According to the research reports by MRFR, the global market for bio-based succinic acid is estimated to flourish at a healthy CAGR of 19.6% during the review timeframe. The report further predicts the market to attain USD 900 million by the end of during the forecast period. In general, succinic acid is primarily produced using the C4-fraction of naphtha and using a four-carbon hydrocarbon via maleic anhydride. The succinic acid is obtained by hydrogenation of hydration afterward and maleic anhydride. The eco-friendly succinic acid is extensively used in making coatings, resins, and ink.
The growing global pollution and rising carbon footprint are projected to drive the growth of the Bio-Based Succinic Acid market. Many geographical locations are part of this global market, which includes North America, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia Pacific, and others. Of these, the North American regional market is projected to generate the largest market share in the forecast timeframe.
The global market for Bio-Based Succinic Acid has been segmented based on the application, end-use industry, and processed type. Further, the end-use industry has been segmented into food & beverage, personal care, pharmaceutical, agriculture, and chemical. The processed type segment is divided into different parts like the direct crystallization process, electrodialysis process, and ammonium sulphate process. The application segment is classified into different parts like 1, 4 Butanediol, solvents & coatings, Plasticizers, polymers & esters, Polybutylene Succinate, and others.

The global bio-based succinic acid market has been segmented on the basis of processed type, application, end-use industry, and region.
Based on processed type, the global bio-based succinic acid market has been divided into ammonium sulfate process, direct crystallization process, and electrodialysis process.
By application, the global bio-based succinic acid has been categorized into 1, 4 butanediol, polybutylene succinate, plasticizers, polyester polyols, polymers & esters, solvents & coatings, and other applications.
By end-use industry, the global bio-based succinic acid has been segregated into chemical, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, personal care, and agriculture.
The global bio-based succinic acid market has been spanned across five regions, namely Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.
The North American market held the largest share of the global bio-based succinic acid market in 2018. The growing use of bio-based succinic acid in chemical and pharmaceutical industries is driving the growth of the bio-based succinic acid market in the region. The regional market is expected to continue the dominance during the forecast period.
The Asia-Pacific market for bio-based succinic acid was the fastest growing and held the second-largest share in 2018. The increasing demand in the pharmaceutical, automotive, and agricultural industries in India, China, Thailand, and South Korea is expected to fuel the growth of the bio-based succinic acid market in the region. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the dominant regional market by the end of the forecast period.
The European market closely followed Asia-Pacific in terms of market share in 2018. The increasing use of bio-based succinic acid in food & beverage and personal care industries is expected to be the major factor contributing to the growth of the bio-based succinic acid market in the region. The European market is expected to witness considerable growth during the forecast period.
The Latin American market is projected to record moderate growth during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the rising environmental concerns and shift towards the use of bio-based succinic acid by chemical industries in the region.
The Middle East & African market for bio-based succinic acid is expected to witness sluggish growth during the forecast period, due to the large presence of petroleum industries and high dependence of manufacturers on petroleum for the production of succinic acid.
