Dimer Acid Market: Global Industry Analysis and Forecast 2014 - 2020
Persistence Market Research Released New Market Report on “Dimer Acid Market: Global
Industry Analysis and Forecast 2014 - 2020”.
Dimer acids or dimerized fatty acids are light yellow, transparent, viscous dicarboxylic acids that
find application in the synthesis of polyamide resins and hot melt adhesives. They are also used
in synthetic lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, alkyd resins, adhesives, surfactants, and fuel oil
additives. Dimer acids are produced by dimerizing unsaturated fatty acids obtained from oleic
acid, tall oil, canola oil, or cottonseed oil on clay catalysts. Dimer acids are also non-toxic in
nature.

Increasing demand for polyamide resins in countries such as China, India, Brazil, and Mexico is
the key driver for dimer acids. Booming construction industry in emerging economies has been
propelling the end-user industries for dimer acid, which are in turn, driving the dimer acid
market. Due to rise in oilfield drilling activities worldwide, the demand for oilfield chemicals is
also escalating at a swift pace, thereby boosting the demand for dimer acids further.
The major application area of dimer acids includes nonreactive polyamide resins, reactive
polyamide resins, oilfield chemicals, and others. Among application segments, non-reactive
polyamide resins dominated the global dimer acid sales in 2013. Reactive polyamide resins are
expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. Increasing demand from the
construction and marine coatings industry is the key growth factor for reactive polyamide resins
market. Booming infrastructural...
