During the second quarter of 2026, the iso butyric acid prices in the USA reached 1469 USD/MT in June. Prices increased moderately as producers faced higher operating and logistics expenses during parts of the quarter. Supply availability remained generally adequate, but planned maintenance at chemical facilities and cautious inventory management limited excess material in the spot market. Demand from manufacturers of chemical intermediates, coatings, flavors, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed additives remained stable.
During the second quarter of 2026, the iso butyric acid prices in China reached 1124 USD/MT in June. The market recorded a slight increase as elevated feedstock expenses and temporary production constraints supported supplier offers. Limited propane arrivals and shutdowns at several propane dehydrogenation facilities restricted propylene availability, placing pressure on production economics for related chemical intermediates. Demand from agrochemical, pharmaceutical, flavor, fragrance, and feed additive manufacturers remained sufficient to absorb available iso butyric acid supply.
During the second quarter of 2026, the iso butyric acid prices in France reached 1843 USD/MT in June. Prices increased as producers continued to face high energy, labor, regulatory, and plant operating expenses. Restricted regional production and cautious utilization rates kept domestic availability controlled, limiting the ability of buyers to obtain deeply discounted material. Import replacement remained available, but freight uncertainty and disruptions affecting international petrochemical routes raised landed costs.
During the second quarter of 2026, the iso butyric acid prices in Germany reached 1641 USD/MT in June. The market strengthened moderately as high manufacturing costs and controlled plant operating rates supported domestic supplier quotations. Germany continued to experience elevated energy and compliance expenses across energy intensive chemical production. Producers consequently prioritized margins and avoided releasing excess volumes at heavily reduced prices.
During the second quarter of 2026, the iso butyric acid prices in Canada reached 1517 USD/MT in June. Prices rose slightly as the market remained closely connected to supply conditions and producer offers in the USA. Canadian consumers continued to depend partly on imported material, making freight charges, border logistics, currency movements, and supplier availability important pricing factors. Demand from pharmaceutical, food ingredient, animal feed, coating, and specialty chemical producers remained steady but did not show strong inventory accumulation.

Europe Iso Butyric Acid Price Trend
Q2 2026:
The iso butyric acid price index in Europe increased as producers continued to manage high energy, labor, environmental compliance, and facility operating expenses. Regional chemical plants maintained cautious utilization rates because demand recovery remained uneven and competition from imported chemicals intensified. Reduced operating activity limited the availability of locally produced specialty acids and allowed suppliers to defend offers. Freight uncertainty linked to disruptions along major international petrochemical routes raised the replacement cost of imported feedstocks and finished material. Demand from pharmaceutical, coating, fragrance, flavor, animal nutrition, and specialty chemical manufacturers remained stable, providing sufficient support for the market.
This analysis can be extended to include detailed iso butyric acid price information for a comprehensive list of countries.

North America Iso Butyric Acid Price Trend
Q2 2026:
The iso butyric acid price index in North America moved slightly upward. Producers maintained firm offers to recover costs associated with plant operations, storage, packaging, inland transportation, and regulatory requirements. Supply remained adequate across the region, supported by sufficient feedstock availability and established distribution networks in the USA and Canada. Weakness in propylene and limited demand from some major derivative industries reduced upstream pressure and prevented a significant increase. However, steady consumption from pharmaceutical, food ingredient, animal nutrition, coating, fragrance, and specialty chemical producers supported regular movement of material. Planned maintenance and disciplined inventory management occasionally reduced spot availability, particularly for buyers requiring specific purity grades.

Asia Pacific Iso Butyric Acid Price Trend
Q2 2026:
Iso butyric acid prices in Asia Pacific showed a moderate upward movement, supported mainly by feedstock costs and temporary production constraints. Early shortages of imported propane reduced operating rates at several propane dehydrogenation facilities, tightening propylene availability and raising production expenses for connected chemical chains. Maintenance activities and cautious producer inventories also limited prompt iso butyric acid supply. Demand from agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, flavors, fragrances, animal feed, coatings, and other specialty applications remained stable across major countries. Later on, the restart of feedstock units improved propylene availability and increased expectations of greater regional output.

Latest News and Developments:
- June 2026: Researchers demonstrated a new approach to improve isobutyric acid production through CO2 based carbon utilization using Clostridium luticellarii. The study found that controlled CO2 limitation redirected microbial carbon conversion toward isobutyric acid formation. The process achieved improved product selectivity by adjusting carbon availability and acetic acid levels. Validation in bioreactors showed successful methanol and CO2 conversion, producing 2.70 ± 0.04 g/L of isobutyric acid, highlighting a potential sustainable production route.
- May 2024: OQ Chemicals lifted its force majeure declaration for products from its Oberhausen and Marl plants in Germany. This follows the successful resumption of operations after an operational halt due to disruptions at a raw material supplier's synthesis gas plant. Key products now available include various aldehydes, alcohols, and acids, such as isobutyric acid, essential for industries like coatings, lubricants, and pharmaceuticals.
Product Description
Iso butyric acid is a branched chain carboxylic acid with the chemical formula C4H8O2. It is also known as 2 methylpropanoic acid and appears as a colorless liquid with a strong rancid odor. The product is slightly soluble in water and readily mixes with alcohols, ethers, and other organic solvents. It is flammable and corrosive, requiring controlled storage, proper ventilation, and suitable handling procedures. Iso butyric acid is primarily used as a chemical intermediate for producing esters, which find applications in flavors, fragrances, solvents, coatings, plasticizers, and specialty polymers. It is also used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, animal feed additives, agrochemicals, textile chemicals, and specialty chemical synthesis. Its branched molecular structure provides useful characteristics to its derivatives, including volatility, solubility, and functional performance. Commercial production is mainly carried out through the oxidation of iso butyraldehyde, which is commonly produced through propylene based oxo synthesis.
