Propionic acid market accounted for revenue of $1.2 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to generate $1.6 billion by 2026. The market is projected to experience growth at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2019 to 2026. Propionic acid is an organic acid produced by the reaction of ethylene and carbon monoxide. The chemical formula for propanoic acid is CH3CH2COOH or C3H6O2 with boiling point of 141.15�C. This acid is considered to be safe for use as common food additive and versatile preservative in animal feed and human food. It possesses antifungal and antimicrobial properties, and hence acts as crop protection agent. In addition, it is used as an intermediate for manufacturing of different chemicals such as cellulose acetate propionate. Moreover, it is widely used in herbicides and preservatives, as it inhibits the growth of bacteria and mold.
