Guerbet alcohols are highly branched alcohols that have lower melting points than linear alcohols which makes them ideal for personal care, plastic molds, processing of paper, and metal lubrication application. Due to its low volatility, it is widely used for the production of liquid and lubricant derivatives. Moreover, it is also used as fattening agents and emulsion stabilizer across various end-user industries. This alcohol has excellent solvent properties for active ingredient composed of different chemicals. Furthermore, the cosmetic industry it is used to prepare antiperspirants, deodorants, and hair removal formulations.

The global guerbet alcohol market is projected to reach US$ 1500 million by the end of 2027, in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period (2019 to 2027).

Rising demand for guerbet alcohols thanks to its multifunctional cosmetics products like cleansing, anti-aging, anti-oxidant, moisturizing and UV protection is predicted to propel the market growth of guerbet alcohols. Moreover, guerbet alcohols even have an excellent fattening agent, perfuming agent, emulsion stabilizer, viscosity increasing agent, and binder property which is further anticipated to boost its demand from the cosmetic industry.

The high cost of guerbet alcohols due to comprehensive conversion during the dimerization process of alcohol is projected to hinder the market growth of guerbet alcohols. The production process of high purity guerbet alcohols is a multi-step process which includes oxidation of alcohol to aldehyde followed by aldol condensation, addition, and subsequent dehydration and which are then hydrogenated to saturate alcohol.

Side-effects associated with the cosmetic product that incorporates 2-octyldodecanol as few tests have shown skin irritation is expected to hinder the market growth. Moreover, studies have also shown that application of 2-octyldodecanol based cosmetic products have led to irritation in the eyes. Aforementioned factors are expected to restrict the market growth of guerbet alcohols over the forecast period.
