According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Palm-based Oleochemicals market size was valued at US$ 10989 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 13638 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 3.1% during review period.
Palm-based oleochemicals refer to various fatty acids and their derivatives, such as fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and glycerol, extracted from palm oil and palm kernel oil through chemical processing. They are widely used in personal care, food (cocoa butter substitutes, shortening), and industrial fields (surfactants, biofuels), and are important basic chemical raw materials.The palm-based oleochemicals industry chain is centered on natural and renewable palm oil and palm kernel oil. Through primary decomposition and fine chemical synthesis processes, these natural oils are transformed into basic oleochemicals and derivative oleochemicals.
In 2025, global sales are projected to be approximately 12 million tons, with an average market price of around $890 per ton. The industry's gross profit margin is estimated to be between 10% and 20%.
Palm-based oleochemicals are derived from natural and renewable resources, making palm oil an ideal substitute for traditional petrochemical products. With consumers' growing preference for clean labels and green products, and government policies promoting increased biodiesel blending rates, palm-based oleochemicals are gaining increasing market share in the surfactants, lubricants, and biofuels markets. Furthermore, their superior functional properties (such as high-purity fatty alcohols used in high-end personal care products) also enhance their competitiveness.
