Propionic Acid Market 2013 Share, Trend, Segmentation and Forecast to 2019

The global propionic acid market has been exhibiting steady growth in the last few years. Potential market opportunities in developing countries are likely to further boost the growth potential of the global propionic market during the forthcoming years. Propionic acid (CH3CH2COOH) is a colorless liquid that emits a pungent odor and is miscible in water. It is a naturally occurring carboxylic acid and is used extensively in the manufacture of several salts and esters. The use of propionic acid as a flavoring agent in the food and beverages industry has increased substantially in the last few years.

However, it is mainly used as a preservative in both human food and animal feeds. Propionic acid helps in inhibiting bacterial growth or molds on agricultural yields, which explains its high demand across economies that are mainly driven by agriculture.

For the purpose of the study, the global propionic acid market is segmented in terms of parameters including industrial application and regional distribution. The key application segments of the global propionic acid market include cellulose acetate propionate (CAP), calcium and sodium propionates, animal feed and grain preservatives, and others such as herbicides. Regionally, the global propionic acid market is segmented into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and Rest of the World.
