The Global Market for Succinic Acid is Projected to Reach US$1.1 Billion by 2022
Encouraging Demand for Bio-Succinic Acid
to Drive the Market for Succinic Acid, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA
launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers,
market share, size and demand forecasts on the global Succinic Acid market. The
global market for Succinic Acid is projected to reach US$1.1 billion by 2022,
driven by
encouraging demand for bio-based succinic acid and expanding applications in
various industries.
Succinic acid, also known as amber acid, or Spirit of Amber, is a critical intermediate chemical used
in the manufacture of high-value and high-volume chemicals. Succinic acid represents an essential building block for manufacture of
plasticizers, polybutylene succinate (PBS), resins, and polyurethanes. The
chemical finds increased application in various end-use sectors including food &
beverages, cosmetics, industrial manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. While demand for petroleum based succinic acid
continues to be impacted by rising raw material prices and environmental
concerns, the industry stands to gain from the emergence of bio-based succinic
acid as a replacement. The growth in the
bio-based succinic acid market is mainly due to its attributes including cost
benefits, low carbon footprint, and reduced price volatility as compared to
fossil fuel-based alternatives. A major driving force for the bio-based
succinic acid market is the growing need for green substitutes for chemicals
used in the production of polymers and other complex derivatives. The
commercial success of bio-succinic acid as a raw material in production of BDO
and emerging applications in manufacture of polymers and food and beverages is
expected to translate into significant growth opportunities for the succinic
acid market. In addition, bio-based succinic acid holds the potential to
replace adipic acid in polyester polyols and plasticizers. Market growth is
also driven by technological advancements, developmental strategies, new
capacity expansion projects, and improved
R&D investments by players.
As
stated by the new market research report on Succinic
Acid, Europe represents the
largest market worldwide. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market at a CAGR of 24.9% over the
analysis period. The growth in the market is led by rapid growth of downstream industries in countries
such as India and China and fast-paced economic growth and increased activity
in end-use sectors such as food & beverage, personal care, pharmaceuticals
and industrial manufacturing among others.
