The global palm methyl ester market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027). The high demand for environmentally friendly products owing to the growing concern regarding the use of non-renewable fuel consumption is the prominent factor that has supered the market growth. The palm methyl ester is a component used to convert the high viscosity of palm oil in the presence of methanol so that it can be used as an engine oil for automotive vehicles and others. Government support and regulations to promote renewable fuels and environmentally friendly products are also expected to drive global palm methyl ester industry demand over the forecast period. The palm methyl ester is also used in industrial, food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical areas. The rapid growth in these sectors is likely to create demand for palm methyl ester. 

Moreover, growing investment in R&D activities to develop biodegradable products and increasing demand for methyl derivatives in end-user applications such as home care, personal care, and cosmetic products is expected to further drive the market during the forecast period. Apart from these, the major players operating in the market are shifting their focus towards utilization of palm oil as a bio-based component for the manufacturing of various products, the factor is going to offer lucrative growth opportunities to the market during the forecast period. 

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Palm Methyl Ester Market

The palm methyl ester market has registered a decline in growth due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Disruption in the raw material supply chain due to lockdown imposed by the government led to the decline in market growth. With the increased cases in China which are considered as the major palm oil producer and exporter, the delay in raw material supply has been witnessed. The demand for palm methyl ester from automotive and other end-user verticals was also decreased owing to the halt on manufacturing activities due to govt stringent regulation to shut down all non-essential production facilities globally to curb the further spreading of the virus. 

Segmental Outlook  

The global palm methyl ester market is segmented based on derivatives type and application. Based on derivatives type, the market is sub-segmented into methyl linoleate methyl laurate, methyl palmitate,   methyl caprylate, methyl myristate, methyl oleate, and others. Among these, the methyl oleate segment dominated the palm methyl ester derivatives market by accounting highest share in the market. The high demand for the product in applications such as personal care products, solvents in industrial cleaners, and solvents & defamers in coating and ink production is the factor that boosted the segment growth.  On the basis of application, the market is sub-segmented into agriculture, lubricants, solvents, polymers, fuel, food, and others.
