REPORT SCOPE
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This BCC Research study is focused on the natural––based fatty acid industry, which is part of the wider
oleochemical industry. The natural based fatty acid industry has been a workhorse in the chemical industry
for a number of years, but it is a brightly burning star today fueled by the green chemistry agenda. The
reason is that the raw material consumed to produce the oleochemicals is mainly based on material that is
renewable, sustainable and readily biodegradable.
This study reviews how the industry has recovered from the economic slowdown of 2008 and 2009, and how
it will develop and change over the next five years through 2017. Global value demand for natural fatty acids,
as well as the byproduct glycerin, will grow 9.8% annually from the current manufacturing value of $7.7 billion
in 2011 to $13.5 billion through 2017. This is based on the expectation that prices of key vegetable oils and
animal fats will continue to rise sharply during the six–year period due to pressure on stocks from not only the
fatty acid sector, but also the self–sufficient energy generation (bio–fuel) and food industries as well as export
taxes imposed on key vegetable oils. In tandem, the demand for the base oleochemicals will largely reflect
the gross domestic product of the developing nations across Asia, South America, Eastern Europe, the
Middle East and Africa. However, the profitability for the operators will be squeezed as raw materials are a
substantial portion of the manufacturing costs and there is difficulty in passing these fully across to the
customers.

Derivatives will experience the most growth, while personal and homecare applications will reap the benefits
of the drive towards greener and more biodegradable chemicals. The wax applications (including candles
and crayons) segment is expected to benefit from the lack of sufficient paraffin volumes to meet demand as a
result of petrochemical refineries shifting production streams to match demand from the motor oil industry. A
shift towards alternative waxy substances will also be driven by the high price of crude oil passing along the

2. whole fossil fuel supply chain.
This study looks at the basic oleochemical business of fatty acids based on fats and oils and touches upon
the impact of the biodiesel industry on the market. It presents historical demand data for 2008 and 2011,
estimates for 2012 and projections for 2017. It reviews the main markets for the major acid types from stearic
acid, distilled fatty acids, polyunsaturated (including tall oil fatty acid: TOFA), fractionated fatty acids and
monounsaturated oleic acid. It reports on market sectors, reviews latest technology developments including
the patent space, provides a regional perspective, examines the changing landscape of raw material and
reviews the byproduct glycerin market.
Market shares provided by leading and active merchant players such as Emery Oleochemical, Arizona
Chemicals, Kuala Lumpur Kepong (KLK), IOI, Wilmar International Vantage Oleochemical, Oleon, Felda,
MeadWestVaco, Forchem, Braido, Oxiteno and CremerOleo are profiled. The report looks at how
government incentives and regulations have impacted the industry especially with respect to self–sufficient
energy resources and animal fat classification. It also assesses the impact of rising raw material prices, tight
supply and demand curves for certain acid chains, the uncertainty of the economy in many of the developed
countries around the world and the impact of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) accreditation.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
The fatty acid industry provides multiple products that are used in a wide range of industries due to the
functionality it offers as a result of its molecule structure. A typical fatty acid has two reactive sites; the minor
is the double bonds situated along the straight alkyl chain, while the major is a carboxylic acid group at the
start of the chain. Thus, the molecule is a starting material for a number of reactions changing the
functionality and performance dependent on the fatty acid derivative formed. Fatty acids are excellent
hydrophobes and thus are a key material for a number of very important surfactant groups.
The world economy is still in a fragile state with a number of financial stress points impacting the more
developed regions, oleochemicals will be a vital resource to meet the ingredient needs of a number of
specialty chemical formulators and consumer facing companies.
Oleochemicals service different types of markets, more industrial orientated segments require ingredients that
can achieve or even surpass the performance specification of the application at a price that is affordable
while the more wellbeing and health orientated markets require ingredients that are not only suitable for
human contact, be that externally on the skin or internally such as orally digested, but are sourced from
renewable and natural grown origins. In both cases ingredients consumed must meet all safety, health and
environmental regulations and legalization. Based on these types of demand the more wellbeing sectors will
grow faster in value terms with a CAGR between 12% and 16% from 2012 through 2017 compared to the
industrial segment at between 7% and 10% over the same period.
There are a number of governmental tax break incentives for using biomass to generate energy and produce
fuel products. There are also export tax incentives for major tropical oil plantation countries to use local
companies to develop downstream manufacturing capabilities utilizing locally sourced materials. Combined
these incentives will have a profound effect on the industry at various points along the value chain. The self–
sufficient energy incentives will not only drive up the cost of raw material for producers, it will tighten the
supply especially for tallow based economies. The export taxes will not only make it prohibitive for foreign
companies, especially those located outside Asia, to source the high in–demand, medium–chain, fatty acid
raw material; it will also mean that local producers gain an unfair monetary advantage over the competition
since derivatives of these fatty acids or refined acids such as fractionated and distilled cuts are exempt from
this export tax.
The exponential growth in certain segments of the oleochemical family led to the devastation of important
ecological systems that cannot be recovered. In addition it resulted in the diversion of not only vital food

