped with cargo heating coils. After unloading, a certain amount of the wax remains at the bottom of the tank or crystallizes around the inside of the equipment, which is known as residuals. Even cargo ships that carry unrefined crude oils containing a significant amount of paraffin wax, which is highly viscous, tend to crystallize and adhere to pumps, pipes, and the walls of the tank during the loading and unloading process. These challenges can limit the market growth during the forecast period.

This microcrystalline wax 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 2022-2026.
