H1 2023: The leading consumer of Erucic Acid in H1 2023 was Europe. However, the erucic acid prices depicted a fluctuating trend in the period. Erucic Acid's price fell in the first two months of 2023 and rebounding in March 2023. The demand by the downstream sectors like lubricants, printing inks, and plastics industries were sluggish in January and February as a result of the sluggish economic activity in Europe. The German economy struggled in these months due to high inflation, which resulted in less purchasing and decreased consumption of erucic acid. However, Erucic Acid’s price increased as a result of insufficient supply and a significant increase in demand for the product in March in the European market. In the period of April-June 2023, erucic acid price trend showed pessimistic attitudes. Prices decreased due to abundant product supply and a decline in the price of the feedstock rapeseed oil, and a decline in the consumption by the downstream lubricant industry of the European region. Due to increased rate pf rapeseed planting in France, the main producer of erucic acid in the European region, there was abundant rapeseed oil. Due to abundance of rapeseed oil feedstock, the production costs reduced and he suppliers reduced erucic acid prices. Additionally, decreased buying activity of erucic acid was a contributing factor towards market’s sluggish behavior.
The global Erucic Acid market displayed a consumption of 215 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of 4.01% during the forecast period until 2032.
Erucic Acid, or cis-13-Docosenoic Acid, is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. It is present in the oil-rich seeds of the Brassicaceae family of plants, especially rapeseed and mustard. It possesses a lengthy fatty acid chain and has the chemical formula of CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)11COOH. Rapeseed contains high levels of erucic Acid (HEAR), which is generally more than 40% of the total fatty Acid. High erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR) is a vital component of polymers, skincare, and medicines. Erucic acid is utilized as an essential oil in lubricants to enhance their lubricative property and the metalworking industry. Erucic acid is a versatile chemical that is utilized in a variety of products, including lubricants, polymers, hygiene products and cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
Since erucic acid is being produced from natural sources, it has been grasping interest of countries towards itself as an excellent lubricant. The increased focus on the use of eco-friendly additives in lubricants, polymers, and the metalworking industry applications have been the major drivers for erucic acid market. The polymer industry is also benefited from its use as a chemical intermediary in the production of a variety of plastics and polymers for specialized uses in multiple industries. High-erucic acid oils can be employed directly as lubricants directly in processes like manufacturing, or in formulations. It is anticipated that the global consumption of Erucic Acid will reach approximately 320 thousand tonnes by 2032.
Based on region, Europe is the leading consumer and held a market share of approximately 40% of the global Erucic Acid market. North America and Asia Pacific region stand after Europe in terms of consumption. While canola is widely utilized in North America, low erucic-acid rapeseed oil (LEAR) is the most widely used edible oil in Central Europe. Europe and North America hold the majority of raw materials (rapeseed and canola) for producing erucic acid and are dominating the Erucic Acid market. Furthermore, the growing demand of lubricants and polymers in the Asia Pacific region with new industrial development projects and economy expansion is anticipated to swell up the demand of Erucic Acid in the forecast period.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Erucic Acid market is segmented into Lubricants, Plastic, Printing Inks, Personal Care, and Others. Lubricants industry is the dominating as a consumer, with a market share of approximately 37% of the total demand in 2022. The plastic industry is also a significant consumer of the Erucic Acid market.
Major players in the global Erucic acid market were VVF (India) Limited, Godrej Industries Limited, Agilent Technologies, Inc, Bunge Limited, Perdue Agribusiness, and Others.
