Succinic Acid Market Share: By Type

Based on the type, the market is segmented as bio-based and petro-based segments. The petro-based succinic acid segment dominates the market, as it is cost-effective and offers better efficiency as compared to bio-based succinic acid. The growth of the segment is owing to it being majorly used in the food & beverage industry as a flavor enhancer and in the chemical industry such as polyester polyols for manufacturing polyurethane and polybutylene succinate (PBS).

Succinic Acid Market Share: By End-Use Industry Type

Based on the end-use industry type, the succinic acid market is segmented as industrial, coatings, food & beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and others. The industrial segment is expected to remain the dominant as well as fastest-growing end-use industry segment during the forecast period. The wide use of succinic acid is found in food packaging, as these are non-toxic, biodegradables, having better heat resistance as compared to other biopolymers, which is the major reason for the dominance of this segment.

Succinic Acid Market Share: By Region

In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the largest market for succinic acid during the forecast period, with China, Southeast Asia, and India, being the major countries with lucrative growth opportunities. The growth of the market is driven by the growth of various end-use industries, such as industrial, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and coating industries, which is generating huge demand for succinic acid and the presence of a large number of succinic acid manufacturers in the Asia-Pacific region. In China, succinic acid is majorly being used to produce a series of derivatives, such as dimethyl succinate (DMS) and 1,4-BDO, which are further used for soldering flux and surfactant applications in the chemical industry. North America and Europe are also expected to offer substantial growth opportunities during the forecast period.
