Succinic acid is an important platform chemical used widely in a wide range of industries. Until recently, the commercial scale production of succinic acid was petroleum-derived. But, now it can also be produced by using renewable feedstocks. The biological route to produce succinic acid is gaining popularity as it is seen as a renewable, cost competitive, and greener alternative to the petroleum derived succinic acid. Owing to the versatility, green nature, and cost competitiveness of the bio-based succinic acid, it is expected that the bio-based product will address a much larger market than the petroleum derived succinic acid.
This study estimates the global market size of succinic acid by the end of 2016. Europe is the most dominant market for succinic acid, accounting for 35% of the overall market in 2010. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing markets for succinic acid owing to significant demand from key markets such as China, Japan, and India.
We have used various secondary sources such as encyclopedia, directories, and databases to identify and collect information useful for this extensive commercial study of succinic acid. The primary sources – selected experts from related industries and selected suppliers have been interviewed to obtain and verify critical information as well as to assess the future prospects of succinic acid.
