The Global Adipic Acid Market is Projected to Reach 8 Billion Pounds by 2022
Stable Demand from End-Use Sectors to Sustain Growth
in the Global Adipic Acid Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive
analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, market
size and demand forecasts on the global Adipic Acid market. The
global Adipic Acid market is projected to reach 8 billion pounds by 2022, driven
by the growing demand from major end-use application markets such as automotive,
footwear and electronics & electrical manufacturing coupled with the shift towards
bio-based adipic acid.
Adipic acid is a
crystalline white compound, used in the manufacture of a wide range of products
in across varied end-user sectors. The compound’s lightweight attributes, high
quality, durability, and superior energy-absorbing features are contributing to
its increasing use in a variety of applications. Adipic acid is primarily used
in the form of feedstock in the production of nylon 66 fibers and resins, with
polyurethane, food additives, and plasticizers among other key applications of
the compound. Adipic acid-based products are commonly used in the automotive,
electronics & electrical, synthetic leather, sporting goods, footwear, food
& beverages, packaging films, and pharmaceutical industries. Over the
years, global consumption of adipic acid has been increasing in line with the
development of applications in major end-use markets. In the coming years,
sustained increase in the consumption of adipic acid-based products in end-use
industries is expected to play a crucial role in driving market growth. Rising
demand for nylon
6,6 fibers and resins as feedstock in applications such as technical
fibers, tire-cord, textiles and carpets, and in the manufacture of lightweight
automotive parts is expected to fuel adipic acid consumption.
In addition to end-use
sector dynamics, adipic acid market is also impacted by factors such as the
adoption of stringent safety regulations, development of innovative techniques,
and favorable long-term prospects for eco-friendly bio-based adipic acid.
Increased focus on R&D for textile production technology is proving
beneficial for the market. Focus is specifically on the development of durable,
high quality, lightweight and higher absorption capacity fibers that are
chemical inert and can also endure extreme conditions such as those involving
high temperature conditions. The market is however being adversely impacted by
volatile prices of raw materials and increase in prices of other feedstock,
which is driving consumers towards low-cost alternative products. The adoption
of stringent environmental regulations in North America and Europe is also
leading to a decline in demand for synthetic adipic acid, as its production
process leads to the release of nitrous oxide emissions into the atmosphere.
As stated by the new
market research report on Adipic
Acid, Asia-Pacific represents the largest market worldwide supported by the
development of automotive, electronics manufacturing and footwear industries in
countries such as China and India. China especially is emerging as a major production
force with several adipic acid production plants shifting to the country to take
advantage of favorable tax regulations and incentives. The Middle East &
Africa is forecast to emerge as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 7.2%
over the analysis period.
