Wax Market Scope and Size by 2031
The wax market is expected to grow from US$ 6,500 million in 2022 to US$ 8,400 million by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 4% during 2022–2031.
Wax is a class of organic compounds comprising long alkyl chains. Waxes are lipophilic, malleable solids near ambient temperatures. Higher alkanes and lipids with melting points above 40°C come under the category of wax. Waxes are insoluble in water but soluble in organic and nonpolar solvents. They are extracted from plants and animals and occur in petroleum. Natural wax may contain unsaturated bonds while synthetic wax constitutes homogenous series of long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons that do not have any functional group.
MARKET DYNAMICS
The wax market has witnessed significant growth with the rise in demand from the cosmetics and packaging industries. Moreover, growing health concerns and awareness regarding green products are creating lucrative opportunities for companies in the wax market. Mineral wax is increasingly being used in adhesives formulations, which is another prominent application of wax. The increasing preference for green cosmetics is likely to bring new trends into the wax market in the coming years.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The chemicals & materials and cosmetics industries, among others, faced unprecedented challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic due to disruptions in the global supply chains that adversely affected manufacturing, delivery schedules, and sales. The wax markets experienced decelerated growth due to a decline in demand from several industries, as many production sites were either partially or fully closed amid the fight against SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, a huge gap in supply and demand led to fluctuations in the prices of raw materials required for wax production. However, since 2021, the cosmetics and packaging industry has been reviving significantly. This is likely to propel the demand for wax in the coming years, thereby bolstering the market growth during the forecast period.
