Global Myristic Acid Category - Procurement Market Intelligence Report
About Myristic Acid Market
Myristic acid (C₁₄H₂₈O₂), also known as tetradecanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid that occurs naturally in the form of glycerides in animal and vegetable fats and is also found in nutmeg oil. It is an oily, white crystalline compound, which is insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol and ether. Its salts and esters are primarily referred to as myristates. Moreover, this fatty acid is predominantly used in the manufacturing of cosmetics, soaps, food additives, and perfumes.
High growth in industries such as processed foods, personal care, and cosmetic products, and as adhesives and sealants where myristic acid is used as a raw material is likely to drive the growth of the global myristic acid market during the forecast period. Further, APAC has the largest market both in terms of production and consumption, owing to increased demand from processed food and pharmaceutical industries.
