Platform chemicals represent a group of twelve (one not commercialized yet) building block chemicals that can be produced from sugars via biological conversions. Factors responsible for the growth of the bio-based platform chemicals market are volatility in crude oil prices, availability of loEdit Linkw cost feedstock and favorable government regulations towards bio-based products. Furthermore, rising adoption of bio-based chemicals in different industries such as personal care, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages including others are some of the key factors driving the market growth. However, high production cost of bio-based chemicals is likely to hamper the market growth.

C-3 chemicals (Glycerol and 3-hydroxypropionic acid) accounted for the highest consumption in 2015, owing to its unique property of getting converted into various other useful chemicals such as alcohols, acids and resins. Furthermore, absence of a petrochemical route for the production of (3-hydroxypropionic acid) 3-HP, drives the C-3 platform chemicals market growth. 3-HP can be transformed into different high-value chemicals such as 1,3-propanediol, acrylic acid, methyl acrylate, acrylamide, malonic acid, ethyl 3-HP, propiolactone and acrylonitrile. These high value chemicals are used in a variety of applications such as solvents, plastics & molding, fibers & resins, composites, adhesives, laminates, floor polishes, paints & coatings, aliphatic polyesters & copolyesters, wastewater treatment, gel electrophoresis, papermaking, ore processing, vitamins and disinfectants used to sterilize vaccines, tissue grafts, blood plasma, surgical instruments and enzymes.

C-5 chemicals forms second most dominating group in bio-based chemicals market with glutamic acid as major contributor apart from levulinic acid, itaconic acid and xylitol. Glutamic acid and its derivatives have capability to replace traditional petroleum based polymers such as polyesters and polyamide whereas itaconic acid potential to produce verity of the high value chemicals such as 3-methyl pyrrolidine, 3-methyl NMP, 4-methyl NMP, 2-methyl-1,4-BDO, 3-methyl THF, 3-methyl GBL, 4-methyl GBL, 2-methyl-1,4-butanediamine, and itaconic diamide making them fastest growing chemicals in C-5 chemicals group.
