Market Insights
The production and consumption of fossil fuels have grown drastically, increasing carbon dioxide emissions. Soybean chemicals are a steady and positive alternative to conventional chemicals derived from crude oil or petroleum. Therefore, the demand for soy-based chemicals is projected to grow significantly over the next six years. The two most common derivatives of soybean are soy milk and soy oil. Soy milk is widely used in the food industry, and on the other hand, soy oil is widely used in the production of biodegradable plastics, biodiesel, and cosmetics.
Rising awareness about the benefits of bio-based products coupled with stringent environmental regulations is the major factor driving the market growth. Furthermore, the rising demand for biobased plastics is another factor contributing to market growth. However, a lack of raw material availability is projected to impediment the growth of the soy-based chemicals market.
North America is projected to be the most promising market for soy-based chemicals, followed by Europe. A rise in environmental concerns to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and stringent environmental regulations are likely to stimulate the market growth for soy-based chemicals in this region. However, the Asia Pacific and Latin America regions offer huge market potential. This is due to the rise in consumer awareness of eco-friendly products.
