1-Decene is a hydrocarbon that belongs to the alkene group and consists of a chain of ten carbon atoms with one double bond. It is a white, clear, mobile liquid with a pleasant odor that is toxic in nature. It is commonly produced by the oligomerization of ethylene or by cracking higher carbon content petroleum waxes. 1-Decene is widely used as a monomer in copolymers and as an intermediate in the production of oxo alcohols, epoxides, alkylated aromatics, amines, and synthetic fatty acids. It is usually stored under a nitrogen blanket and exhibits anti-corrosive properties. As a result, it is used in perfumes, oils, dyes, pharmaceuticals, resins, dough dividing machines, industrial gear systems, automatic transmission engines, and marine applications.
The increasing utilization of 1-decene in the production of polyalphaolefin (PAO) is creating a positive outlook for the market. PAO is a synthetic lubricant that is widely utilized in the automotive and manufacturing industries as a transmission, compressor, lube-oil added substance and gear oil. Apart from this, the rising consumption of packaged food products is acting as another growth-inducing factor as 1-decene is employed to produce polymers, such as polyethylene, that are used to pack these items. They are also used as food additives, glazing and polishing agents, which, in turn, has intensified their adoption in the food and beverage (F&B) industry. Additionally, 1-decene is widely used as a chemical intermediate in the production of detergents and their derivates that are further incorporated in the manufacturing of industrial surfactants. This is facilitating their usage in end use industries, which is consequently creating a positive outlook for the market. Other factors, including the rising expenditure capacities of consumers, decrease in the prices of raw materials, and significant expansion in the automotive industry, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.

The global 1-decene market was valued at USD 1.32 Billion in 2024.
We expect the global 1-decene market to exhibit a CAGR of 4.81% during 2025-2033.
The rising demand for 1-decene as a chemical intermediate to produce detergents and their derivates, that are further utilized to manufacture industrial surfactants, is primarily driving the global 1-decene market.
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to the implementation of stringent lockdown regulations across several nations, resulting in the temporary halt in the production activities of 1-decene.
Based on the derivative, the global 1-decene market can be divided into polyalphaolefins, oxo alcohols, linear alkyl benzene, linear mercaptans, chlorinated alpha olefins, and others. Currently, polyalphaolefins account for the majority of the global market share.
Based on the grade, the global 1-decene market has been segregated into bio-based and synthetic, where synthetic currently exhibits clear dominance in the market.
Based on the application, the global 1-decene market can be bifurcated into surfactants, plasticizers, synthetic lubricants, polyethylene, and others. Currently, synthetic lubricants hold the largest market share.
On a regional level, the market has been classified into North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa, where Asia-Pacific currently dominates the global market.
Some of the major players in the global 1-decene market include Alfa Aesar (Thermo Fisher Scientific), Angene Chemical Private Limited, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC, Gelest Inc. (Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation), Idemitsu Kosan Company Ltd., Ineos Group Ltd, Merck KGaA, PJSC Nizhnekamskneftekhim, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation, and Spectrum Laboratory Products Inc.
