Butyric Acid Market Scope and Segmentation  

Market Definition

Butyric acid, also referred to as butanoic acid, is a carboxylic acid that can form salts and esters with butanoates and butyrates. It is frequently discovered in the milk of farm animals such as buffalo, sheep, and goats. It has a foul odor and a bitter taste. Industrial butyric acid production involves fermenting starch or sugar with putrefying cheese added, then adding calcium carbonate to balance the acids produced during the process. Additionally, hogweed oil and parsnip contain octyl butyrate and hexyl butyrate, respectively, of this fermented butyric acid.

Butyric Acid Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Production of biofuels and bioplastics drives the market

The creation of bioplastics and biofuels. Butyric acid can be produced by fermenting renewable biomass sources such as sugar cane, corn, and lignocellulosic materials. This makes it a desirable feedstock for the production of biofuels, which are renewable and leave a smaller carbon footprint than traditional fossil fuels. Butyric acid is a key ingredient in the production of bioplastics, which can be composted or biodegraded and are derived from renewable biomass sources. Providing an alternative to traditional plastics is what fuels market expansion.

• Increasing use in medical field drives the market

Butyric acid can be used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. It has anti-inflammatory properties.
