The global itaconic acid market Growth Accelerated by Wide Range of Industrial Applications
Itaconic acid is an organic compound produced by
fermentation of carbohydrates like glucose, starch, and cellulosic biomass
using filamentous fungi. It finds wide applications as a substitute for
petroleum-based acrylic acid in production of specialty resins, plasticizers,
synthetic latex, and superabsorbent polymers. Itaconic acid also acts as a
building block for various chemicals and polymers.
The global itaconic acid market is estimated to be valued at
US$ 134.1 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.1% over the
forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by
Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The growth of the global itaconic acid market is primarily driven by increasing
demand from construction and automotive industries. Itaconic acid serves as an
organic building block for synthesis of resins, plasticizers, and
superabsorbent polymers extensively used in cement, concrete, paints &
coatings, and auto parts manufacturing. Itaconic acid-based polymers exhibit
excellent properties like high tensile strength, flexibility and transparency,
thereby finding increased applications as an eco-friendly substitute for
conventional petrochemical-based polymers. The ability of itaconic acid to act
as a co-monomer also helps enhance functionality and performance of numerous
specialty polymers. These factors are expected to accelerate the demand for
itaconic acid during the forecast period.
Segment Analysis
The global itaconic acid market is dominated by polyitaconic acid segment which
holds around 70% of the total market share. Polyitaconic acid has wide
applications in water treatment chemicals sector as it acts as a excellent
sequestrant by chelating metal ions and inhibits mineral scale deposition. It
is also used as a dispersing agent. Higher demand from end use industries such
as construction chemicals and homecare products is driving the polyitaconic
acid segment.
