コーティング剤と潤滑剤の需要増加が、世界の工業用モノマー酸市場の成長を牽引
The global industrial monomer acids market is experiencing strong expansion, currently valued at USD 753 million by 2024. Industry analysts forecast the market to grow at a CAGR of 9.4% to exceed USD 1.42 billion by 2032. This growth trajectory is driven by expanding applications in coatings, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemical formulations, particularly in emerging Asian markets where industrial activity is accelerating.
A common by-product of dimer acid production, industrial monomer acid ( CAS 68955-98-6 ) is essential in alkyd resin formulations and surfactant manufacturing. Its unique molecular structure gives it superior performance in corrosion-resistant coatings and controlled-release pharmaceutical applications, placing it at the forefront of industrial chemical innovation.
Market Overview and Regional Analysis
The Asia Pacific region accounts for the majority of monomer acid production, with China in particular accounting for over 45% of global monomer acid production, driven by expanding chemical manufacturing capacity and growing domestic demand . The region benefits from an integrated supply chain connecting tall oil fatty acid suppliers with downstream chemical processors, while North America maintains strong technology leadership in high-purity applications through companies such as ABITEC and Ingevity .
The European market is showing steady growth despite regulatory constraints, with Germany and Belgium emerging as innovation hubs for sustainable monomeric acid derivatives. Latin America offers untapped potential, particularly in the fast-growing paints and coatings sector in Brazil, although infrastructure constraints currently limit market expansion.

Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
Market momentum is primarily driven by three factors: growing demand for eco-friendly alkyd resins in architectural coatings, adoption of monomeric acid intermediates in the pharmaceutical industry, and advances in bio-based production technologies. The global paints and coatings sector, projected to exceed $ 250 billion by 2027 , currently accounts for 38% of monomeric acid consumption.
Emerging opportunities include formulation of battery components for electric vehicles and biodegradable lubricant additives, where the thermal stability of monomeric acids is superior to traditional alternatives. The shift towards sustainable surfactants in personal care products is further expanding the market size for this chemical.
Challenges and Constraints
Price volatility in the tall oil feedstock market continues to be a challenge, with price fluctuations expected to exceed 28% year-on-year in 2023. Regulatory complexity also exacerbates these issues, particularly in Europe, where compliance with REACH regulations costs an average of $ 2.1 million per substance . Expanding production capacity in China is also creating a regional oversupply, squeezing producer profit margins.
Technological barriers remain high as the development of pharmaceutical-grade monomeric acids requires specialized fractional distillation technology that most manufacturers lack. Intellectual property protection concerns also hinder R&D investment in the premium product segment.
