Market Overview
Levulinic acid is an organic acid that is a product of cellulose degradation. It is produced from manure, brewery waste, and biomass waste. It is also produced from furfuryl alcohol acidic hydrolysis and ketones oxidation. The continuous research in the chemical industries is leading to the development of Levulinic acid.
The Levulinic Acid Market Size is receiving great demand from the end-use industries. This factor is raising the need for acid at an affordable cost with versatile features. The technological development in the research activities to develop the chemical properties to meet the end-users demand is driving the market. The latest practice for the direct product of the levulinic acid from biomass waste is developing the product quality. The manufacturer’s efforts in the production of cost reduction will increase the demand for levulinic acid in the future years. The by-products of the acid-like levulin esters and oligomers are highly adopted as transportation fuels which is a key driving factor of the Levulinic Acid Market. The levulinic acid market size was valued at USD 0.08 billion in 2022. The levulinic acid industry is projected to grow from USD 0.083 billion in 2023 to USD 0.12 billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.30% during the forecast period (2023 – 2032).
Slower technological development is not able to meet the growth, which is challenging the market. The key industrial players’ development and efforts with strategies for advanced chemical launch with enhanced property will limit the challenges. Other factors favoring the market’s growth, such as the automotive industries, flourishing construction along with research and development activities in chemistry and biotechnology, are accelerating the market’s growth in the forecast period.
Levulinic Acid Market is projected to be worth USD 93.69 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.30% during the forecast period (2021 – 2030).
