Innovation in Wax Formulations for Packaging Materials and Other Applications Fuels Market Growth: Fact.MR Report

The global industrial wax market is estimated to garner a revenue of around US$ 8,356.7 million in 2024, which was roughly US$ 6,738 million in 2019. The global demand for industrial wax is expected to rise at a 4.4% CAGR through 2034. By the end of this projection period, the market is expected to reach up to US$ 12,854 million.

The growing use of paraffin wax for several industrial uses, most importantly in the packaging sector, is the key factor driving its production and sales in these years. The rising use of several types of industrial wax formulations, including microcrystalline wax for making cosmetics and personal care products, is another factor encouraging diversification of the industry. In addition to this, by making investments in the creation of sustainable wax substitutes or synthetic wax, the industry under discussion is likely to expand further.

Key Takeaways from the Global Industrial Wax Market Study Report:

The net worth of total industrial wax consumed in North America is likely to be nearly US$ 2,390 million in 2024, constituting 28.6% of the global market share.
