North America Butyric Acid Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2030

North America Butyric Acid Market Analysis and Size

Butyric acid is one of many short-chain fatty acids that are frequently used in the food, animal feed, and pharmaceutical industries. It is also used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of many chemicals, including esters, butanol, and butyl acetate. Animal feed is increasingly using butyric acid as a component. The primary feedstock for various butyrate salts and glycerine esters, also known as butyrins, is butyric acid. Animals require butyric acid to maintain their health, and it is used to help animals do so. Butyric acid serves the animal feed industry well because the right kind of feed is required to give animals ingredients that are nutritious. Products containing butyric acid contribute to better health, a balanced diet for animals, and increased animal production.

North America 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.

North America Butyric Acid Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Production of biofuels and bioplastics drives the market

the production of biofuels and bioplastics. Renewable biomass sources, including sugar cane, corn, and lignocellulosic materials, can be fermented to produce butyric acid. For the production of biofuels, which are renewable and have a lower carbon footprint than conventional fossil fuels, this makes it an ideal feedstock. A vital component in the creation of compostable or biodegradable bioplastics made from renewable biomass sources is butyric acid. Offering a substitute for conventional plastics is what drives market expansion.

• Growing 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. Butyric acid is being studied as a potential treatment for infections that are resistant to antibiotics because it has been demonstrated to have antibacterial properties. Butyric acid can be used to control gene expression and treat genetic disorders because it inhibits histone deacetylase and hence drives the market growth.

Opportunities

• Food and beverage industry creates expansion in the market

Butyric acid is a preservative and flavoring substance used in the food and beverage industry. W the growing demand for natural and organic products, butyric acid has a growing market potential as a natural preservative and flavoring agent. Baking goods, dairy products, and confectionery are a few of the foods that butyric acid is used to flavor. It tastes strongly of butter. Additionally, butyric acid is used in the processing of meat to improve the texture and tenderness of the meat. By enhancing the flavor of processed meats such as sausage and ham, it can also benefit the market.

• Expansion of anti-inflammatory properties creates lucrative opportunities

Butyric acid's anti-inflammatory properties can help to lessen irritation, redness, and inflammation of the skin. By preventing the skin from releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines and other inflammatory mediators, it reduces the inflammatory response. In skin care products for sensitive or inflamed skin, such as skin that is prone to acne or rosacea, it therefore works well. The versatile substance butyric acid has many uses in skin care. Through, its hydrating and anti-inflammatory qualities, it is a popular ingredient in skin care products.

Restraints/Challenges

• Odour arising from acids can imoede the market growth

Some plant oils and animal fats contain the naturally occurring fatty acid butyric acid. The overwhelming smell of butyric acid is the main issue. It has a rancid odor that is overtly offensive and that can linger. Problems may arise in the locations where it is produced or stored as a result of this. Some people might find the taste and odor of butyric acid repulsive. As a result, it might be challenging to use in some applications, such as products for food and drink.

• Irritating to the skin and eyes restricts the market growth

Although butyric acid can cause skin and eye irritation, this is not likely to stop its increased use. Many industries, including the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and agricultural ones, use butyric acid extensively. The development of the compound is more likely to be constrained by other elements, such as butyric acid's poor stability, low solubility, and unpleasant flavor and odor. These qualities might make it less appealing to consumers and, in some cases, more challenging to use.
