Further, the fatty alcohol up to c18 is biodegradable while the surfactants facilitate the adoption of the fine-grained dye pigment thus, reducing the residual amount and making it environment friendly.

Fatty alcohol is one of the key ingredients of the surfactant formulations. Surfactants are widely used in the variety of the personal care products such as shampoo, shower gel, antiperspirant, conditioner and lipstick as thickeners and emollients due to their non-ionic and amphipathic surfactant nature. The fatty alcohol is extracted from bee wax and plant waxes which has been proven to reduce the plasma cholesterol in the humans.

Further the support and initiatives by the government and organizations are positively impacting the market growth of the fatty alcohol. For instance, the government of India have inaugurated Integrated Wool Development Program, IWDP, intending to support the wool sector, by enhancing quality and production. Moreover, rising environmental concerns due to the usage of petrochemicals and substituting them with natural oleochemicals, such as fatty alcohol will further drive the market.

However, the high manufacturing cost due to the fluctuating price of the raw material depending on the trading scenario is expected to hinder the market growth of the fatty alcohol during the forecasted period. Further, the high cost is one of the major restraints to the growth of the fatty alcohol market. The method of extraction includes the recovery of the solvent and reduced alcohol using the method of distillation which employs the consumption of the metallic sodium which directly increases the operational cost of extraction.

The elaborate and specific equipment that is necessary to recover both, solvent and reducing alcohol which increases the cost and technological jargon further restraining the market growth of the fatty alcohol during the forecasted period. The outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic and its subsequent lockdown across the globe affected every industry and distribution channel curbing the growth of the economy.
