Global Benzoic Acid Market Outlook

The global benzoic acid market size attained a value of approximately USD 1.21 billion in 2023. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of around 5.50% in the forecast period of 2024-2032, reaching a value of around USD 1.96 billion by 2032.

Global Benzoic Acid Market Overview

Benzoic acid is used as an inactive ingredient, antimicrobial preservative, antifungal agent, and as a lubricant for tablets and capsules. Hence, the thriving pharmaceutical sector, owing to the increasing burden of chronic infections and diseases, across the developing economic nations, is escalating the applications of benzoic acid. Meanwhile, use of cyclopentadithiophene-benzoic acid copolymers is also increasing, as a conductive binder in components of lithium-ion batteries. In this regard, the increasing demand for downstream lithium-ion battery products, such as toys, headphones, and power tools, among others, and growing affordability of middle-class population are the key trends contributing to market growth. Expansions of production capacities and research and development towards additional applications of benzoic acid are anticipated to drive the market growth in the coming years.

Asia Pacific to be a Significant Region in the Global Market for Benzoic Acid

The Asia Pacific region dominates the market for benzoic acid, owing to the widespread use of benzoic acid in numerous end-user industries. Due to a steady shift toward packaged goods and an increase in per-capita disposable income, benzoic acid intake has gradually increased in the past few years. China and India are the two largest contributors to the regional market for benzoic acid. Apart from the food and beverage industries, India and China have significant per capita plastic use, which has resulted in increased use of plasticisers, boosting the benzoic acid market.

Another factor propelling the market for benzoic acid in the Asia Pacific is the considerable increase in demand for sodium and potassium benzoate in the region. In Asian countries, such as India, the animal feed sector is maturing, which is driving up the demand for benzoic acid. The stringent regulations of governments in the region and increasing number of small-scale food and beverage outlets are also contributing to the market growth of benzoic acid.

Over the forecast period, North America is expected to witness steady growth rate in the market for benzoic acid. Due to strict regulations of governments in the region, the substitution of benzoate plasticisers for phthalate plasticisers is likely to favour growth in this field. The growing demand for phthalate plasticisers is also expected to fuel the growth of the regional market for benzoic acid in the coming years.

Food and Beverage Segment to Lead the Benzoic Acid Market Growth

By end use, the food and beverages segment accounts for a major share of the overall market for benzoic acid. Ongoing urbanisation and changing lifestyles of the masses are factors leading to the increased demand for packaged food items. Benzoic acid, mostly in the form of sodium benzoate and potassium benzoate, is directly used as a food preservative in the food and beverages sector. Thus, an increase in packaged food sales is leading to the growth of the market for benzoic acid across the globe.

Market Segmentation

Benzoic acid is a carboxylic acid having various beneficial properties, including antibacterial and antifungal properties, which has led to its widespread use in a variety of applications. Commercially, it is made by partially oxidising toluene with oxygen.
