Levulinic Acid Market is expected to grow CAGR 4.30% during the forecast period. Levulinic acid is an organic compound that is obtained from cellulose degradation. It is also called Keto acid and is produced from brewery waste, manure, and biomass waste. Levulinic acid is considered a petroleum-based product replacement. Also, levulinic acid is being produced by furfuryl alcohol acidic hydrolysis and by the oxidation of ketones. The development of bio-based levulinic acid is increasing with the increasing research and development activities in various chemical industries. Accordingly, the levulinic acid market is growing its demand and bringing major opportunities for the market.
Levulinic acid has been segmented into technology, end-users, and application. The global levulinic acid market is classified into agriculture, food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics & personal care if looking into the end-user industries segment. Out of the entire application segment, the plasticizers segment is predicted to increase the growth of the global market during the forecast years, and it is considered to lead the global market. This segment is increasing its demand across various regions due to the levulinic acid use to increase flexibility in plastics or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). During the forecast year, agriculture and pharmaceutical segments are predicted to increase the levulinic acid market size at a 4.30% CAGR. Along with that, the global market is driving its growth due to the increasing phthalate plasticizers replacement by levulinic acid in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production. Moreover, the increasing application of PVC in the automobile and construction field is boosting up the global levulinic acid market growth. Also, the global market is growing its demand due to the increasing application of levulinic acid in biofuel, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals production. It has also been found that levulinic acid is widely used as food additives and also used in cigarettes to intensify the nicotine content.
The global levulinic acid market report has focused on the overall growth of the global market and recent ongoing research and development in various regions. This report has highlighted the market dynamics, market segmentation, competitive analysis, regional analysis, COVID-19 analysis, and other factors to understand its challenges, growth, opportunities, competitions, restraints, supply chain, and global market demands. It has been found that the global market is presently performing well and expected to generate a higher levulinic acid market size in the forecast period.
