The global fatty alcohol market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.19% over the forecast period to reach a total market size of US$8.261 billion by 2025, increasing from US$6.098 billion in 2019. Fatty alcohols are the straight-chain primary alcohols derived from natural fats and oils. They are widely used in a wide range of applications ranging from personal care to lubricants. The growing demand for fatty acid in surfactant-based industries is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. Surfactants based industries such as soaps and detergents, textiles, and personal care use fatty alcohol as it acts as detergents and cleaning agents. In the textile industry, it is used for the preparation and treatment of textiles such as silk and wool. Surfactants also facilitate the use of very fine-grained dye pigments which makes more economic use of textile colorants and simultaneously reducing residual amounts, thus lowering the impact on the environment. Expanding the textile industry in developing countries like India and China coupled with favorable government policies is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. For instance, the Government of India, inaugurated the Integrated Wool Development Program (IWDP) to provide support to the wool sector to enhance the quality and increase the production. Also, there have been growing concerns regarding the effect of petrochemicals on the environment, and companies today are aiming to reduce their dependence on petrochemicals and to decrease carbon footprint, by making efforts towards the development of biodegradable products and base chemicals through bio-based raw materials.
The personal care industry is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period
In addition, consumers today prefer mildly conserved and user-friendly cosmetic products that are environmentally friendly which is driving the demand for bio-based sustainable chemicals. The growth in the adoption of cosmetic products is mainly attributed to the increasing interest of cosmetics among many young women worldwide.

Additionally, several independent brands are coming up and every new brand has a new idea of remaining or becoming beautiful, hence, contributing to the growth of the cosmetic industry, fueling the market growth.

Cosmetic solutions such as an instant fix for age-old people who desire for quick improvements in their skin are quite popular. Furthermore, the development and growth of cosmetics, personal care, and other retail businesses are causally related to economic growth and speed of urbanization which is projected to propel the market growth opportunities over the forecast period. According to the UN statistics, there is a growth in the urban population of the world increased from around 751 million to around 4.2 billion from 1950 to 2018.
