The global metallic stearate market size reached US$ 4.3 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 5.8 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% during 2022-2028.
Metallic stearates are compounds of long-chain fatty acids with different metal valences, such as aluminum, calcium, magnesium, and zinc. They are generally available in the form of flakes, pastilles, granules, pellets, and fine powders with high surface area. Due to their lubricating and separating properties, they are primarily used as acid scavengers, lubricants, and release agents in plastic products. They act as suspension agents during the production of waxes and liquid wax compounds. Moreover, their release properties, thixotropic effect, and gelling capacity are beneficial in the pharmaceutical industry for tablet pressing.
The market growth can be attributed to the increasing utilization of metallic stearates in various end use industries. For instance, they are employed in the textile industry as antistatic agents for dry impregnation. They are also used in printing ink works as swelling and suspension aids for additives like pigments. Moreover, metallic stearates are added to personal care products and cosmetics, such as shampoos, eyeliners, lipsticks, sun-protective lotions, medicated ointments, and foot powders, due to their hydrophobic properties that prevent products from absorbing water and forming agglomerates. The increasing expenditure capacities of consumers and rising levels of beauty consciousness among the masses are also promoting the market growth. Apart from this, the leading players are developing thermostable metallic stearates, which are highly resistant to discoloration when used in transparent or brightly colored thermoplastics at high processing temperatures. These developments are anticipated to expand the applications of metallic stearates in the construction and metal processing industries.
