Many industries are transforming from petro-based materials to environmentally sustainable materials. Hence, bio succinic acid is emerging as one of the most competitive chemicals among other bio-based chemicals. Bio succinic acid finds wide applications in various forms; it is mainly being utilized as a useful raw material for polyurethanes, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and personal care ingredients. As a preservative and acidulant made from plant based feedstock, Bio succinic acid offers multiple uses.
Experts say that bio succinic acid market has a brighter future. Its multi-functionality and environmental friendliness may attract investors in long run. Bio Succinic acid is used as a popular intermediate chemical in cosmetic industries, food industries, pharmaceutical industries and varied industrial applications. Latest market research report by Allied market research on bio succinic acid concurs with the growing market.
According to the report, revenue for bio succinic acid market is expected to reach $1.1 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 45.6% from 2013 to 2020. In terms of quantity, bio succinic acid would reach 710 kilo tons. Among many applications of bio succinic acid, 1, 4-butanediol (BDO) remains the major industrial application area.
Why BDO is one of the major contributor of Bio Succinic Acid Market?
BDO finds higher application as intermediate chemical in producing PBT (polybutylene terephtalate), polyurethanes and THF (tetrahydrofuran). Further, larger volumes of bio succinic acid consumed over maleic anhydride to produce BDO will also contribute to the growth of bio succinic acid market.
