Global Microcrystalline Wax Market Research Report
- Report Code: CH 1627
- Publish Date: Upcoming
Microcrystalline waxes are a type of wax produced by de-oiling petrolatum, as part of the petroleum refining process. It is generally darker, more viscous, denser, tackier and more elastic than paraffin waxes, and has a higher molecular weight and melting point. Microcrystalline Wax is used in various industries such as the tire and rubber, candles, custom making of jewelry and small sculptures, adhesives, corrugated board, cosmetics, castings, and a host of others. Microcrystalline Wax is also a key component in the production of petrolatum. They are also used as slip agents in printing ink.
The candle manufacturing consumes most of the crystalline wax produced in world in terms of volume in 2013, and is expected to show the highest growth rate in the forecast period. One of the driving factors of growing crystalline wax market is due to the increasing use of decorative, luxury, and scented candles.
In addition, a major portion of crystalline wax is also used in packaging and cosmetics segments. These segments are also witnessing rapid growth in the forecast period. Moreover, cosmetic industry has also displayed various innovations and development, which is again going to escalate the demand of crystalline wax, as wax is a crucial ingredient in several cosmetic formulations. Additionally, it is a preferred key ingredient, due to its properties which help to keep skin moisturized and hydrated.
High demand from end user segment such as rubber industry, tyre industry, petroleum jelly, PVC extrusion, hot-melt adhesives, cosmetics, textile finishing, polishes, and calibration of glassware extended the consumption of microcrystalline wax.
Asia-Pacific region shows the highest demand in the forecast period, due to the growing demand from the end user segment such as candles, adhesives, packaging, and cosmetics. Some of the biggest players of the market are concentrated in the Asia-pacific region such as Hebei Feitian Petrochemical Group, MichelMan, Exxon Mobil Corporation, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), The International Group Inc., Sinopec Limited, and Royal Dutch Shell.
North America is the second largest for the Microcrystalline Wax market, followed by Europe.
