Growing Demand for Polyalphaolefins (PAOs) in Lubricants
The use of polyalphaolefins (PAOs) as high-performance lubricants is the major new trend that is driving growth in the Brazil Alpha Olefins market. Lubricants, which are the synthetic form of PAOs and are based on 1-decene and other alpha olefins, are one of the main substances used in automobiles, industrial machinery, and aerospace due to their high thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and good viscosity performance. The Brazilian automotive industry is experiencing growth, as indicated by a report from the Associação Nacional dos Fabricantes de Veículos Automotores (ANFAVEA). The statistics for December 2023 showed that new vehicle sales, including trucks and buses, made a leap of 14.6% year-over-year, to 248,559 units. Total vehicle sales in 2023 reached 2,308,689 units, marking a 9.7% rise compared to 2022. This expected trend is going to last through 2024-2025. The rising level of vehicle manufacturing and the demand for fuel-efficient and durable lubricants is the driving force behind the acceleration of PAO consumption. Besides, Brazil's industrial sector picked up by 4.3% in 2023, leading to a greater use of advanced lubricants in heavy machinery and manufacturing units. Environmental
Rising Use of Linear Alpha Olefins (LAOs) in Surfactants & Detergents
The surfactant and detergent industries are experiencing strong demand for linear alpha olefins (LAOs), particularly 1-dodecene and 1-tetradecene, which serve as key raw materials in producing linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) surfactants. LAS-based detergents are biodegradable and ecologically friendly, in line with Brazil's National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) and growing customer demand for eco-friendly cleaning solutions. Brazil's domestic and industrial cleaning business has grown steadily, owing to increased urbanization and hygiene awareness. In parallel, Brazil's home cleaners industry is predicted to earn over USD 1.17 billion in sales by 2025. The market is projected to grow at an annual rate of 3.36%, leading to a rising demand for alpha olefins. In response, multinational detergent manufacturers in Brazil are prioritizing sustainable surfactants, shifting away from petroleum-based compounds in favor of plant-derived or biodegradable alternatives. This shift is fostering innovation in olefin-based surfactant formulations, particularly in green household detergents, personal care products, and industrial cleaners.
