Wax Market by Types (Natural Wax, Synthetic Wax, and Petroleum & Mineral Wax), Applications (Candle Making, Packaging, Cosmetics, Rubber, Adhesives, and Others), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2021 – 2028
The global wax market size is anticipated to register a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing industrial wax applications.
Wax is made from oil or fat that melts easily and can be used for manufacturing polish and candles. Wax is a lipid, which is an ester of long-chain of fatty acid and alcohol. Natural wax contains unsaturated bonds and various functional groups such as primary and secondary alcohols, fatty acids, aldehydes, ketones, and fatty acid esters. It is synthesized by many animals and plants. Plant origin is mixture of unesterified hydrocarbons, which dominate over esters. Animal origin consists of ester made from various carboxylic alcohols and fatty acids. The composition depends on geographic location of organisms and species.
The outbreak of COVID-19 led to the deployment of stringent lockdown, which in turn, decreased production of chemical, cosmetics, rubbers, candles, packaging, and adhesives. This led to negative impact on the market. However, the relaxations in restrictions is expected to fuel the market growth.
