Normal Paraffin market, valued at USD 14.5 Billion in 2024, is projected to surpass USD 21.8 Billion by 2033, indicating a robust CAGR of 4.6%

Normal paraffins (n-paraffins) are straight-chain saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) found in crude oil and natural gas. These colorless, odorless, and non-polar compounds are primarily derived from petroleum refining and have a wide range of industrial applications. They are commonly used in the production of detergents, lubricants, and solvents. Additionally, n-paraffins serve as feedstock for manufacturing chlorinated paraffins, which function as plasticizers and flame retardants.

In 2024, Apar Industries will launch a new line of high-purity normal paraffins specifically developed for pharmaceutical and cosmetic uses. In the chemical industry, n-paraffins are essential raw materials for the production of linear alkylbenzene (LAB), a vital component of biodegradable detergents. Their great purity and durability make them ideal for use in cosmetics, adhesives, and coatings that require consistency and performance. Certain grades of n-paraffins find use in the food sector as food-safe lubricants and anti-caking agents. Due to their low reactivity and non-toxic nature, they are widely utilized in pharmaceuticals and personal care products.
