Key Market Trends

Bio-Itaconic acid (IA) Segment to Witness Strong Growth

  • Itaconic acid (IA) is also known as methylene succinic acid or methylene butanedioic acid. It is an organic compound manufactured through the fermentation process. Furthermore, it is primarily used as an alternative to petrochemical-derived products (including acrylic acid), during the production of various other chemicals.
  • IA can dissolve in many alcohols, including methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol, as well as is biodegradable in nature. Moreover, it is used to produce monoesters, including monomethyl itaconate. It reacts with substituted pyrrolidones, which are used in applications, such as shampoos, detergents, pharmaceuticals, etc. Itaconic acid and its derivatives have major applications in chemical, textile, and pharmaceutical industries.
  • One of the major factors hindering the adoption of itaconic acid is its high cost, as compared to its substitutes. Thus, IA is primarily used in areas where less volume of it is required.
  • Increasing application of superabsorbent polymers in several end-user industries is one of the factors driving the global bio-based itaconic acid market’s growth. Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are materials that possess the ability to absorb and retain large volumes of liquid or aqueous solutions. This makes them ideal for use in water-absorbing applications, such as baby nappies, adult incontinence pads, absorbent medical dressings, and controlled release drugs.
  • Bio-based itaconic acid is used instead of acrylic acid, primarily in the production of super absorbent polymers. The depletion of fossil fuels and the need for sustainable development is likely to augment the demand for bio-based itaconic acid for the production of superabsorbent polymers during the forecast period.
Bio-Based Platform Chemicals Market Trends

North America Region to Dominate the Market

  • North America region dominated the global market share and is likely to continue holding the largest share during the forecast period, owing to government regulations promoting the use of bio-based products, and continuous research and innovations in the field of technological modification.
  • Moreover, stringent regulations related to petroleum-based platform chemicals, and depletion of fossil fuel reserves further provides growth opportunity for the bio-based platform chemicals market in the region.
  • In addition, end-user industries, such as food and beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and fertilizer industries, in the country are strictly regulated, in order to avoid negative effects on the health of citizens. In this regard, these industries are more likely to shift to bio-based raw materials when compared to petroleum-based raw materials.
  • Research and development of bio-based platform chemicals and exploration of its beneficial applications in such industries can lead to the mandate of the use of such bio-based platform chemicals in the region.
  • Hence, all such factors are likely to drive the demand for bio-based platform chemicals in the region, during the forecast period.
