Among its many applications across numerous industries, propionic acid is used in the production of anti-inflammatory non-steroidal drugs and solvents in the pharmaceutical industry, which is further boosting the growth of the global propionic acid market. Additionally, rising demand for vitamin E for enhanced poultry feed and for the manufacture of hairsprays, skin creams and other personal care goods will open new growth avenues for propionic acid market.
However, environmental concerns regarding the role of herbicides in water and air pollution will slow the demand for propionic acid and hence hamper its global market. Additionally, human health concerns such as the possibility of genetic changes, skin problems, and tumors will restrain the propionic acid market globally.
“Increasing End-Use Applications to Drive Growth of Asia Pacific Propionic Acid Market”
In the regional geographical segmentation, the global propionic acid market is segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World (RoW). By volume, Europe is expected to be the largest market for propionic acid, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.1% between 2013 and 2019. Propionic acid is witnessing a strong surge in Europe due to the ban on antibiotics and other product applications.
