Product Definition:
Fatty Methyl Ester Sulphonate (FMES) is a type of detergent that is used in the textile industry. It helps to remove dirt and oil from fabrics, making them easier to clean. FMES also helps to reduce static electricity, which can cause clothes to cling together.
Esterification:
Esterification is a chemical reaction in which ester and acid are formed. The most common way of esterification is by using anhydrous (unreactive) alcohol with fatty acids. Esterification process involves the use of catalyst, high pressure, temperature & elevated temperature for industrial applications.
Fatty methyl esters (FMEs) are used as fuel additives primarily due to their ability to reduce soot and emissions from diesel engines.
Sulphonation:
Sulphonation is a chemical reaction between sulfuric acid and fatty alcohol. The most commonly used raw materials for the process are glycerol, oleates, and medium-chain triglycerides. FMES is produced by this method with the aim of using it in detergents, soaps, lubricants additives or as an intermediate for drugs production.
The global FMES market size was valued at USD 853 million in 2016.
Application Insights:
The household detergent segment led the global market and accounted for more than 45% of the total revenue in 2017. The growth is attributed to rising purchasing power, rapid urbanization, and increasing disposable income among the middle-class population across developing countries including China, India, Brazil etc. Personal care products are expected to be one of the fastest growing segments over the forecast period owing to rising consumer awareness regarding personal hygiene and cleanliness. Rising demand for personal care products including shampoos & soaps is anticipated to boost product consumption over the forecast period.
Increasing use of FMES in manufacturing various personal care products such as hair conditioners/gels/serums; creams; body lotions & oils coupled with growing environmental concerns regarding plastic packaging used for these goods is projected to drive industry growth over next eight years or so.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the leading regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for a major share of global population along with economic development, which has resulted in high demand from household consumers as well as industrial end users. Increasing disposable income levels coupled with growing awareness regarding personal hygiene and cleanliness have resulted in increased product consumption across this region.
North America emerged as the second-largest consumer of the product owing to increasing demand from various application segments including personal care, textile, and pharmaceuticals industries over past few years. Growing environmental concerns among consumers have led them to prefer biodegradable products that are also free from harmful effects on human health & environment caused by chemical additives used during manufacturing process or end-use products themselves thus driving industry growth through organic FMES based alternatives market expansion opportunities for key manufacturers present across this region.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for FMES in personal care products
- Rising demand from the automotive industry
- Growing use of FMES in agricultural applications
- Increasing application of FMES in food and beverage processing industries
- Rising popularity of environmentally friendly products
