Formic Acid Market – Market Overview

Formic acid is having colourless appearance which can be produced by chemical synthesis as well as found naturally in ant venom. It belongs to carboxylic group having high pungent odor and is soluble in alcohols, acetone and ether. Rising demand of preservative and antibacterial agents in livestock feed is expected to augment the market growth. Moreover, increasing application scope in end use industries such as animal feed, dyeing and finishing textiles, rubber and leather industry and pharmaceutical are anticipated to propel the formic acid market over the forecast period.
According to concentration grade, formic acid is available 85%, 90%, 94% and 99%. Formic acid with 85% concentration is largest dominating followed by 94% and 99%. Formic acid can be produced by two method such as carbonylation of methanol and oxalic acid. Carbonylation of methanol is projected to account for largest market share over oxalic acid estimated to grow at CAGR of 4.97% over the forecasted period. This is attributed to growing adoption of carbonylation of methanol by major producing companies like BASF and Kemira. Formic acid is widely used as substitute to mineral acids in various cleaning products. It is used to regulate pH which extensively used in leather manufacturing. The principal use of formic acid is as preservative as well as antibacterial agent in the feed additive. Cleaning and descaling of equipment and tanks along with lime scale removal in toilet bowl cleaners are application of formic acid as cleaning agent. Furthermore, with high absorbing facility, powerful pH regulator and coagulant in nature, formic acid has prominent application in leather application.

Accrediting the colossal growth, formic acid market is witnessing currently and the potential the market is demonstrating to accrue pervasively further in the years to come; the Market Research Future has recently published a meticulous study report giving out the complete market insight up till 2027. According to which, continuing with the same trends the global formic acid market is projected to perceive an outstanding growth by 2027 registering a striking CAGR during the anticipated period (2017– 2027).

The global formic acid is primarily driven by growing usage of formic acid as antibacterial agent in animal feed coupled with usage as silage preservative in agriculture industry. Formic acid helps to reduce pH and lower the depletion of decay process thereby, causing prolonged retain of nutritional value. Thus, supportive government policies and increased middle-class spending in agriculture industry is expected to drive the formic acid market. Apart from mentioned application, formic acid is used in pharmaceutical industry as local stimulation drug and astringent. Ban on antibiotics as growth promoters in animal feedstock is expected to drive the demand of formic acid over the forecast period. The global formic market is expected to reach USD 878.7 million by the end of forecasted period i.e. 2027. Asia Pacific is dominating region followed by Europe and North America. Countries like China, India, Thailand and Indonesia are expected to grow at rapid pace due to increased spending on R&D facility along with economic development.

Comparatively, China dominated the market for formic acid over other countries in the region accounting over 40% of the consumption of formic acid in the Asia Pacific market. North America and European regions are facing huge competition from emerging markets. In 2006, Europe banned on usage of antibiotics in preservation application.

Additionally, higher grades of formic acid causes health problems owing to high toxicity levels. Changing climatic conditions negatively impact the growth of formic acid which hamper the growth of animal feed. Thus, technological advancement and new product offerings can provide lucrative opportunity to key players in the market.
