ReportsnReports adds new market research report global markets for oleochemicals, including natural fatty acids, biodiesel and methyl esters, glycerine, as well as derivaties soaps, dimers, branched fatty acids, and fatty alcohols to its store.

Dallas, TX (prHWY.com) January 10, 2013 - This report provides:
*An overview of the global markets for oleochemicals, including natural fatty acids, biodiesel and methyl esters, glycerine, as well as derivaties such as soaps, dimers, branched fatty acids, and fatty alcohols.
*Analyses of global market trends, with data from 2008 through 2012, and projections of compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) through 2017.
*Examination of applications by end market, such as household, personal care, oil field, and lubricants.
*Discussion of current and potential legislation that will affect the industry.
*Coverage of consumer trends that drive many of the end markets, such as cleaning, beauty, and food.
*Comprehensive company profiles of major players.

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:
*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.

METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES
The insight and analysis contained within this report are based on information gathered from a cross section of oleochemical manufacturers, end users and other informed sources. Primary interview data was combined with secondary information gathered through an extensive review of published literature such as trade magazines, trade associations, company literature, conference material, patented technology, social media sites and online databases to produce the baseline market estimates contained in this report and building on the data collected in the previous review.
With 2008 through to 2011 as the baseline, changes within each application were discussed and projections for each segment were developed for 2012 through 2017. Key findings were summarized, as well as tested, confirmed and debated with important contacts in the industry. BCC Research understands the market drivers and their impact from a historical and analytical perspective, which enabled the extraction and discussion of major developments and the subsequent impact on the markets.

The analytical methodologies used to generate market estimates are based on a projection of world economy, world trade and technology developments. All dollar projections presented in this report are based on 2012 constant dollars.
