Isobutyric Acid Market by Type (Synthetic, Renewable), End-Use (Animal Feed, Chemical Intermediates, Food & Flavors, Pharmaceuticals), and Region (Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, Rest of the World) - Global Forecast to 2028

The isobutyric acid market is projected to grow from USD 180 million in 2023 to USD 269 million by 2028, at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2023 to 2028. The isobutyric acid market is on the way to intense growth due to different end-uses including animal feed, food & flavor, pharmaceutical, chemical intermediate, and others.

By type, renewable isobutyric acid is expected to be the second-larger segment during 2023 to 2028, by value

Based on type, renewable isobutyric acid is expected to account for the second-larger market share. Renewable isobutyric acid is derived from renewable or sustainable feedstocks instead of fossil fuels. It is produced through biosynthesis of glucose or starch. There is less production of renewable isobutyric acid as compared to synthetic one due to high cost. Also, synthetic isobutyric acid is majorly manufactured due to easy availability of petroleum feedstocks used as raw materials. But with the increasing customer preference towards bio-based products, the market for renewable isobutyric acid will grow.

By end-use, chemical intermediate is expected to be the second-largest segment during 2023 to 2028, by value

The chemical intermediate segment is expected to account for the second-largest market share owing to its wide usage in the production of various chemicals. Chemical intermediates are substances that act as raw materials or building blocks in the production of more complicated chemicals. The factors influencing the use of isobutyric acid as a chemical intermediate are desired properties, the target compound, and the specific requirements of the desired application.

By region, Europe is expected to be the second-largest segment during 2023 to 2028, by value

Europe is projected to account for the second-largest market share from 2023 to 2028. The region is home to one of the largest feed industries globally. There is a rising need for good feed additives to boost animal health and performance due to the growing consumption of meat and meat products in the region. This creates opportunity for potential use of isobutyric acid in animal feed. Also, the rising demand for processed food and growth in pharmaceutical sectors in European countries are expected to propel the demand for isobutyric acid.
