Global 1-Decene Market by Application (Poly Alpha Olefin (Poly Alpha Olefin PAO) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028
"Increasing PAO Demand in Synthetic Lubricant is Expected to Drive Market Growth"
In 2015, the global 1-decene market was worth USD 850 millions. The industry will see a rise in demand for synthetic lubricants due to increased capacity expansions by key industry participants and a focus on alpha olefins made from bio-based materials. Poly alpha olefins have seen a rise in demand due to their superior lubrication and less engine wear. The oligomerization and synthesis of linear alpha-olefins produces polyalphaolefin. C-10 is the preferred HTML3_ alpha oil for PAO production. The key driver of the 1-decene market is expected to be increasing PAO demand for engine/gear oils, greases and other lubricants.
U.S. 1-decene Market Revenue by Application, 2014-2025 (USD Million).
The boom in, especially in China and the U.S., has given new hope to petrochemical manufacturers and has driven ethylene production which is an essential raw material needed for 1-decene. These regions are expected to have a positive impact on product demand.
1-Decene can be obtained by oligomerization ethylene. It cannot be obtained through any other production process, such as 1-hexene and 1-octene. This has resulted in a limited supply of C-10 for PAO production.
The market is short-supplied with PAO, leaving synthetic lubricant producers no other choice than to search for alternative raw materials. Ester-based synthetic oils have been growing in popularity and will likely impact 1-decene's market growth during the forecast period.
Global industry has always been sensitive to economic conditions and supply demand. The 1-decene market prices are usually based on the cost plus pricing method. Raw material prices play an important role in this process. Ethylene prices fluctuated in the past. The same trend can also be seen for alpha olefins prices.
"Polyalpha olefin was the most popular application segment in 2015"
The poly alpha olefin segment will gain popularity over the forecast period. The market has been driven by increasing demand for PAO in synthetic lubricant production. This trend is expected to continue for the forecast period. PAO will be the fastest-growing and largest application segment.
Detergent alcohols, and their derivatives, are the key raw materials for making surfactants for laundry and dishwashing. This segment is expected to grow at a higher rate than average over the forecast period.
"Asia Pacific will witness the highest rate of growth over the forecast period"
Due to the increasing production of synthetic lubricants and PAO, the Asia Pacific region will be the fastest growing region during the forecast period. The availability of raw materials is another factor that has contributed to regional growth. The demand for polyethylene is expected to rise further in emerging countries like India and China. Over the period 2016-2025, the region is expected to grow at 6.2% CAGR.
Europe was the biggest consumer of 1-decene. It is expected to continue its dominance in the future. The high demand for PAO in the region for synthetic lubricant production can explain the higher demand. North America is closely followed by Europe. Due to its largest oil production country, the United States has contributed significantly to the region's higher penetration.
ExxonMobil Corp. and Shell Chemicals have fueled 1-decene market demand in North America.
"Capacity expansion by key companies for full range alpha-olefin production"
Shell Chemicals and Chevron Phillips are major players in alpha olefin production. Few multinational companies have their own patented technology and the 1-decene market is concentrated in these few players. Shell Chemicals holds 75% of this market, with three other companies being the dominant players.
Major industry players have demonstrated a high degree of integration in the market. Shell Chemicals and Chevron Phillips are just a few of the key players that have successfully integrated their operations throughout the value chain, from production and delivery of raw materials to final-use products.
