Global Metallic Stearates Market by Product (Zinc, Aluminum, Calcium), by Application (Cosmetics, Pharmaceutical, Plastics, Rubber) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028
Industry Insights
Global market for metallic stearates was valued at USD 3.9 billion in 2020. It is projected to grow at 4.1% CAGR between 2020 and 2028. Market growth is expected to be driven by the growing plastics and rubber industries, as well as increasing demand for cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. There are many products that can be used as metallic stearates. These include aluminum, zinc and calcium stearate. They are used in a wide variety of applications such as plastics and rubber, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Market growth is expected to be driven by the rapid expansion of the plastics sector and growing demand for products that can refine the surface textures of plastic goods. The demand for metallic steel is likely to rise due to increased use of mold release agents in the rubber industry.
Manufacturers focus on R&D and the development of advanced production technologies. The most common method of producing metallic stearates is double decomposition or precipitation. The rate of precipitation determines the particle size, surface area and particle morphology. This method produces fine metallic stearate particles with high surface areas. These stearates can be used as lubricants or release agents. Direct reaction is the reaction of stearic acid with metal oxide at high temperatures. To monitor the properties of metallic stearates' surfaces, a variety of technologies are available, including X-ray diffraction and SEM microscopy.
The plastics industry has a lot of use for metallic stearates. They are used in the plastics industry as acid scavengers and mold release agents. They improve the surface texture of plastic articles by improving their texture. They also reduce friction and can be used in plastic industry melt processing. They are used in major plastics like Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene(PP), Polystyrene [PS], Polyamide (PA), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Sterene (ABS), Polyvinyl Chloride (“PVCâ€), and Polypropylene†(PP).
Over the last few years, global plastics production has increased rapidly. China was the world's largest plastics producer, followed by Europe (North American Free Trade Agreement) and North America. The largest producer of plastics in Europe was Germany. Other important plastics-producing nations in Europe are Turkey, France, Poland and Italy.
The NAFTA region was led by the U.S. The top exporters of plastics and plastic-based products were China, Germany and the U.S. The U.S., Mexico and France are the top plastics importers in terms of volume.
Product Insights
The global metallic stearate industry was led by zinc in 2020. It is insoluble with polar solvents like alcohol and ether, but it is soluble in chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons. Zinc stearate is the most powerful mold release agent because it does not contain any electrolytes and has a hydrophobic property. They are used in the rubber and plastic industries as lubricants and release agents.
Calcium stearate, a white waxy powder, is classified as a calcium soap. It is insoluble with most solvents. However, it will dissolve slightly when heated in chlorinated carbons, aromatic compounds, mineral and vegetable oils, and waxes. Calcium stearate is used primarily in the plastics industry as a mold release agent and lubricant. It is used in the construction industry as a hydrophobic ingredient to preserve building materials and prevent moisture absorption. It is used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries as an anti-caking ingredient for powders and granules.
Aluminum stearates can be used in the manufacture of aluminum greases. These greases are hydrophobic and have good adhesion to metallic surfaces. Aluminum stearates are excellent water repellents. They are used as water repellent ingredients in paints, coatings, and other building materials. Aluminum mono-, tri-, and di-stearates can be insoluble in water, esters and lower alcohols. They also react with ketones. Peter Greven GmbH & Co. are major players. KG., Baerlocher GmbH. and Valtris Specialty Chemicals. are major players in aluminum stearates manufacturing for the building and construction industry and cosmetics industry.
Application Insights
In 2020, the plastics segment was the most profitable in terms both of revenue and volume. The plastics industry uses metallic stearates mainly for lubricants, acid-scavengers and release agents. It is also essential in the melting process. The producers can optimize production by using it to produce articles with smoother surfaces.
Rubber was the second most popular application. Metal stearates have rubber-release agents that are ideal for their properties. The product is used in several processes, including transfer molding, compression molding and extrusions. Major market players, including Bridgestone and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, use rubber tires made with metallic stearates.
Metallic stearates are used in cosmetics and personal care products mainly for the formulation of eyeliner, mascara, lipsticks, lip gloss, eyeliner and blushers. They can also be used in hair and skin products, deodorants, fragrances, as well as hair and skincare products. The product can also be used in sun-protective lotions and medicated ointments as well as foot and body powders.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific was the largest region market, with a 41.2% revenue share in 2020. The product has been in high demand due to the robust economic growth in India and China over the past few years. The product demand for paints, coatings, rubber and plastics has increased due to the increase in construction activity and automobile production.
North America was the second largest regional market. The high demand from the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries has driven the demand for products from Canada and the U.S. In the coming years, there will be a rise in R&D in the area of metallic stearates to develop efficient products for commercial use.
