Dimer Acid Market

Dimer acids, or dimerized fatty acids, are dicarboxylic acids prepared by dimerizing unsaturated fatty acids obtained from tall oil, usually on clay catalysts. The study is segmented by product type, application, and by geography.

By product type, it includes standard, distilled, and hydrogenated segments. In 2014, the standard product segment accounted for the largest share of the market pie and was projected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period from 2015 to 2022. However, growth is projected to be highest in the distilled product segment.

By application types, it includes non-reactive polyamides, reactive polyamides, oilfield chemicals, and others. Non-reactive polyamides were the largest application segment and are projected to maintain their dominance over the next six years. Geography includes North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW. Where a market share of each is analyzed, and estimates are provided for the next seven years. These regions are further sub-segmented in different countries.

The global market is moderately concentrated. Players such as BASF, Arizona Chemicals, and Oleon N.V. accounted for more than one-third of the market pie. Some of the other leading players present in this market are Emery Oleochemicals, Croda International, Anqinig Hongyu, and Shandong Huijin Chemical Co. Ltd.

• Keeping in mind the factors mentioned above.

By product type, the study includes standard, distilled, and hydrogenated products. In 2014, standard product type accounted for the largest share of 42.50% of the market in terms of volume. However, growth is projected to be highest in the distilled product segment. At the same time, the hydrogenated product segment is projected to witness below-average growth rates during the forecast period.

The application segments covered in the study include non-reactive polyamides, reactive polyamides, oilfield chemicals, and others. In 2014, non-reactive polyamide resins were the leading application segment with 39% of total market revenue. Reactive polyamide resins are expected to witness the highest growth rate over the forecast period due to the demand from marine coatings and other industries.

The growth of the infrastructure industry in emerging markets is also projected to drive the demand for reactive polyamide resins. Oilfield chemicals is another lucrative market projected to witness above-average growth rates.
