Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
Lauryl myristyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol commonly derived from natural oils. It has various applications, including use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, as a surfactant, emulsifier, and in industrial processes. It is valued for its emollient properties and ability to mix substances that don't naturally combine, such as oil and water. Growing per capita expenditure on cosmetic items and personal care, as well as rising demand for Lauryl myristyl alcohol from the paint and coatings and oil and gas industries, will likely fuel market expansion during the forecast period. The growing chemical and manufacturing sectors drive the global lauryl myristyl market alcohol. The broad range of applications in numerous industries drives up demand for lauryl myristyl alcohol. Consumers are utilizing more personal care items, which leads to a rise in the use of lauryl myristyl alcohol in cosmetics.
However, the Russia-Ukraine war and the post-COVID-19 pandemic may substantially impact the market for Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol. The current conflict between Russia & Ukraine may impair Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol manufacturing and supply lines, limiting the market growth.
The Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol Market is segmented based on application, source, and type. According to application, the market is segmented as industrial & domestic cleaning, personal care, lubricants, food & nutrition, plasticizers, pharmaceutical formulation, and others. The source segment includes petrochemical and natural. The market is segmented by type into long-chain, higher-chain, short-chain, and mid-cut chain.
The personal care category will majorly share in the global Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol Market in 2022. This expansion can be due to increased demand for personal care goods. Furthermore, the ability of personal care to operate as an emulsion stabilizer and viscosity-increasing agent, allowing items to be spreadable and creamy, has increased its use in personal care and cosmetic goods such as lipstick, sunscreen, and moisturizer, among others. Furthermore, the industrial and home cleaning segment is likely to direct the market owing to the rising preference for natural oils over chemicals.
The natural segment is projected to grow rapidly in the global Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol Market. This expansion can be linked to rising client demand for bio-based products. Natural sources of lauryl myristyl alcohol are environmentally friendly because they are sourced from plant-based sources such as coconut and palm oil. Palm and coconut oils. Fatty alcohols are also found naturally in animal and vegetable sources. Because of their great variety in lauryl chains, vegetable oils serve as traditional sources of fatty alcohol and are more prevalent in some applications than animal sources. As a result, these carbon chains are extremely beneficial in cleaning detergents. Furthermore, the petrochemical segment is expected to dominate the market due to rising customer demand for ecologically friendly and sustainable goods.
The North American lauryl Myristyl Alcohol Market is expected to record the maximum market share in revenue shortly. Owing to the increasing requirement in the food and cosmetic industries, North America dominates the lauryl myristyl alcohol market. Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of online retailing firms for chemicals and materials, particularly in emerging markets, is aiding expansion throughout the projection period.
However, the growing demand for lauryl myristyl alcohol in North America is due to its popularity in the cosmetics sector and its capacity to give various benefits, including increased foam stability, emollience, and viscosity control. Due to the rapid adoption of low-foaling detergents and cleaners, Asia Pacific is predicted to expand the fastest during the projection period. Furthermore, a tremendous increase in industrial production and chemical synthesis, particularly in China and the Indian subcontinental countries, is occurring.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
