Market Overview:
The global isobutyric acid market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for isobutyric acid from various applications such as spices, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, and others. Isobutyric acid is also used as a reagent grade in various laboratories for research purposes. North America dominates the global isobutyric acid market and accounts for around one-third of the total share in terms of revenue.
Product Definition:
Isobutyric Acid is a four-carbon organic acid with the molecular formula C4H8O2. Isobutyric acid is naturally produced by the fermentation of sugars and other carbohydrates. It is also found in small quantities in plant and animal tissues. Isobutyric acid has a wide range of applications, including as a solvent, an intermediate in chemical synthesis, and a flavoring agent.
Reagent Grade:
Isobutyric acid is a white crystalline organic liquid. Isobutyraldehyde and 2- methyl 1 - propanol are the key raw materials used in its production. The manufacturing process involves hydrolysis of acetone (CH3COH) to form carboxylic acid, which is then oxidized with chromium trioxide to form isobutylene and eventually i- butanol.
Industrial Grade:
Industrial grade is used in the production of isobutyric acid which is majorly used as a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride and as an intermediate in the production of acrylonitrile. Isobutyric acid also finds application in pharmaceuticals, chemical intermediates, and food additives.
Application Insights:
The global isobutyric acid market has been segmented on the basis of application into pharmaceutical, plasticizer, and spices. The pharmaceutical segment accounted for a major share in 2017 and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period. This can be attributed to various factors such as increasing healthcare spending by governments as well as individuals; growing population; changing lifestyle patterns of consumers towards adopting new health-related habits including taking dietary supplements & vitamins; technological advancements in manufacturing processes that result in increased production of drugs & medicines leading to higher demand for chemical intermediates which are used as raw materials by drug manufacturers thereby driving the growth of isobutyric acid market over the forecast period.
Plasticizers are anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to its rising use in manufacturing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins which are extensively used across several end-use industries such as construction, automotive interiors, electrical appliances housing and packaging among others.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region has been witnessing strong economic growth on account of rapid industrialization and urbanization. This, in turn, has led to an increase in product demand from various end-use industries such as plasticizers, pharmaceuticals, flavors & fragrances and others.
The Asia Pacific economy is driven by growing consumption of isoBHA for use as a food additive or chemical intermediate across various industries such as plastics & polymers; flavors & fragrances; pharmaceuticals; nutraceutical products among others. China dominated the regional market owing to high production volume coupled with rising demand from end-use industries mainly from Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Vietnam among other countries within ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for isobutyric acid in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries as a preservative and flavoring agent.
- Growing demand from the bio-based plastics industry as a replacement for petroleum-based plastics.
- Rising demand from the food and beverage industry for production of high-quality products such as beer, wine, cheese, and meat products.
- Increasing use of isobutyric acid in personal care products such as shampoos, conditioners, soaps, etc., due to its moisturizing properties.
