The global butyl stearate industry size is anticipated to expand at an average CAGR range of 4%-4.8% from 2022 to 2032. The target market is set to reach a valuation of USD 9.42 billion in 2032, as opposed to USD 5.18 billion in 2022. This growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of butyl stearate across multiple industry verticals including textiles, cosmetics and personal care, and food and beverage, among others. The chemical further finds usage as a suitable lubricant in metalworking and as an additive for paints and printing inks. Thus, the market for butyl stearate looks forward to positive prospects in the forthcoming years.
Butyl stearate, also known as octadecanoic acid, is an organic compound belonging to the family of alkyl esters of fatty acids. It is usually prepared through a reaction of stearic acid with a suitable alcohol such as butyl alcohol. Butyl stearate has low viscosity and an oily nature and thereby has the capacity to form a hydrophobic, non-greasy film when applied to lips or skin. As a result, butyl stearate gains extensive application in the formulations of different types of makeup, lipsticks, and skin care items. Hence, the inherent features of butyl stearate generate usage for the chemical as a plasticizer in the production of plastics and polymers, as an oiling agent in the textile industry, as an emulsifying and flavoring agent in food and beverage sector, as a raw material for spin fishes, and as an emollient in cosmetics and personal care products.
Recent years have observed rapid urbanization and a gradual rise in consumer disposable income which in turn has encouraged greater spending on personal care and cosmetic products. More and more consumers are spending huge amounts on lipsticks, makeup, skincare, and personal care products. This acts as a main growth driver for the butyl stearate market. Furthermore, butyl stearate has become an ideal green chemical substitute for other potentially hazardous ingredients that are used in food and beverage, plastics, cosmetics, and personal care industries. Since butyl stearate is being increasingly used in these industries, the growth and expansion of these industries also spearhead the growth of the butyl stearate market during the forecast period.
