The
global dimer acid market is expected to reach USD 2.30
billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing
consumption of polyamide resins in marine coatings is a major growth driving
factor over the forecast period. Increasing oilfield chemicals demand which
uses dimer acid as feedstock owing to rising drilling activities to meet excess
energy demand is also expected to drive the demand growth.
Asia
Pacific and Latin America are expected to witness brisk growth owing to
increasing construction activities in the regions. Emerging economies such as
China and India along with Southeast Asia have been witnessing significant
construction spending due to urbanization and industrial growth.
The
industry faces challenges in terms of raw material availability. The fatty acid
production which is largely done through vegetable oils has been facing high
demand from food & biofuels industries, therefore tightening its supply for
production of dimer acid.

Another
challenge market participants face is the low biodegradation rate of products
made of these acids. Considering increasing importance for recyclability of
materials, development of novel technologies to tackle the issue is crucial for
development prospects.
Reactive
polyamide resins segment was the dominant application accounted for over 40% of
the overall volume in 2015. High demand for epoxy, marine and flooring coatings
to drive the segment growth at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2016 to 2024.

Further key
findings from the study suggest:
- Global dimer acid market demand was 467.4 kilo
tons in 2015 and is expected to reach 671.7 kilo tons by 2024, growing at
a CAGR of 4.0% from 2015 to 2024
- The nonreactive polyamide resin is expected to
exhibit considerable growth accounting for over 40% of total market volume
by 2024. The increasing use of nonreactive polyamide resins, which are
based on dimers, for printing inks and paper coatings, is anticipated to
boost application segment growth over the forecast period.
- Asia Pacific was the dominant regional market
with demand share exceeding 38% in 2015. Economic growth coupled with
increasing migration has resulted in increasing sustainable infrastructure
needs thereby facilitating demand for dimer acid based reactive polyamide
resins. Increasing compliance of producers with stringent EU regulations
to positively impact demand in the Eurpoen market
- Some of the key players operating in global
dimer acid market include BASF, Arizona Chemicals, Emery Oleochemicals,
Aturex Group, Croda International, Anqing Hongyu Chemicals Co. Ltd.,
Florachem Corp., Nissan Chemical America Corp., Novepha Co. Ltd., Harima
Chemicals and Oleon N.V.
