Succinic Acid Market by Type (Bio-Based Succinic Acid, Petro-Based Succinic Acid), End-Use Industry (Industrial, Food & Beverage, Coatings, Pharmaceutical), and Region (APAC, Europe, North America, South America, Middle East & Africa) - Forecast to 2023
To get the latest information, inquire now!
[130 Pages Report] The succinic acid market size is projected to grow from USD 131.7 million in 2018 to USD 182.8 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 6.8%. The increasing demand from the industrial, personal care and food & beverage industries fuels the succinic acid market. The increasing demand from the APAC region, and the increasing adoption of succinic acid as a substitute of adipic acid in polyurethane production are the factors driving the succinic acid market. The objective of the report is to define, describe, and forecast the succinic acid market size based on type (petro-base succinic acid and bio-based succinic acid), application (industrial, coating, food & beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals) and region.
The petro-based segment is expected to be largest contributor to the market growth during the forecast period.
The growth of the segment is mainly attributed to the demand from the chemical industry for PBS/ PBST, and polyurethane. Petro-based succinic acid is cost-effective and has better efficiency in comparison with bio-based type. Additionally, it can be widely used in the food & beverage industry as a flavor enhancer and in the chemical industry for the manufacture of PBS.
Industrial application is the largest and fastest-growing end-use industry of succinic acid.
The demand for succinic acid is driven by its use for applications in the industrial applications. Succinic acid is used in PBS/PBST for food packaging, as these are non-toxic, biodegradable, and also have better heat resistance and processability in comparison to other biopolymers. The key drivers for the succinic acid market are the increasing disposable income, changing consumer lifestyle, increased use of plastics, and the growing packaging industry. These factors have fueled the demand for non-toxic, bio-degradable PET bottles, food containers, disposable syringes, blood bags, and other consumer goods in countries such as China, India, Japan, US, and Germany that have led to the growth of the succinic acid market in the PBS/PBST segment.
APAC is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period.
The growth of the market in APAC is mainly driven by the shift of production facilities from North America and Europe to this region. China, India, and Southeast Asia are the major contributors to the growth of the industrial, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and coating industries in the region. These industries are witnessing growth owing to the increasing per capita expenditure and growing urbanization. This is further expected to create a demand for succinic acid in the region.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing demand from APAC
APAC is the fastest-growing succinic acid market. Owing to the growth in the economy and increasing consumer awareness, the market in the region is growing rapidly. This region is also projected to dominate the succinic acid market by 2023 due to the growing industrial base of polyurethane, pharmaceutical, 1, 4- BDO, and food & beverage and the availability of cheap labor and low manufacturing cost. Furthermore, the growing demand for succinic acid derivatives from China has spurred the growth of the succinic acid market in the APAC region. During the last decade, the succinic acid market in China witnessed a steady growth owing to the development of downstream industries and the improvement of production technology of succinic acid.
In China, succinic acid is widely being used to produce a series of derivatives, such as dimethyl succinate (DMS) and 1,4- BDO that are further used for soldering flux and surfactants applications in the chemical industry. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a raw material of ferrous succinate, succinimide, and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), whereas in the food & beverage industry, succinic acid is used in the production of disodium succinate, which acts as a flavor enhancer for food. Thus, the use of succinic acid for the production of various derivatives in the aforementioned industries in China is increasing the demand for succinic acid in the country.
Restraint: High production costs
The succinic acid market is a capital–intensive market, and the downtime involved with the penetration of succinic acid as an intermediate to the existing material/application also causes significant loss to the end-use industries. The R&D costs associated with petro-based succinic acid, in terms of labor, and raw materials is high. The failure of bio-based succinic acid due to the lack of cost-competitiveness and performance issues as a substitute for petro-based succinic acid has increased the demand for petro-based succinic acid. The setup of succinic acid manufacturing plants for both petro-based and renewable chemicals require huge capital investment, proficient technology, and adequate supply of raw materials, along with rigorous R&D at the micro level to deliver a quality product. The manufacturer also has to achieve economies of scale by undertaking large-scale production and maintaining regular bulk purchases for their products to secure continuous cash flow for the operations. These factors have generated a significant impact on the cost of the end-use product.
Thus, it is difficult for emerging manufacturers to have access to such technology and skilled labor with high capital investment to manufacture environment-friendly, efficient, and sustainable succinic acid products at a very competitive price. These factors are restraining the growth of the succinic acid market.
Opportunity: Increasing potential applications of succinic acid
Succinic acid, also known as amber acid, is a key building block of a wide range of secondary chemicals used across applications in the industries such as pharmaceutical, food & beverage, solvents & lubricants, polyurethane, and agriculture. PBS, 1, 4 – BDO and food applications provide major opportunities for succinic acid.
Polybutylene succinate (PBS) is a biopolymer produced by the poly-condensation of succinic acid and 1, 4 - BDO. PBS is crystalline polyester with a melting temperature of above 212°F (100°C), which is important for high-temperature range applications. PBS is used in a range of applications, including single-use in food service ware (such as cutlery and cups and lids), agricultural mulching films, and compostable bags. PBS can also be made into composites by filling the fibers with other materials to augment the material properties of the substance and, thereby, diversify the potential applications. In the agriculture industry, PBS is used in the fabrication of mulching films or delayed release materials for pesticide and fertilizer. In the medical industry, PBS is used as biodegradable drug encapsulation systems and is also being investigated for application in medical implants. Hence, the increasing potential applications of PBS in different industries are expected to drive the demand for succinic acid for the manufacturing of PBS.
Challenge: Issues in commercialization of bio-based succinic acid
In the past, several succinic acid manufacturers were engaged in the process to develop commercial-scale capacities for bio-based succinic acid. However, except for a few initiations made by the leading players, few successes were reported in the bio-production of succinic acid. The production of bio-based succinic acid through renewable feedstock resulted in low yield and cost-intensive separation process. This led to reduced demand for bio-based succinic acid, eventually leading to the closure of major plants.
The major challenges for expanding the use of succinic acid as a building block include the development of low-cost fermentation routes. In order to ensure the competitiveness of bio-based-succinic acid in comparison to petroleum-based products, there is a need for the development of a cost-effective sugar fermentation process. In addition, the fermentation process needs to be improved, in terms of productivity, nutrient requirement for the process, final titer, and pH considerations. The limited success of other biochemical production initiatives prevents manufacturers from foraying into the bio-based succinic acid market.
The green credentials of bio-based processes are often challenged, as these processes require significant land and water to grow their feedstock. Moreover, the process used for the production of bio-based succinic acid is quite complex, which is limiting the use of succinic acid as a chemical building block. These are the major issues involved in the commercialization of succinic acid produced by renewable feedstock.
