Global Esters Market Growth
The global demand for esters is being primarily driven by the shift towards electric vehicles and the growing focus on sustainability. In 2022, the annual EV production surpassed 10 million cars, which was a sizeable growth from 6.7 million in 2021. The topmost EV producers substantially increased their EV production in 2022, such as BYD (211%), Geely Auto Group (251%), Cherry Auto Co. (136%), Changan Auto Co. (134%), and GAC Group (130%). Other major companies also increased their EV production y-o-y, such as Tesla (40%), Hyundai Motors (43%), BMW Group (32%), and Stellantis (34%).
Over the forecast period, an increasing consumer shift towards sustainable mobility solutions is expected to surge electric vehicle production, thereby necessitating the application of ethers for manufacturing battery coolants, immersion cooling systems, and transmission fluids. This is expected to fuel the ester market expansion. Ethers have excellent dielectric properties and resist varnish formation and oxidation, which ensures the cleanliness of EV systems. They are relatively less toxic, apart from being biodegradable, which makes them the ideal fuel choice for automotive companies seeking to reduce their environmental footprint.
Key Trends and Developments
Rising production of cosmetics; growing application of esters as flavouring agents; technological advancements; and increasing demand for sustainable lubricants are the factors favouring the ester market growth
November 2024
To meet the increasing demand for sustainable lubricant products, Peter Greven expanded its ester production capabilities in the United States.
February 2023
Cargill, a leading global agricultural and bio-industrial company, launched a transformer insulating fluid made from rapeseed oil known as FR3r natural ester. This is expected to raise the ester market revenue.
August 2022
Hallstar Innovations Corp., a leading manufacturer of speciality chemicals that meet the demand in the beauty and industrial markets, announced its decision to acquire LANXESS's ester manufacturing facility present in Greensboro, North Carolina (United States).
October 2020
BASF announced its decision to double the production capacity for synthetic ester base stocks in Jinshan, China, intending to cater to the increasing demand for sustainable lubrication solutions in the Asia Pacific region.
Rising production of cosmetics
With the shift towards natural beauty products, the incorporation of esters into personal care products to improve their texture and stability is expected to contribute to the esters market expansion over the forecast period.
Growing applications of esters as flavouring agents
Esters are extensively used as flavouring agents and emulsifiers in packaged food products, which enhances their shelf life.
Technological advancements
Rapid technological improvements in ester production technology are expected to surge the esters market value over the forecast period.
Increasing demand for sustainable lubricants
Rising environmental awareness among consumers and the implementation of stringent regulations are accelerating the demand for low-toxicity and biodegradable lubricants. This is expected to increase the demand for esters over the forecast period.
Global Esters Market Trends
As the global demand for sustainable insulating fluids increases among commercial building owners and transformer manufacturers, the demand for natural esters is expected to increase the ester market value over the forecast period. The introduction of FR3r by Cargill can play a major role in enabling the power industry to shift towards sustainable industrial solutions for managing electricity transmission. FR3r contains zero halogens, sulphurs, petroleum, and silicones. It enhances the insulation life of transformers by nearly 8 times by providing superior moisture management and requires zero maintenance under normal conditions. This is expected to enhance the ester market development over the forecast period, especially since ester is a non-toxic and eco-friendly alternative to existing options.
