KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

The rising end-user application of epoxidized soybean oil is expected to drive the global market in the upcoming years. Epoxidized soybean oil has a number of outstanding properties which could be utilized in manufacturing valuable polymeric materials such as poly ester amide, polyurethane, and epoxy in addition to its numerous applications in other areas.


The increasing focus of modern chemical industry on the green process is likely to be a favorable factor for the market growth. For instance, the bio-based products such as epoxidized soybean oil have become more popular as nontoxic, biodegradable, and renewable chemical sources which can be easily utilized in fuels, coatings and other products. The prominent players operating in the market are embarking on the new product launch and base expansion to increase their global presence.

Epoxidized soybean oil is one of the most common vegetable oils used as an alternative in the oleo-chemical industry, owing to its cheaper price and greater output. Epoxidized soybean oil can be manufactured on a large scale with the epoxidation of soybean oil in the presence of an acid catalyst and hydrogen peroxide. Epoxidized soybean oil is generally used as plasticizers, rubber-like materials, lubricants, and polymer stabilizers in industry. The environmentally friendly character and low cost compared to products from petroleum industry is driving the demand for epoxidized soybean oil from petroleum industry. Moreover, the long fatty acid chains of soybean oils impart desirable flexibility and toughness to some brittle resin systems such as epoxy, urethane and polyester resins, which is likely to be a favorable factor for product demand. Although the demand for energy is increasing but fossil fuel reserves are very limited, as a result, the interest in the utilization of renewable resources as an alternative to petroleum-based polymers is increasing which can positively impact the market growth.
