According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Linear Alpha olefins Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024”, the market size reached a value of US$ 9 Billion in 2018. Linear alpha olefins (LAOs) are alkenes having a chemical formula of CxH2x, with a double bond at the first carbon atom of the chain. They are mostly manufactured by the oligomerization of ethylene molecules in the presence of a solvent and catalyst. It can also be produced by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, followed by purification. The physical properties of linear alpha olefins vary depending on the carbon chain length. For instance, carbon length of C6-C18 are transparent and colorless liquids while C20+ are waxy solids. In recent years, the demand for linear alpha olefins is rising as they not only improve the quality of end-products where they are used but also ensure a cleaner and safer production process.
