Fatty acids are organic compounds containing a carboxylic functional group. These acids are derived from coconut, soybean, palm kernel oil (PKO), tallow hydrolysis, and fractional distillation of crude tall oil. Fatty acids are the building blocks of fat in our bodies and food. They are a vital part of lipids and make up a large portion of body fat, too. They are available in various forms and find applications across various end-use industries.

The rising demand for fatty acids in end-use industries such as food & beverage, industrial, and personal care & cosmetics is driving the fatty acids market growth. The increased consumption of fatty acids in the food & beverage industry is due to growing consumer awareness of the potential health benefits of specific fatty acids, such as those in omega-3s and omega-6. Additionally, technological advancements in extraction, purification, and formulation techniques are enabling the production of high-quality concentrated fatty acid bioproducts and are contributing to the market expansion.  

The plastics and rubber industries widely use fatty acids as mold release agents, lubricants, and processing aids to improve the flow of polymers during production processes, thereby helping in fatty acid market expansion. The changing consumer trends regarding fatty acids are anticipated to generate several market opportunities for fatty acids throughout the forecast period. Emerging countries with expanding populations and rising disposable incomes offer considerable growth prospects.
