The wood preservative application is expected to continue to dominate the naphthenic acid market in the coming years. The products blended with naphthenic acid enhance the life span of wood-based products by providing them protection from decomposition, decaying, fire, microbes, and insects. The rising importance of wood preservatives to protect wooden products from decaying, decomposition, etc., is expected to remain a driving factor in the coming years. Further, the demand for solvent-based wood preservatives is rising in developing countries, owing to high penetration and lower cost. For instance, the demand for naphthenic acid in China is expected to rise at a great pace due to the increasing demand from furniture manufacturing companies for solvent-based intermediaries for the wood preservativeapplications.
