Formic Acid Global Market – Overview
Formic Acid market is surging
exponentially mainly due to its increasing application as preservatives,
pesticides, cleaning agents like detergents and in leather production.
Owing to its antibacterial properties, formic acid is extensively used in
food products as a preservative & in agriculture industry it is used as a
pesticide. Owing to which agriculture industry is considered as the largest
user of the Formic Acid worldwide. This acid is also used on fodders &
animal feed to increase its nutritional value.
In addition, this versatile
chemical finds its usage in many industrial application such as in rubber
manufacturing & leather production. Owing to its high pH regulating quality
and high absorbing capability; this chemical is used during the leather
production. While, owing to its coagulating quality, the chemical is used in
rubber manufacturing processes. Similarly it is also used in textile industry
for dyeing and finishing processes.

Attributing to the wide uptake
& a range of application industries; the market of Formic Acid enjoys a
great market traction on the global platform. Furthermore factors such as
changing life style of people has fueled the textile business extensively,
therefore increasing the use of this acid for dying & finishing of fabric.
Escalating standard of living has increased the consumption of meat which is
resultantly driving the demand of animal feed further driving the demand of
Formic Acid. These factors presage the galore accruals this market will be
witnessing soon.
Recognizing the potential of the
market to grow further in the years to come, Market Research Future (MRFR) has
published a detailed study report giving out the market forecast for the period
2017 – 2023. In its analysis, MRFR asserts that the global Formic Acid market
is expected to reach up to USD 878.7 million by 2027 growing at 4.94% CAGR
during review period of 2017-2027. The market had captured a value of USD 516.9
million in 2016.
In addition, factors that propel
the market growth include; changing lifestyle, improved economy & growing
population. Augmenting industrialization & urbanization are also
predominant factors driving the market growth. Furthermore, use of
antibiotics in animal feedstock is prohibited in some of the developed regions
such as North America & & Europe is expected to drive the demand of
formic acid over the review period.
On the other hand, changing
climatic conditions in some regions, are negatively impacting application
industries like preservatives, animal feed, leather & rubber industry of
formic acid, resultantly, hampering the market growth during the review period.
Moreover, higher toxicity levels in higher grades of formic acid are also
anticipated to restrict the market growth. Nevertheless, product diversification
and technological advancements in feed additive will provide substantial
opportunities to market players. Which will in turn, drive the market growth.
