Brazilian Manufacturers to Hold Sway Over the Carnauba Wax Market

 Carnauba wax businesses in northeastern Brazilian states produce around 16,000 tons of carnauba wax every year – a significant percentage of this production is for exports. The carnauba wax market is consolidated by Brazilian wax industry players as Brazil is the largest producer and exporter of carnauba wax. According to the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC), the total value of carnauba wax exported by Brazil in 2016 was worth over US$ 99 million. In 2017, Brazil exported 15,652 tons of carnauba wax and the total value increased up to US$ 101.7 million.

Carnauba oil possesses excellent dispersion characteristics and can produce a glossy finish when used as a polish. Owing to its wide range of applications in specific industrial sectors, the carnauba wax market is likely to witness steady growth in the foreseeable future. Based on the statistics published by the MDIC, the total export value of carnauba wax from Brazil may increase up to US$ 114 million by the end of 2018. United States, Germany, China, Japan, and the Netherlands were the top five countries to import carnauba wax from Brazil in 2017.

 Penetration in Food and Confectionary Industries to Drive Growth

 Carnauba wax possesses good emulsifying and stabilizing properties, which is triggering innovation in the food & beverage industry. Edible films and carnauba wax coatings are used in a large number of food applications to meet product-specific needs such as to improve its shelf life and enhance its outer appearance. Carnauba wax is commonly used in the preparation of confectionery products and fruit coatings, marking a high contribution of the food industry in the growth of the carnauba wax market. For an instance, ‘Haribo’ – a German confectionery company – uses carnauba wax to produce gelatin, which is the primary ingredient of their popular confectionery product – Gummy Bear candies.

While the food industry accounts for the largest revenue share in the carnauba wax market, automotive applications of carnauba wax account a significant share of the industry. Attributing to its high melting point and glossy properties, carnauba wax is commonly used as an automotive care polish. Increasing demand for car waxes made with carnauba oil is likely to fuel the growth of the carnauba wax market. Apart from the food industry and automotive industry, carnauba wax finds numerous applications across other industrial sectors including pharmaceuticals industry and cosmetics industry.

 Opportunities Abound for Carnauba Wax Gains Traction in Cosmetics Industry

 Glossy characteristics of carnauba wax boost its demand for producing cosmetics and personal care products such as lip balms, lip gloss, skin moisturizers, and other eye makeup products. Leading Asian countries such as China, Japan, India, and Australia offer more than 3 billion potential consumers, indicating lucrative opportunities for manufacturers in the cosmetics industry. In 2015, the Europe market for cosmetic products accounted for over US$ 87 Bn and it is likely to grow at a rapid pace in the upcoming years. Leading manufacturers in the carnauba wax market are banking on numerous applications of carnauba wax in the cosmetics industry. Carnauba wax manufacturers are adopting strategies to capture business opportunities in the flourishing segments of the ethnic beauty markets.
