Market Overview:

Dimer acid is an adhesive light-yellow liquid that is made by combining unsaturated fatty acids. It is also known as dicarboxylic acid. It is obtained from a process called dimerization with fatty acid from soy, corn, and bran oils combined to gain the final product. The increasing need for the production of polyamides is expected to drive the growth of the dimer acid market. Dimeric acid is frequently used in paint and coating industries due to its durable resistance and adhesive characteristics. The worldwide expansion of the paints and coating industries is anticipated to drive the growth of the dimer acid market.

The increased acceptance of construction and infrastructure development in emerging nations is projected to drive the revenue of the dimer acid market. The alkyd resins that are made up of dimeric acid are usually employed coating industry and are expected to boost market growth. The change in trend from energy imports to domestic generation and the growing energy demand of developing nations is also expected to boost the dimer acid application.

The growing surge of drilling activities across the world to encounter additional energy demand has a positive impact on dimer acid demand and oilfield chemicals. Dimer acid could be essentially important in marine coating used in the form of acid-based polyamide resins for increased coating performance.
