SUMMARY
Volatility in Raw Material Prices Leads to Uncertainty in Revenues
Price pressures and falling profit margins are a significant issue in the
world fatty acids market. The volatile raw material prices that comprise 80
percent of fatty acid costs are magnifying the challenge and making it
increasingly difficult for manufacturers to maintain profit margins in this
market. Moreover, shifting consumer preference for vegetable oil-based
products makes the fatty acids industry more susceptible to harvest issues.
While tallow and tall oil are less susceptible to harvest issues,
manufacturers of fatty acids will have to constantly track palm oil prices
that are depicting greater fluctuations. Severe competition, overcapacity, and
the emergence of new fatty acid manufacturing facilities in China and
Southeast Asia add to the price pressures. Offering competitive prices is
likely to be a key strategy to survive in this highly competitive and price
sensitive market.
This Frost & Sullivan research service offers a comprehensive analysis of the
global fatty acids market, and focuses on the naturally-derived fatty acids.
In addition to detailed insights into market drivers and industry challenges,
this study provides strategic growth recommendations to vendors.
China to Open up New Growth Opportunities
"Saturation within the fatty acids market is restricting growth in developed
countries and compelling fatty acids manufacturers to sustain revenues by
focusing on new and upcoming markets in developing countries such as China,"
notes the analyst of this research. Economic growth in China and the resultant
rise in living standards have boosted demand for end user products, thereby
driving the growth of fatty acids market.
Many participants have taken strategic steps to move closer to their Chinese
customers and are investing in new manufacturing facilities in China to
increase market share. Another strategy adopted by many participants is to
manufacture in Southeast Asia and then export to China. Participants need to
make a thorough analysis of production costs and accordingly choose the best
strategy.
Southeast Asia Hugely Influences the Global Fatty Acids Market
Availability of raw materials and sophisticated infrastructure is turning
Southeast Asia into a manufacturing hub for fatty acids industry. Local
participants in Malaysia and Indonesia are enhancing their manufacturing
capacities in response to the rising export demands. Many plantation companies
in this region are also increasing investment in downstream activities.
"Facilities in developed countries are old and running costs are high," notes
the analyst. "As a result, many companies from these countries are shifting
their operations to Southeast Asia to take advantage of easy access to raw
materials and relatively low operational costs." Strategic alliances between
companies in developed countries and their counterparts in Southeast Asia are
also on the rise and promise numerous growth opportunities for the world fatty
acids market in the future.
