As per the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Butyric Acid Market Report by Type (Synthetic, Bio-based), Derivative (Sodium Butyrate, Calcium Butyrate, and Others), Application (Animal Feed, Chemical Intermediate, Food and Flavor, Pharmaceutical, Perfume, and Others), and Region 2024-2032,” the global butyric acid market reached a value of US$ 234.6 Million in 2023. Butyric acid is a colorless and organic acid majorly derived from animal fats such as buffalo, sheep and goat milk. It is also found in rancid butter and arnica oil and is industrially manufactured by fermenting starch and sugar with putrefying cheese and calcium carbonate. It involves the oxidation of butyraldehyde that is obtained from propylene, derived by oxo-synthesis from crude oil. Nowadays, butyric acid is manufactured at a relatively low rate, yield and concentration than the traditional butyric acid fermentation process.
Global Butyric Acid Market Trends:
The global butyric acid market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for renewable butyric acid and the growing need for clean energy sources such as biofuel. Butyric acid is employed as a precursor to biofuels, which offer environmental advantages such as security of supply, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and improved sustainability. Besides this, butyric acid is widely used in the pharmaceutical sector to manufacture drugs, especially for cancer treatment. Moreover, there has been an increase in the utilization of butyric acid in the animal feed industry for swine and poultry as it helps maintain animal intestinal health and growth performance. In addition to this, rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles, along with rising investments for developing the food processing and chemical industries, are further driving the market growth. Looking forward, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
