Increasing industrial growth in APAC, North America, and MEA is notably driving the stearic acid market growth, although factors such as volatility in raw material prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the stearic acid industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Stearic Acid Market Driver
Increasing industrial growth in APAC, North America, and MEA is one of the factors driving the stearic acid market growth. The stearic acid market in APAC, North America, and MEA is growing due to rapid industrialization. The increased spending capacity of the middle-class populations, the availability of abundant labor, and other factors in these regions are the key reasons that encourage vendors to expand and establish new industries in these regions. Factors responsible for rapid industrialization in these regions include the initiatives undertaken by governments for industrialization, rapid globalization, and others. Rapid industrialization is fostering the demand for stearic acid in applications such as cosmetics and rubber processing, among others. Such factors will drive market growth during the forecast period.
Key Stearic Acid Market Trend
The use of stearic acid in metal processing and candle manufacturing is one of the key stearic acid market trends fueling the stearic acid market growth. Stearic acid is popularly used in the manufacturing of candles. The major factors driving the market are the high demand for decorative candles, ease of purchase, increasing penetration of online channels, and rise in demand from emerging economies. However, the use of stearic acid is not extensively commercialized in the candle manufacturing segment. This can be attributed to the availability of many other substitutes and health and environmental concerns related to the use of stearic acid. Manufacturers mostly prefer to use bio-products in candle-making, such as stearic acid, which is used as a hardener in the candle-making process. Owing to these factors, the market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
Key Stearic Acid Market Challenge
Volatility in raw material prices is one of the key factors challenging the stearic acid market growth. Various end-users require a specific color of stearic acid as per the application. The variations in the color of the acid indicate the level of impurity, and the cost of producing stearic acid with a high level of purity is high. Biosynthetic methods, such as the seeding and pressing methods of extraction of stearic acid from fat, are expensive. This makes the manufacturing cost of stearic acid quite high. Moreover, global fluctuations are seen in crude oil prices from which stearic acid is produced via synthetic routes. Such factors are challenging market growth.
