What is Erucic Acid?

Erucic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, chemically classified as a 22-carbon chain fatty acid with one double bond at the omega-9 position. It is predominantly found in the seeds of plants from the Brassicaceae family, especially in high concentrations in mustard seed oil and rapeseed oil. While it naturally occurs in several plant-based oils, its concentration varies based on crop variety and processing methods. Erucic acid is primarily used in industrial applications due to its long carbon chain, which makes it suitable for producing slip agents, lubricants, plasticizers, and surfactants. It is also utilized in the manufacture of erucamide, a compound widely used in plastic films. Although previously linked to potential health concerns at high intake levels, modern cultivars of rapeseed, such as canola, have been specifically bred to contain very low levels of erucic acid, thereby ensuring safety in food applications while preserving its industrial value.

Market Trend and Drivers of Erucic Acid:

The erucic acid market is experiencing growth due to rising demand across several industrial sectors, particularly in the production of bio-based lubricants, plastic additives, and surfactants. One of the primary market drivers is the growing preference for biodegradable and environmentally friendly alternatives to petrochemical-based products. Erucic acid’s long-chain structure makes it a valuable component in the manufacture of slip agents and anti-fogging agents used in plastic films, supporting demand from the packaging industry. Additionally, increasing adoption of high erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR) varieties in agriculture has helped improve the efficiency and volume of erucic acid production. The cosmetic and personal care industries also contribute to market expansion, as erucic acid is used in emollients and skin-conditioning agents. Furthermore, the push toward sustainable chemical sourcing is fostering innovation and investment in bio-based oleochemicals. Regional growth in emerging economies, particularly in Asia-Pacific, due to industrialization and increased manufacturing activities, is also bolstering market demand.
