Insights into the Wax Global Industry to 2027 - by Product, Application, Region, and Segment Forecasts - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Wax Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Product (Synthetic, Mineral), by Application (Candles, Cosmetics & Toiletries), by Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific), and Segment Forecasts, 2020 - 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global wax market size is expected to reach USD 12.4 billion by 2027 registering a CAGR of 2.8%.

The market growth can be attributed to rapid expansion of application areas, such as cosmetics & toiletries, paints & coatings, and candle manufacturing. High demand for wax as a performance additive in plastics industry on account of its rising utilization as a water- and solvent-based mold release agent for polyurethane foam processing applications will boost the growth.

Moreover, its ability to function as a release agent and lubricant for engineering resins is expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. The market is driven by significantly growing demand for synthetic products worldwide. Two major subdivisions of synthetic wax include fully synthetic and partially synthetic. These are increasingly being used in cosmetics and personal care sectors, such as hair care, skin care, makeup, and other allied products. They are also used in hot melt adhesives, printing ink formulations, and coating solutions among others.

In terms of volume, mineral wax product segment accounted for the maximum share in 2019 and is anticipated to continue its dominance over the forecast years. Synthetic wax product segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR from 2020 to 2027 due to the high demand for coatings, hot melt adhesives, paperboard, candles, printing inks, laminating, PVC lubricants, and polish formulations. Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness substantial growth owing to the rising living standards and rapid industrialization, especially in China and India.
