Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) as a fuel additive is projected to boost growth of the global FAME market during the forecast period 2023 - 2032

Pune, India, June, 2018 /press release/- Market Research Future Published a Half Cooked Research Report on Global Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Market Research Report.

Market Overview

The fatty acid methyl ester market is an organic chemical compound, synthesized through transesterification of fatty acids and methanol. It can be derived from the vegetable source such as palm oil, rapeseed, vegetable oil, and soya beans. Rapeseeds are mainly preferred to produce fatty acid methyl ester due to high oil content (over 30%–40%), and it's high cetane content that gives complete combustion as well as lowers the emissions of harmful gases.

By type, the medium chain triglyceride is the fastest growing type of FAME among others due to surging demand from the foods & beverages industry. Glyceryl monostearate, another substantial type of FAME, is majorly used as an emulsifier in baking operations.

Based on applications, the product is primarily used as a substantial constituent of biodiesel and is preferred over conventional diesel due to non-toxic and biodegradable nature. Additionally, FAME is majorly used to nullify any corrosion that can be caused by free fatty acids to the metals of engines and production facilities. In the food & beverages industry FAME is used an emulsifying and thickening agent. The product finds its usage in a range of applications such as fuel additives, coatings, lubrication, metalworking fluids, and cosmetics & personal care.
