Global Wax Market Size, Share, Development, Growth and
Demand Forecast to 2020
Wax market is growing at a considerable rate and is expected to grow in coming years due to the introduction of
gas-to-liquid waxes. With the rise in end users of waxes, such as packaging market and cosmetics market, the
wax market is growing with a significant rate. While, closure of group I base oil refineries is a major factor
declining the wax market growth to some extent. China is the largest exporter and producer of paraffin wax
whereas Europe and North America are highest importer and demand originator of wax. The wax market had
become unstable in the terms of prices in last few years mainly due to price volatility in crude oil.

Wax is an organic compound that is flexible at ambient temperature and after melting above 45 degree Celsius, it
turns into a low viscosity liquid. Waxes are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents and are resistive to
air and water. Waxes are used for impregnating paper, make wax paper and coating paper, so as to make it
resistant to staining and to moderate its surface properties. Shortfall in the supply of wax is expected to slow
down the wax market growth to some extent. In middle ages, sealing wax was usually used to close essential
documents and wax tablets were used as writing surfaces. There are different types of wax such as montenegro,
ragusan, byzantine, and bulgarian, ordinary waxes from Poland, Spain and Riga, unrefined waxes and colored
waxes.
