The United States fumaric acid market is currently witnessing moderate growth. Fumaric acid, or trans-butenedioic acid, is an organic, white crystalline compound used as a flavoring agent in various food products. It is commonly found in lichens, mosses and mushrooms and is used as a preservative, acidulant, pH adjusting agent and flavor enhancer in bakery products, confectioneries and beverages. It can also act as a substitute for tartaric acid in drinks and baking powders. In addition to this, fumaric acid also finds extensive application in the production of various pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, synthetic resins, paints and plastics.

The United States is one of the largest consumers of fumaric acid in the North American region. With the increasing sedentary lifestyles and changing dietary patterns, there is a rising demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) and convenience food products that are manufactured using fumaric acid for enhanced stability and flavor. The acid is also added to energy drinks and alcoholic beverages to provide an intense aftertaste to the product. The extensive utilization of the acid in various foods and beverages is creating a positive outlook for the market in the country. Furthermore, fumaric acid is widely used as a stabilizing agent in the manufacturing of paints, alkyd resins and unsaturated polyester resins, which, in turn, is contributing to the market growth. Other factors, including extensive research and development (R&D) activities across the country to produce bio-based fumaric acid, are driving the market further. Looking forward, the market is expected to continue its moderate growth during the forecast period (2021-2026).
