Brassylic Acid Market: Market Restraints

Availability of substitutes and its potential to cause health problems

Brassylic acid is majorly used in the fragrance industry for the synthesis of macrocyclic musk, however, other musk compounds such as nitro musk and polycyclic musk compounds are readily available in the market. Moreover, direct contact with brassylic acid can cause skin and eye irritation and is expected to cause respiratory problems. The availability of substitutes and their potential to cause health problems are expected to hamper the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Brassylic Acid Market: Growth Factors

Rising applications of brassylic acid in various end use industries

The demand for brassylic acid is expected to increase over the forecast period, owing to rising applications of brassylic acid in various end use industries such as fragrances & perfumes, lubricants, and adhesives coupled with important use in the formation of polyurethanes, alkyd resins, and polyamides. Moreover, it is used as monomers for certain co-polymers such as nylon 13,13. Various diesters of brassylic acid are incorporated into PVC (Polyvinal Chloride)and are used as plasticizers. These derivatives of brassylic acid possess the property to remain stable at low-temperature conditions. Di-cyclohexyl brassylate (a derivative of brassylic acid) has properties similar to those shown by bis-3-Ethylhexyl phthalate, which is the most widely used plasticizer in moderate-temperature applications.
