Dublin, March 05, 2018 -- The "1-Decene Market by Derivative (Polyalphaolefins, Oxo Alcohols (Plasticizer and Detergent Alcohols), Linear Alkyl Benzene, Linear Mercaptans, Chlorinated Alpha Olefins, Alkyl Dimethylamine & di-Alkyl Dimethylamine) & Region - Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The 1-Decene market projected to reach USD 1.27 billion by 2022
Increasing demand for 1-Decene from end-use industries such as automobiles and packaging is expected to drive the 1-Decene market. However, volatility in raw material prices and growth of group III base oils are considered as restraints for the growth of the 1-Decene market.
Polyalphaolefins is the largest and fastest-growing segment of the 1-Decene market and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. Low and high-temperature viscosity performance; chemical and shear stability; and resistance to oxidation, thermal breakdown, and oil sludge problems are some of the advantages of polyalphaolefins over traditional lubricants.
The growth of the lubricants market is driven by the increasing demand from end-use industries, such as automotive and manufacturing. The polyalphaolefins segment is further subsegmented into synthetic lubricants and others. High demand for synthetic lubricants in diesel engines is expected to fuel the 1-Decene market during the forecast period.
North America is the largest industrial base for oil & gas, petrochemicals, packaging, automotive, electronics, paints & coatings, pulp & paper, pharmaceuticals. The market in this region has promising growth potential, owing to the availability of low-cost raw materials and the development of shale gas. The US is the leading producer and consumer of 1-Decene in the region.
