The increasing demand for EVs is one of the major trends being witnessed in the global sebacic acid market 2018-2022. The rise in the global sales of EVs negatively affects the sales of bromine and its derivatives. EVs use zinc-bromine batteries due to their cost-effectiveness and display of enhanced performance characteristics. Moreover, their environment-friendly attributes make them preferable over lead-acid batteries. Thus, the increase in the sale of EVs has decreased the use of sebacic acid, as this acid is generally used in IC engines in conventional vehicles as a coolant.

Global sebacic acid market: Increasing demand for sebacic acid in the automotive industry

In automotive, aircraft, and truck engines, sebacic acid is used as a corrosion inhibitor and also as a coolant fluid. Additionally, it is used to produce complex grease and lubricants as well as polyvinyl chloride materials. In the form of sebacate esters, sebacic acid is used as a plasticizer in PVC films to provide low-temperature flexibility and freedom from cracking. In the automotive industry, PVC is used in wide-ranging applications such as manufacturing cable insulation and grommets, dashboards, door panels seating, armrests, and exterior parts, which include body side protection strips, weatherstrips, and windows sealing profiles.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for research on specialty chemicals, “Major automotive manufacturing countries, such as Germany, Italy, the US, India, China, and others have been using sebacic acid as a coolant as well as in the manufacturing of PVC. Therefore, during the forecast period, the increasing automotive vehicle production globally is expected to drive the demand for sebacic acid.”
