Kyowa Hakko looks to Asia to boost higher-alcohol sales

Kyowa Hakko Chemical is aggressively cultivating markets in Asia for its nonanol and tridecanol alcohols, targeting to boost sales by 2-2.5 times within several years. The marketing drive in China is led by the company's Shanghai representative office, and in Southeast Asia and India by its Singapore representative office. Nonanol, a C9 straight-chain fatty alcohol, is traditionally sold in Japan and Europe as a cosmetic ingredient but Kyowa Hakko is now eyeing new markets such as India. Tridecanol is used as a nonionic surfactant for detergents.
