The global bio-acetic acid market size is expected to reach USD 317.8 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.3% from 2023 to 2030, as per the new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This is attributable to the increasing demand for acetic anhydride from the global pharmaceutical industry as it is used in the production of various pharmaceuticals such as aspirin, paracetamol, and other analgesics.
It is widely utilized for manufacturing a variety of medicines, including paracetamol. High consumption of paracetamol for fever, headaches, vomiting, body pain, etc. is contributing to the surged usage of products worldwide. Bio-acetic anhydride is also used as a raw material to produce medicines, including theophylline, acetaminophen, cortisone, etc. The market for bio-acetic acid is expected to grow on account of the increasing demand for bio-based medicines at a global level.
Additionally, the higher cost of producing bio-acetic acid is that it often requires more complex and time-consuming production processes compared to traditional acetic acid. For example, bio-acetic acid is often produced through the fermentation of natural sugars or waste materials, which can be a slower and more expensive process compared to producing acetic acid from fossil fuels. Additionally, the cost of raw materials used to produce bio-acetic acid may be higher than traditional fossil-based feedstocks.
High global costs of bio-acetic acid, along with its insufficient feedstock, are expected to restrain the growth of the market for the bio-acetic acid industry across the world in the future. Various factors contributing to the high costs of bio-acetic acid are rising prices of crude oil, surging demand for renewable materials, and increasing investments in green technologies Fluctuations in the prices of raw materials lead to significant spikes in costs of bio-acetic acid owing to the rising global demand for bio-based products.
