Succinic Acid Market Worth $512.8 Million By 2030 | CAGR 9.7%

Succinic Acid Market Growth & Trends

The global succinic acid market size is expected to reach USD 512.8 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period, according to a new report published by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is attributed to a surge in demand from the end-use industries, such as food & beverages, pharmaceutical, and personal care & cosmetics. In the food & beverages industry, Succinic Acid (SA) is used as a food additive in dietary supplements and food preservation. In the pharmaceutical industry, the product finds application in the preparation of vitamin A and many anti-inflammatory products. It is also used in the formulation of cosmetics and personal care products, such as toothpaste, perfumes, nail polish, and liquid soaps.

Succinic acid is produced from Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Petroleum gas is often expensive. As an alternative to LPG-based production, succinic acid is generated by different microbes and is naturally formed by undertaking the process of anaerobic digestion. It is regarded as a common organic acid that is used in a variety of applications. Bio-based SA is similar in structure to petroleum-based products. However, it helps reduce carbon emission, as well as optimize and enhance the performance of the acid. Rising customer preference for biodegradable plastics and other greener materials is a key factor driving the market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic crippled economies across the globe and severely impacted the supply chains across industries. The supply chain of raw materials for succinic acid production was drastically impacted, changing the production and consumption patterns globally. The industrial end-use segment dominated succinic acid consumption over the last decade. But a halt in the production of non-essential chemicals, ingredients, or industrial products during the pandemic hampered the demand for starting materials, adversely impacting the demand. However, with the lifting of lockdowns and movement restrictions, the market is expected to witness a steady rise in demand.
