Global Propionic Acid & Derivatives Market is Segmented By Product(Propionic acid, Derivatives), By Form(Liquid, Dry), By Type(Encapsulated, Synthetic, Natural), By Application(Animal Feed & Grain Preservatives, Food Preservatives, Herbicides, Others), and By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) – Share, Size, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2023-2030

 

Propionic Acid & Derivatives Market Overview

The global propionic acid & derivatives market size was worth US$ XX million in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$ XX million by 2030, growing at a high CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030). 

 

Propionic acid and derivatives are three-carbon carboxylic acids with the chemical formula CH3CH2COOH that have a pungent odor and a clear, colorless liquid. Bacteria ferment carbohydrates such as glucose to create propionic acid. Aryl propionic acid and its derivatives have various biological activities, including antibacterial, anticonvulsant, anticancer, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects. It also contains the most potent analgesic and antipyretic chemicals, such as ibuprofen, Oxaprozin, Ketoprofen, and Phenoprofen, among others. The use of propionic acid derivatives in the therapy of cancer symptoms is essential.

In a fermentation reaction, propionic bacteria in sweat glands and the intestines generate propionic acid and carbon dioxide. Propionic acid and its derivatives are widely used as feed and food preservatives. Paints and coatings, food & drinks, medicines, personal care & cosmetics, and other end-user sectors rely heavily on propionic acid and derivatives.

Propionic Acid & Derivatives Market Dynamics and Trends

The rising demand for pharmaceutical medications to treat disorders like nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal bleeding, constipation, or diarrhea drives the global propionic acid and derivatives market. The market has been fueled by rising demand for propionic acid and derivatives in the food & beverage manufacturing industries and increasing population needs. Propionic acid and products are in high order because they are employed as preservatives in the food and beverage industries.

The growing demand for paint and coatings 

The market is supported by increased demand for paints and coatings due to increased urban populations and the global building and construction sector. Propionic acid and derivatives bind the ingredients in the paints and coatings business. 

Propionic acid and derivatives are in high demand due to worldwide growth in the paint and coating industries. According to the American Coating Association, the global paints and coatings market reached roughly US$ 158 billion in 2019, with China accounting for around 28% of the worldwide market, or US$44.5 billion.

The rising demand for preservatives for animal feed manufacturing 

Propionic acids and their derivatives are in high need for animal feed production because they serve as preservatives and improve the shelf life of the feed. The market's expansion has been fueled by rising commercial animal feed output worldwide. 

According to the UNFAO- United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the global commercial feed manufacturing industry generates over US$400 billion yearly. The demand for animal protein, such as livestock, dairy, and seafood, is mostly to blame. It resulted in a surge in demand for propionic acid and its derivatives worldwide.

The high price of propionic acid 

Due to a lack of manufacturing facilities in many countries, supply has been limited, resulting in a global average price increase for propionic acid and its derivatives. Over the next six years, the high price of propionic acid and limited manufacturing technology pose a severe threat to market growth.

COVID-19 Impact on Propionic Acid & Derivatives Market Growth

The COVID-19 outbreak prompted the shutdown of several major production industries and the worldwide propionic acid and derivatives market has experienced a modest reduction. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some countries have temporarily banned manufacturing. Further, due to poor demand in June 2020, the textile and apparel industry's growth slowed.

In August 2020, however, demand for propionic acid and derivatives climbed slightly as several significant manufacturers began production. Due to increased demand, the biggest makers of pharmaceuticals and animal feed have planned investments to increase production. For example, BASF and SINOPEC launched a joint venture to increase neopentylglycol production capacity in Nanjing, China. The annual capacity is expected to be 80,000 metric tonnes. The propionic acid and derivatives market has a significant opportunity due to the growing need for pharmaceutical medications to alleviate the symptoms of COVID-19.

Propionic Acid & Derivatives Market Segmentation Analysis

By type, the propionic acid market & derivatives are classified into encapsulated, synthetic, and natural.

The rising preservation of foods and production of cereals & grains 

The encapsulated sector had the largest market share, owing to the rising demand for food grain preservation and increased grain output worldwide. Because encapsulated propionic acid and its derivatives are commonly used to safeguard dry agricultural items like grains. 

According to research published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.S. (FAO), worldwide cereal production reached 2707 million tonnes in 2019 and is expected to reach 2 745 million tonnes by 2021. It resulted in massive demand for encapsulated propionic acid to preserve such a large amount of cereal grains worldwide.

Propionic Acid & Derivatives Market Geographical Share

The rising investments by leading players in various industries in Europe

Due to several manufacturing companies related to food & beverages and pharmaceuticals with growing demand and increasing investments by the major players in the region, Europe dominates the global propionic acid and derivatives market, accounting for the largest market share, followed by North America and Asia-Pacific.

Due to many food and beverage production industries, the UK supplied the most significant demand for propionic derivatives in Europe. According to the food and drink federation organization, the presence of various food & drink manufacturing companies in the UK contributed roughly US$ 35 billion to the country's economy.
