Global Thickener Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Microcrystalline Wax market size is predicted to grow from US$ 847 million in 2025 to US$ 1161 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% 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.
Microcrystalline wax, any petroleum-derived plastic material that differs from paraffin waxes in having much finer and less-distinct crystals and higher melting point and viscosity. Microcrystalline waxes may be made from the residue of crude petroleum by refining; or they may be made from petroleum jelly by removing the oil with a solvent. Their physical properties may be controlled by the temperature of the solvents. Methods of separation include solvent dilution, chilling, centrifuging, filtering, and various combinations of these.
Global Microcrystalline Wax main manufactuers include Sasol, Sonneborn, The International Group (IGI) and Sinopec Nanyang Energy Chemical, totally accounting for 20% of the market. Asia Pacific is the largest market, with a share about 30%. As for the types of products, it can be divided into laminating grade, coating grade, hardening grade and others. The most common type is laminating grad, with a share over 58%. As for the types of application, it is widely used in packaging, tire and rubber, cosmetics and personal care, adhesives and others. The most common application is packing, with a share over 32%.
Companies are focusing on technological innovation, equipment upgrades, and process improvements, to reduce costs and improve quality. The total competition market for Microcrystalline Wax will become more intense, while the market is going to be more concentrated for high end Microcrystalline Wax.
