Global Propionic Acid Market size was valued at USD 1.29 billion in 2021 and it is expected to reach USD 1.64 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 3.5% over a forecast period (2022-2028).
Growing demand for feed preservatives as a result of rising high-quality animal feed consumption is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the propionic acid market. Market expansion is anticipated to be fueled by rising demand for feed products with longer shelf lives as well as a rising need for additives that hinder the growth of mold and bacteria. In addition to being a perfect preservative, propionic acid is a key component in the production of vitamin E. A positive outlook for feed products based on propionic acid is also suggested by the depletion of essential elements in animal food sources.

Based on end-use industry, the market is segmented into pharmaceuticals, personal care, food & beverage, agriculture, and others. Based on Region it is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and MEA.
Driver
The global increase in agricultural production is one of the macroeconomic drivers driving propionic acid demand due to the trend toward self-sufficiency in many developing nations, including Indonesia, India, Turkey, etc. The need for acid is further fueled by the fact that it is one of the products that may be used to stop the bacterial invasion and mold growth on crops
Restraint
Growing environmental concerns about the usage of herbicides over time are one of the main reasons restricting this market's growth. The absence of innovative ideas when supplying products is another factor that may hamper the growth of this industry. The pressure on market players to reduce margins on product sales is another factor that could act as a barrier to the growth of the global propionic acid market. The result is affecting overall revenue. Two other factors that can prevent this industry from expanding are a lack of production facilities and the diversity of adverse effects brought on by direct contact with propionic acid.
Market Trends
The substance is used as a herbicide in food and grain preservation and in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Food preservatives are now more widely used due to the rising demand for packaged foods and beverages, which has expanded market penetration. The use of propionic acid as a food additive and in animal feed has been approved by the EPA, FDA, and OSHA, which has stimulated market expansion. With the exception of the United States, it is expected that the global per capita use of food preservatives is below average, creating enormous opportunities for market growth during the forecast period.
