Overview
Higher Olefins Market size is forecast to reach $XX% billion by 2025, after growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during 2020-2025, owning to growing demand from various industries such as personal care and home care, automotive and others. Higher olefins are used primarily as intermediates in the production of other chemicals, such as polymers, fatty acids, plasticizer alcohols, surfactants, lubricants, amine oxides, and detergent alcohols. Increasing urbanization & industrialization rate and growing vehicle ownership along with shift in preference for luxurious lifestyle is driving higher olefins demand.
Key Takeaways
- The demand for Higher Olefins in Asia Pacific region increasing at a faster rate during the forecast period, owning growth in automotive industry. According to OICA, the production of light commercial vehicles has increased by 10.2 % in 2018 in the APAC region.
- In 2017, a new innovative olefin cracking technology “Roto Dynamic Reactor Technology” developed and patented by Coolbrook Oy in collaboration with Neste Jacobs, University of Cambridge’s Whittle laboratory, University of Oxford’s Osney Thermo Fluids laboratory, MANTurbo and Dow Chemicals. This technology improves the olefin production with lesser energy consumption. Therefore, it is supporting market growth.
- However, due to Covid 19 epidemic, the automotive manufacturing plants are being shuttered around the world, and vehicle sales are dropping. This is impacting higher olefins market growth. And it is expected that the outbreak of COVID-19 will be seen in the whole year of 2020, and a few months in 2021.
Application - Segment Analysis
Automotive held the largest share in the higher olefins market in 2019 and is growing at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. Higher olefins are used in formulation of lubricant additives for automotive lubricants and industrial lubricants. Lubricants are used in engine crankcase lubricants, hydraulic fluids, gear oils, engine oil and others. Lubricant additive technology provides many benefits to the environment and the end users. Regular developments in the engine oil specifications for different motor vehicles has been increasing the demand for newer lubricant formulations, consequently increasing the demand for lubricant additives, which is driving higher olefins demand.
Geography - Segment Analysis
Asia Pacific region held the largest share in the global higher olefins market in 2019 up to 36%, owing to economic growth and significant industrialization in the region. In 2018, According to OICA the automotive production in India, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia has increased up to 5174645, 2167694, 1343714 and 564800, i.e., 8.0%, 9.0%, 10.3% and 12.2% higher than previous year due to rising per capita income of the individuals. According to Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), the Indian automotive industry has attracted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) worth US$ 22.35 billion during the period April 2000 to June 2019, which has influenced the growth of the higher olefins market in APAC region. In addition, China is the largest consumer and producer of surfactants in the region, supported by the domestic consumption and presence of large number of local producers in the country. Thus, growth of various end users is expected to boost the consumption of higher olefins, as they are the reactive intermediates that are used to manufacture products used in automotive, surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, agricultural chemicals, and others.
Drivers – Higher Olefins Market
- Growing demand for automotive lubricants.
Lubricants are widely utilized in energy, textile, chemical, construction, automotive and infrastructure sectors for engine oil, hydraulic oil, bearings, and wire rope applications. According to International Trade Administration (ITA), China is the world’s largest vehicle market. The Chinese government is expecting that automobile output will reach 35 million by 2025. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, over 27 million vehicles were sold in 2018. In 2017, according to International Trade Administration (ITA), 1.2 million new passenger cars, SUVs and commercial vehicles were sold in the Australian market, an increase of 0.9% from 2016. According to OICA in 2018, global light commercial vehicles production increased from 19,482,394 to 20, 635,799 i.e., 5.9% from 2017.Therefore, increasing sales of vehicles and rising demand for lightweight as well as heavy-duty vehicles is majorly enhancing the demand for the automotive lubricants, which is influencing higher olefins market growth.
Challenges – Higher Olefins Market
- Fluctuating raw materials prices.
Price and availability of raw materials are major factors that affect the price of the end products. The major challenge for the global higher olefins market is the oscillating price trends of raw materials, which are fluctuating due to volatile energy prices, as olefins comprised of hydrocarbons, especially ethylene and propylene. Made from ethane, propane, naphtha, and gasoline that are composed in natural gas and crude oil. According to BP statistics, in 2018, the average crude oil price increased to $71/ bbl from $54/bbl in 2017. Therefore, the fluctuation in raw materials prices is affecting higher olefins price which is limiting its market growth.
Market Landscape
Technology launches, acquisitions and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the Higher Olefins Market. In 2019, the market of Higher Olefins Market has been consolidated by the top five players accounting for xx% of the share. Major players in the Higher Olefins market are Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Honeywell International Inc, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, and American Chemistry Council, Inc., among others.
Acquisitions/Technology Launches
- In May 2019, ExxonMobil announced to expend Vistamaxx Production in its Baytown, Texas chemical plant, and enter linear alpha olefins market, with an investment of $2 billion.
- In January, 2020, Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited acquired Huntsman's chemical intermediate and surfactants businesses, to significantly widening its US footprint into higher margin integrated oxides and derivatives and specialty chemicals segments.
