Global Lauric Acid Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Lauric Acid market size is predicted to grow from US$ 666 million in 2025 to US$ 772 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.5% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Lauric acid, also properly known as dodecanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid commonly found in coconut and palm oils, as well as in milk. Appearing as a white, powdery substance, its main use in manufacturing is as an ingredient in soaps and shampoos. Infants consume it during breastfeeding, and children, teens and adults ingest it by eating the fruits and oils that contain it. Research suggests it can have multiple health benefits because of its antimicrobial properties, but more studies are necessary to confirm initial results.
The lauric acid market is an important segment within the broader fatty acids and oleochemicals industry, primarily driven by its extensive use in personal care, household cleaning, and food applications. Extracted mainly from coconut oil and palm kernel oil, lauric acid is valued for its antimicrobial properties and surfactant qualities, making it a key ingredient in soaps, shampoos, and detergents. In the food sector, it is used as an emulsifier and preservative, particularly in confectionery and baked goods. Its natural origin and functional versatility continue to support strong demand across both industrial and consumer-facing markets.
Sustainability concerns and evolving consumer preferences are influencing the growth and direction of the lauric acid market. With increasing emphasis on natural and biodegradable ingredients, manufacturers are focusing on ethically sourced raw materials and environmentally friendly production processes. Additionally, regulatory shifts and certification requirements related to palm oil production are affecting sourcing strategies and pricing dynamics. As the demand for green and clean-label products rises globally, the lauric acid market is positioned to grow, albeit with a greater focus on supply chain transparency and sustainability practices.
