Butyric acid is an organic compound and one of the carboxylic acids which is largely obtained from propylene by employing various processes, for example, Oxo-synthesis. Butyric acid is a volatile fatty acid that can be used as a flavoring agent. It has a fruity or cheesy flavor and is mainly found in dairy products.
Salts and esters of butyric acid are known as butyrates or butanoates. Butyric acid is found in animal fat and plant oils, bovine milk, breast milk, butter, parmesan cheese, and as a product of anaerobic fermentation (including in the colon and as body odor).
The global butyric acid market is witnessing growth owing to the increasing demand from its applications, such as animal feed, chemical intermediate, food & Flavors, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, and others.
Butyric acid is considered the most efficient energy source for intestinal cells, causing it to become a major raw material for animal feeds, especially for poultry and swine.
The animal feed segment is projected to be the fastest-growing end-user application of the butyric acid market during the forecast period. The second biggest application segment is the chemicals intermediate segment.
The synthetic butyric acid segment is the most popular type in the butyric acid market. In poultry and swine, reduced usage of antibiotics in animal feed and a preference for synthetic butyric acid in food & flavor and pharmaceutical sectors.
The major driver in the market is rising demand from various end-user industries and a ban on the consumption of antibiotics in animal feed in some countries.
The Asia Pacific is the largest and fastest growing market. India and China are the two major countries for market growth. Due to the rising demand for meat, and food & flavours, increasing concerns for animal care.
The future growth of the industry would be increased by the investments in animal feed and chemical industry in Asia-Pacific and North America.
