Global Malonic Acid Market is valued at approximately USD 108.1 million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 2.9% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Malonic acid, also known as propanedioic acid, is a dicarboxylic organic acid with the chemical formula C₃H₄O₄. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. Malonic acid is widely used in various chemical processes, particularly as a starting material or building block for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. It has two carboxylic acid groups that make it versatile for chemical reactions, including esterification, condensation, and decarboxylation reactions. The pharmaceutical industry plays a pivotal role in driving growth as it heavily relies on malonic acid as a crucial starting ingredient for synthesizing numerous medicines and drug intermediates. Additionally, Malonic acid is widely used in the food and beverage industry as an acidulant and flavoring component, which is projected to significantly boost demand for it over the forecast period. Furthermore, the rising focus on sustainable and eco-friendly chemical processes further drives the demand for malonic acid due to its environmentally friendly properties.
The demand for malonic acid is increasing as a result of the malonic acid expanding use in the agricultural sector, where it serves as a precursor for the creation of a variety of fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, in 2020, the overall number of pesticides traded grew by 30%. Traded disinfectants, which increased from 4.0 to 8.7 million tons from 2019 to 2020In response to the growing demand from various sectors, key market participants are actively involved in implementing sustainable production methods, undertaking expansion initiatives, and conducting development activities for malonic acid. Manufacturers can capitalize on the rising demand by prioritizing the establishment of production methods that are environmentally friendly and sustainable.. However, the market faces challenges including a shortage of substitute raw resources, environmental issues, and unpredictability in raw material costs throughout the forecast period 2023-2030.
