Slack Wax Market

Slack Wax Market

The global slack wax market was valued at US$ 3.8 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 1.7% from 2022 to 2031, reaching approximately US$ 4.5 billion by the end of 2031. This steady growth is driven by increasing demand across industries such as candles, emulsions, and lubricants, along with advancements in refining technologies.

Surge in demand for slack wax for the production of paraffin wax due to the high paraffin content and high flash point in paraffin wax is driving the global slack wax industry. Paraffin wax is used in a wide range of applications including paper coating in flexible packaging, candle manufacturing, rubber, and cosmetics. Rise in adoption of flexible packaging and personal care products is expected to augment the business during the forecast period.

Slack wax is a key raw material used in the production of paraffin wax by utilizing solvent de-oiling and hydro-finishing. Paraffin wax is extensively employed in the manufacture of various products such as candles, wax paper, polishes, cosmetics, and electrical insulators. Slack wax has high paraffin content and possesses a high flash point. It is light in color and has non-staining properties.
