Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Hydrogenated Dimer Acid Market size was over USD 1.17 billion in 2024 and is poised to exceed USD 3.26 billion by 2037, growing at over 8.2% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of hydrogenated dimer acid is evaluated at USD 1.33 billion.
Hot melt adhesives are becoming more and more popular, and this is one of the key drivers anticipated to propel the market for hydrogenated dimer acids. An excellent material for the manufacture of polyamide hot melt adhesives is hydrogenated dimer acid.
Hydrogenated dimer acid is being used to synthesize polyamide resins. As reactive polyamide is used as a curing agent for molded resin, marine coating, thermosetting surface coating, adhesives, potting materials & lining, heavy-duty coating, and others. Moreover, non-reactive polyamide is also used for printing inks and producing hot melt adhesives. Thus, the high demand for these products is projected to increase the need for hydrogenated dimer acid in the next few years.
Hydrogenated Dimer Acid Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Rising Demand and Consumption of Paints and Coatings– Future sales opportunities for the hydrogenated dimer acid market are projected to result from the increasing need for lubricants, paints, and coatings globally. To make paints and coatings resistant to changes in the outside environment, manufacturers frequently use hydrogenated dimer acid during production. It was found that nearly 860 million gallons of paint were consumed in the United States in total in 2020 and more than 350 million gallons of architectural paint were devoured by the DIY (do it yourself) segment in the U.S.
- Growing Construction Sector– Hydrogenated dimer acid has various advantages in producing products such as sealants, resins, and others. Thus, the rapid expansion of the construction industry is anticipated to generate sales for hydrogenated dimer acid in the assessment period. It was noticed that the economy in the USA is greatly influenced by the construction sector, the sector employs more than 745,000 people and produces structures valued at close to USD 1.4 trillion annually.
- Increasing Import-Export of Chemical– It was noted that exports of chemicals from the EU outpaced imports by a sizeable margin from USD 242.03 billion in 2010 to USD 411.05 billion in 2020 and over this time, exports grew by 5% a year on average.
Challenges
- Fluctuation in Raw Material Prices - The constant ups and downs in the prices of raw materials of hydrogenated dimer acid can hamper the growth of the market. It might cause significant losses to the producers by affecting the supply chain and decrement in the export/import volume. Hence, this factor is estimated to be one of the major restraints to the market over the forecast period.
- Crude Oil Supply and Requirement Imbalance
- Less Consumer Awareness