3. ingredients, but the arable land used to grow the crops such was the eagerness of a number of companies to
benefit from the high value demand. The industry is now going to great lengths to, not only meet the growing
needs of the market, but to do this in a way that is sustainable while minimizing the impact of the food supply
chain.
SCOPE AND FORMAT
As the social condition of citizens in the developing nations rises, so too will the demand from these
communities for more premium and westernized products, reflecting the higher standard of living status.
Oleochemicals, such as fatty acids, will be a vital link in the supply chain as their outstanding functionality and
versatility make them ideal to be used in a multitude of applications. On top of this the high reactivity of this
acid enables the production of a range of derivatives that can be tailored to meet the needs of a number of
end using industries, working with the formulators to produce the ideal blend of functionality and performance.
The range of derivatives is dependent on the reaction site used. Derivatives can be produced using the acid
functionality such as saponification, esterification, ethoxylation, or amination while derivatives based on the
unsaturation include isomerization, dimerization, epoxidation, and hydrogenation acids.
Fatty acids and their derivatives have a range of functionality that can be used to support the move away
from the petrochemical based platform that is reliant on the rapidly reducing fossil fuel industry since all the
easy oil has been extracted and the remaining oil is more inaccessible, more remote and located in more
inhospitable environments. While the equivalent renewable bio refinery type platform has a long way to go to
be commercially viable and suitable to replace the petrochemical platform, oleochemicals will be a major
contributor to such development. For instance the ester derivatives have the functionality of surfactancy,
lubricity and solvency, which deliver the following benefits:
 The ability to reduce the surface tension between a polar and an apolar medium, which is important
for cleaning and emulsification.
 The ability to reduce friction, which is needed for lubricant applications.
 The ability to dissolve chemicals, which is key to providing a greener solvent substitution for cleaning.
This report provides an understanding of how the composition of various fats and oils transform into the
range, quality and types of acids produced and the applications for which those acids can be used. It
explores the various attributes of different acid types and how these cuts compete with synthetic formed
products from the petrochemical route and the major applications outlets.
This study will reveal the developments and research that demonstrate the green credentials of the
oleochemical family and how these credentials are changing the environmental profile of the chemical using
industry. This is helpful to the transformation from that of a major polluter to an industry working in harmony
with its environment to meet the needs of the current generation without detrimental effects on its
surroundings that would impact the generations to come.
The study is divided into a number of sections and covers the following fatty acid types:
 Stearic acid.
 Distilled fatty acids.
 Fractionated fatty acids.
 Polyunsaturated acids including tall oil fatty acids.
 Oleic acids.
The fatty acid oleochemical business is important for the following reasons:

4.  It is a major source of surfactants, which are starting materials for the detergent, cleaning and
personal care industries.
 The functionality and performance combination enables formulators to deliver tailored solutions to
meet a variety of customers’ needs.
 It is an important cornerstone in the development of a sustainable chemical platform to reduce the
reliance on fossil fuel based chemistry.
 It promotes the development of green chemistry that is environmentally friendly.
 Conversion of solid fats and liquid vegetable oils into a straight chain saturated or unsaturated
carboxylic acid can be used in edible and non edible markets.
