Soy-Based Chemicals Market Trends

Growth Drivers

Increase In The Demand For Renewable Chemical And Fuel Source

There is considerable potential to increase energy supplies in populated countries. Liquid biofuels, a viable renewable alternative to gasoline, are used primarily in the transportation sector. The growing demand for sustainable energy sources has led to an increase in the consumption of biodiesel, mainly from raw materials such as soybeans, animal fats, and recycled edible oils, around the globe. Biodiesel emits lower levels of particles and carbon monoxide than conventional petroleum biodiesel. In the U.S. according to the Department of Energy, the use of biodiesel allows for a reduction of about 78% in CO2 emissions, thus boosting demand for the soy chemicals.

Increase In Demand For Eco-Friendly Products

 The soy chemicals market demand for bio and environmentally friendly products is increasing, among the consumers and especially in the chemicals sector worldwide. The market for soybean chemicals offers tremendous opportunities in the consumer and industrial sectors such as fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides, and lubricants, as well as other sectors. The growing demand for environmentally friendly chemicals can also be observed in industries such as consumer packaging, cosmetics (perfumes and deodorants), detergents, and food ingredients. Besides, consumer demand for environmentally friendly chemicals such as industrial polymers, eco-pesticides, eco-insecticides, plastics, pharmaceutical ingredients, bio-fertilizers, and lubricants stimulates the market growth of global soy chemicals market.

Challenges

Availability of Substitutes

Presence of substitutes such as natural bio mass and bio gas, which are used as an alternative for soy based chemicals are some of the factors anticipated to limit the growth of the global soy chemicals market.
