The article discusses how OPEC+ actions and global market trends impact oil pricing.

Key Takeaways

Low temperature flowability and clean operation at elevated temperatures, make esters the preferred base stock in formulating lubricants for aviation, automotive, as well as general manufacturing industries.

Esters have also proven their worth in enhancing the overall mechanical efficiency, driving their largely prominent usage in automotive lubricant applications.

Conventionally, countries in Europe account for a sizeable share in the global esters marketplace. China is also noted to potentially remain a game changer with its large-scale consumption of esters, which is expected to create opportunity worth billions of dollars by the end of the forecast period. This growth can predominantly be attributed to the rising polylactic acid production in the region.

With esters being significantly consumed as solvents in chemicals, food, and textile industries, the market for esters in China is expected to have a robust growth outlook throughout the forecast period.

Increasing demand for greener products is largely prevalent in the chemicals industry. This has influenced the esters marketplace as well, with formulators, downstream manufacturers, as well as governments introducing environmental-friendly measures. Such initiatives are bolstering the demand for bio-based or naturally-sourced products.

Certain ester types such as polyol esters are adapted to formulate lubricants for high-performance applications.

Acrylic esters, also known as acrylates, have a variety of uses, of which a significant volume of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) is consumed as a monomer for the production of Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA). The demand from these uses is noted to be on a rise and is further expected to positively sway growth in terms of consumption as well as revenue generation.

This study sheds light on key market players, which account for a significant share in the market. The esters market study also encompasses a global as well as regional market structure analysis. Some of the market participants identified in the global esters market include Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Cargill, Inc., The Procter & Gamble Company, and Lanxess AG, among others.

Limited Threat of Substitutes in Esters Market

The consumption of esters is chiefly driven by the rising demand from end users. With a minimal number of alternatives available, esters are anticipated to remain irreplaceable in their application areas. Being one of the essential raw materials in the formulation of several products, esters are expected to witness market expansion in tandem with the growth witnessed by its end uses.
