The global castor oil derivatives market size was USD 1,035.4 million in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 1,429.7 million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period.


Castor oil and its derivatives are multi-featured chemicals and widely used in the manufacturing of paints, lubricants, coatings, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other products. Owing to their excellent chemical properties, these derivatives are gaining popularity. Leading ingredient manufacturing companies are launching castor oil-based ingredients to tap opportunities in the green chemicals market. For instance, in August 2020, BASF SE launched a Lamesoft Balance, a hydrogenated castor oil-based product to stabilize ingredients in hair and skin cleansing formulations. It helps in providing homogeneous rheology in cleansing formulations, which is often challenging to obtain. Such activities are fueling the castor oil derivatives market growth. 


Utmost Impact on Global Trade of Castor Oil and Derivatives During COVID-19


India, Brazil, and China are leading suppliers of castor oil in the world. Amid the COVID-19 outbreak, the production of castor oil in these countries was severely hit due to limited or no access to manufacturing sites, limited feedstock, and manpower. Disrupted supply chains and declined production further resulted in an export downturn. For instance, according to ‘The Solvent Extractors Association of India’ and global industry expert estimates, global demand and export of castor oil may fall by 10-30% due to weaker demand following the pandemic. However, with the gradual lifting of lockdowns and supply chains normalization in the world is projected to show growth in the last quarter of 2020.  


LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Adoption of Castor Oil Derivatives in Personal Care Products is a Key Trend


The cosmetics and perfumeries segment is one of the emerging applications of castor oil derivatives in the global market. Castor wax, castor oil esters, zinc ricinoleate, undecylenic acid are few of the key derivatives used in the manufacturing of hair care, skincare & lip care products, and perfumeries. These derivatives perform different roles during cosmetic manufacturing such as surfactants, emulsion stabilizers, skin conditioning agents, and others. With the increasing demand for natural cosmetics products globally, the adoption of natural ingredients is expected to increase in the future. In March 2020, Revlon launched a new collection of hair care products based on black castor oil, aloe vera, and vitamins under its ‘Creme of Nature’ brand.     


DRIVING FACTORS


Diverse Application of Castor Oil is Driving the Growth of Market


Because of the unique fatty acid structure, castor oil and its derivatives offer vast advantages as compared to other vegetable oils. Applications of oils derived from cotton, coconut, soy, corn, rapeseed are limited mostly to edible purposes. Castor oil derivatives are renewable, natural, and versatile in physicochemical properties. Thus, these products are preferred as a key raw material in multiple applications including lubricants, oleo-chemicals, medical, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, bio-energy among others. Owing to the rising importance of green chemicals globally, the market is expected to indicate stable growth in the forthcoming years. 


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Wavering Prices of Raw Materials to Restrain Growth


Castor oil is a prime feedstock for the production of its derivatives. The castor oil yield is highly dependent on conditions such as temperature, light, rainfall, soil characteristics, latitude, altitude among others. Depending on the yield, the price of castor oil is decided. The unstable prices affect downstream production and demand of castor oil derivatives, thus reducing profit margins. However, with the rapid adoption of modern agricultural practices backed by government policies will elevate the business of oils in the near future.


SEGMENTATION


By Product Type Analysis


Sebacic Acid Segment Accounted for the Largest Revenue Share of the Global Castor Oil Derivatives Market


Sebacic acid is a bio-based and unique feedstock for the production of biopolymers. Owing to performance benefits such as durability, hydrophobicity, flexibility, and low melting points, it is widely adopted in the manufacturing of polyamides. Moreover, sebacic acid is adopted as an additive in lubricants, as a buffering agent in personal care products, as a corrosion inhibitor, and in the production of esters. Such diversity of sebacic acid among different applications is boosting the growth of the segment. Also, continuous advancement in bioplastics is propelling demand for sebacic acid as a key raw material.
