Market Definition
Propionic acid (PA) is a colourless, corrosive carboxylic acid that occurs naturally. It is created through the chemical reaction of carbon monoxide and water and is composed of a short-chain saturated fatty acid attached to a carboxyl carbon. Propionic acid is liquid and can be commercially synthesized via fermentative, biosynthetic, and amino acid catabolic pathways. It is commonly used as a preservative and additive in packaged foods and animal feed to prevent microbial and fungal growth. It is also widely used in a variety of industries, including chemical, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
Propionic Acid Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Growth in the agricultural industry is creating a positive outlook for propionic acid market
Significant growth in the agriculture industry and rising global consumption of dairy, livestock, and poultry products is one of the key factors driving the market's positive outlook. As it aids in the reduction of microbial growth in stored grains, hay, poultry litter, and livestock water, propionic acid is widely used as an effective grain preservative.
- Changing trend of adopting natural preservatives
The rising demand for natural preservatives in ready-to-eat (RTE) and canned food products is also driving market expansion. The acid also extends the shelf life of cheese and baked goods. Acid esters are used as artificial flavourings or solvents as an alternative to chemical alternatives.
Opportunity
Other growth-inducing factors include the use of co-culture, metabolic and genetic engineering, immobilisation techniques, and bioreactor systems in the biological production of propionic acid through microorganisms and renewable biomass. Furthermore, rising food safety concerns and extensive biotechnology research and development (R&D) are expected to drive the market even further.
Restraints
The increasing environmental concerns over the period about the usage of herbicides is one of the major factors responsible for restraining the growth of this market. Another factor is the shortage of innovative ideas while offering products, which may hinder this industry's growth. The direct exposure to propionic acid has a variety of side effects, and a lack of production facilities is another factor that may limit the market's growth.

COVID-19 Impact on Propionic Acid Market
COVID-19 had a negative impact on the market in the first half of 2021. The growing consumer awareness of health consciousness has become a major factor impeding demand for food preservatives. Furthermore, as one of the major ingredients in food preservatives, propionic acid has experienced a marginal decline in demand, limiting market growth.
Recent Development
Afyren, a biotechnology startup, began construction on Afyren Neoxy, the first industrial-scale factory for green chemistry manufacture of organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, and hexanoic acid, in January 2021. Cosmetics, perfumes, flavours, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals will all benefit from this material.
