Tall Oil Fatty Acid (TOFA) Market Overview
Tall Oil Fatty Acid (TOFA) Market Size was valued at USD 3.10 billion in 2023. The Tall Oil Fatty Acid (TOFA) industry is projected to grow from USD 3.30 billion in 2024 to USD 5.46 billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.50% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Tall oil fatty acid is formed under a specific temperature with the reaction of esters and carboxylic acids. In general, the tall oil fatty acid is known as a crude tall oil product that is a major substitute for fatty acid plant oil. Basically, TOFA consists of three components like resin acid, fatty acids, and unsaponifiable matters. In the oil and gas industry, the TOFA acts as a viscosity modifier, lubricant, and corrosion inhibitor. Further, the TOFA has a low carbon footprint, which makes it act as a substitute for vegetable oil.
