Global Propionic Acid Market Insights

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).

Propionic acid is a colourless, clear liquid with a strong smell. Propionic acid is created via the hydro carboxylation of ethylene using nickel carbonyl as a catalyst. Animal feed additives and food preservatives both use propionic acid and its esters. Due to its antifungal and antibacterial properties and high boiling point, propionic acid is used as a crop protection agent. It was also found to work well in cattle drinking water as an antibacterial agent. A type of carboxylic acid is propionic acid, sometimes referred to as carboxylic acid, methane carboxylic acid, or ethyl formic acid. In its natural state, it can be utilised as an ester in essential oils. It is a natural preservative that is used to increase the shelf life of baked goods like tortillas and bread as well as cheese. Additionally, they are used in the preservation packaging of certain ready-to-eat foods. Future market expansion will be aided by a quickening pace of developments in sectors that employ propionic acid.
