Global Benzoic Acid Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Foreign Trade, 2015-2030

The global Benzoic Acid market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.56% during the forecast period until 2030. Benzoic Acid occurs in form of colorless crystalline solid and is simplest of majority of the carboxylic acid compounds. It is well known as a fungistatic product and hence is largely synthesized as a food preservative. Commercially, Benzoic Acid is produced by partial oxidation of toluene in a high yielding environmental process, in presence of cobalt or manganese salts as catalyst. Benzoic Acid can also be produced by oxidation of Benzene with Carbon Dioxide or concentrated Sulphuric Acid in presence of an active catalyst. Majority of the Benzoic Acid produced across globe is directly converted to Phenol or Caprolactam. Besides that, it is used to produce glycol benzoates that are widely in demand as a plasticizer in adhesive formulations. Benzoic Acid is also actively converted into its constituent salt and esters for consumption as a preservative in drugs, foods and personal care products. Apart from the conventional applications, it is required in drilling mud additive for applications for crude oil recovery. It is also consumed as an anti-microbial agent in mouthwashes, toothpastes, deodorants etc. In addition, it is a key component of benzoic resin used in medicines.

Although, the Benzoic acid market is primarily produced is streamed to manufacture Caprolactam and Phenol, food and beverage segment is also anticipated to grow at an appreciable rate in the coming years on favorable shift in consumer preference towards packaged food and beverage items. The usage of Benzoic Acid market is its usage by the food and beverage industry is because the compound does not affect the taste or odor of the food. In addition, its usage in plasticizer industry is also a potential growth segment for the forecast period owing to consistent advancements in the global plastic industry.

Based on region, the Asia Pacific is the leading consumer of the Benzoic Acid market. During the projection period, the growing demand for benzoic acid for processed food items with urbanization in developing countries like India, China, Japan, and Malaysia coupled with greater demand for plasticizer for infrastructure development is driving up demand for Benzoic Acid in the Asia Pacific region.

Based on the end-user industry, the global Benzoic Acid market is segmented into Chemical Industry, Food & Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, Others. As of 2022, the Chemical Industry is the leading segment with a market share of 65%. Furthermore, the Food & Beverages sector also holds considerable market share of benzoic acid.

Some of the major players operating in Global Benzoic Acid market include Emerland Performance Chemicals, Chemcrux Enterprises Limited, IG Petrochemical Limited (IGPL), Tianjin Dongda Chemical Group, Wuhan Youji Industries Company, and Others.
