Global Propionic Acid Market Outlook

The global propionic acid market size reached approximately 476.39 KMT in 2023. The market is further projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.3% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a volume of by 638.07 KMT by 2032.

 

Key Trends in the Market

Propionic acid refers to naturally occurring carboxylic acid that has an unpleasant and pungent smell. It is readily absorbed through the skin as well as the gastrointestinal tract. The decomposition of various amino acids and oxidation of fatty acids containing odd number of carbon atoms, results in the formation of propionic acid.

 

  • The rising consumption of packaged foods owing to increasing lifestyle complexities and convenience offered by the products is bolstering the propionic acid market growth as the acid acts as a flavouring agent and preservative in different types of packaged foods. The usage of propionic acid as a preservative can be attributed to its antibacterial properties and the ability to prevent the growth of moulds.
  • The increasing prevalence of diseases and the expansion of the pharmaceutical sector is providing lucrative growth opportunities to the market. Profens, propionic acid derivative drugs, including ibuprofen, ketoprofen, naproxen, and flurbiprofen, act as analgesics and antipyretics, among others.
  • The rising requirement for feed due to increased consumption of livestock products including eggs, meat, and milk, among others is aiding the market expansion. Propionic acid ensures the safety and quality of the stored feed.
