Selected Value Chain Analysis done in the Oleochemicals Market report
- Value chain analysis is a useful tool to analyze the activities that include design, production, marketing and distribution of a particular product.
- Raw Material Manufacturers: Value chain of oleochemicals initially starts from procuring raw material from various suppliers to produce base grade oleochemicals. These raw materials include vegetable oils and animal fats. Their processing charges add value to the end product.
- Once the basic oleochemicals are manufactured, they undergo variety of chemical reactions to form derivatives. There are many derivative manufacturing companies. Unlike the plantation companies, the level of consolidation is high in basic and derivative manufacturing companies.
- Finally, once the derivatives are manufactured, these are consumed by the end user segments.
- Paints and coatings find their application in a number of industries, due to which even the oleochemicals demand will grow up in the near future.
- Across the world there have been growing developments in the plantations side and eventually, there will be a shift from petrochemicals to oleochemicals.
- Vertical Integration is another reason why there is growth in this industry. Large plantations have started to invest in downstream feedstock processing.
- Oleochemicals based products offer a significant diversification opportunity for chemical companies. Asia is the preferred geography with a growing market and availability of feedstock.
- To capitalize on this opportunity, companies can explore partnerships / mergers with base oleochemicals companies, or think about integrating forward / backward themselves.
- Growing demand from end user segment and availability of raw material together with competitiveness of the industry has resulted in the growing future of the market.
- The growth of cosmetics market in the U.S. will positively affect Oleochemicals Market.
- To a large extent, the growth of biodiesel depends on direct or indirect subsidies for the agriculture and on tax exemptions.
- Chemical companies which explore organic and inorganic growth options in this space could be poised for major growth.
- BASF stood in first position in terms of generating highest revenue, followed by Wilmar International, which was followed by Clariant AG. The highest gross profit company was BASF with $21.16 billion and the company with lowest gross profit of $42.63 million was IOI group.
- BASF has invested high amount of money when compared to other companies in the R&D segment, with investments around $2.1 billion across its business divisions, whereas Clariant and Croda International invested $212.3 million and $38.2 million respectively.
- Wilmar International is one of the key players in Oleochemicals market with 21% of the market share. The company has carried out various major acquisitions during 2005-2010 which contributed to the positive growth of the company. Wilmar manufactures a series of fatty acids, alcohols methyl esters, glycerine and derivatives as well.
- Wilmar is followed by Emery Oleochemicals which holds 18% of the overall market share. Emery’s business is aligned solely into fatty acids, methyl esters, glycerine and alcohols.
- Apart from the above mentioned two key players, KLK oleo (Malaysia), IOI Group (Malaysia) and PT Ecogreen (Indonesia) together accounted for 39% of the total oleochemicals market in 2015.
- The others category contributed 8% consisting of companies such as Sinarmas (Indonesia), PT Medan sugar industry (Indonesia) and few others.
- Since there is an oversupply of oleochemicals, the companies are planning to increase their tilization rates, which is anticipated to grow, due to the growing commodity prices in 2017 and forward
- Plantation companies like Sime Darby Plantation, FGV (Felda global), Genting plantation and IOI Group are the major ones from where base oleochemical manufacturers procure the raw materials.
- Going further, companies can also plan to establish their footprint in new geographies which could provide them a first mover advantage and position them as a strong integrated player.
