세계의 지방산 메틸 에스테르 시장 : 예측(2025-2030년)

The fatty acid methyl ester market is estimated to grow from US$24.572 Billion in 2025 to US$31.999 Billion in 2030 at 5.42% CAGR.

Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) are a class of fatty acid ester resulting from the transesterification of fats by methanol. The compounds in biodiesel are mainly FAME, obtained by transesterification of vegetable oils. They are employed in the manufacture of detergents and biodiesel. FAME is generally formed by an alkaline-catalyzed reaction between fats and methanol in the presence of a base like sodium hydroxide, sodium methoxide, or potassium hydroxide.

The surging demand for biodiesel, a cleaner and renewable alternative to traditional diesel fuel, drives the FAME market. Growing environmental concerns, alongside government policies promoting renewable fuels, are major factors. FAMEs are used in various applications, including lubricants, chemicals, food, and personal care products. Further improvement in production processes and catalysts through technological advancements is further improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of FAME production. The growing interest in circular economy principles, which focus on using waste materials as feedstocks, is also contributing to market growth.

Fatty acid methyl ester market drivers:

• Increasing Demand for Biodiesel

The main driver behind the FAME market is the escalating demand for biodiesel. Rising environmental concerns and governments' awareness of the need for more sustainable energy solutions make biodiesel a cleaner alternative to traditional diesel fuel. FAMEs, the main component of biodiesel, are a renewable and biodegradable fuel source that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves air quality. Other mandates, targets, and government incentives further increase demand for biodiesel and, indirectly, FAMEs.

In this regard, in April 2023, India achieved its present ethanol blending target of E-12. India also remains on course to achieve a 5 percent biodiesel blend for on-road use by 2030. FAS further projects Indian biodiesel production at 226 million liters because of government schemes at a 1 percent blend rate.

Biodiesel is created via transesterification between vegetable oils, animal fats, and alcohol, such as methanol or ethanol. Biodiesel presents several advantages when used as an alternative to standard diesel. It reduces the emission of greenhouse gases; also, its use improves the quality of the air. It can be produced using diverse renewable feedstocks. Biodiesel can also be used with slight modifications in an existing diesel engine, thus being an easy-to-implement, practical solution. With global momentum building toward sustainable energy, demand for biodiesel and, thus, FAMEs will likely rise.

The fatty acid methyl ester market is segmented into five regions worldwide:

Geography-wise, the fatty acid methyl esters market is divided into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. The Asia Pacific region is one of the biggest drivers for the FAME market. Strong support from the government in terms of policies such as blending mandates and subsidies is a big catalyst. The growing environmental awareness in the region and the availability of feedstocks, such as palm oil, soybean oil, and waste cooking oil, also help fuel the market. Increasing end-use industries such as lubricants, surfactants, and cosmetics are creating additional demand for FAMEs. In line with this, the global cosmetics industry is growing at a 4.3% CAGR and is projected to reach US$ 450 billion by 2025. Overall, these characteristics foster significant development and opportunities in the regional market. Furthermore, as urbanization and industrialization accelerate, the demand for cleaner energy sources like biodiesel, derived from FAMEs, is growing.

The drivers for the North American fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) market are the rising demand for biodiesel and government mandates and incentives promoting the consumption of renewable fuels. In the US, for instance, such a mandate is provided by the Renewable Fuel Standard.

Additionally, the increase in demand for reducing greenhouse gases and improving air quality has fueled the biodiesel market's growth. According to the U.S. Renewable Diesel Fuel and Other Biofuels Plant Production Capacity report, as of January 1, 2023, there were 17 operational renewable diesel production facilities across 12 states in the United States, with a combined production capacity of approximately 3 billion gallons per year. Two of these facilities are former petroleum refineries repurposed for processing biofuels. In 2022, U.S. renewable diesel production was about 1.5 billion gallons, and consumption was about 1.7 billion gallons, which included about 0.3 billion gallons of imports. California uses most U.S. renewable diesel fuel imports.

Apart from this, the expansion of the use of FAME in industrial applications such as lubricants, surfactants, chemicals, etc, is also promoting growth.
