Market Overview:

According to a new report by IMIR Market Research on Global Itaconic Acid Market size was valued at around USD107.14 Million in 2023 and is expected to reach a value of USD 177.53 Million by 2031, at a CAGR of 6.8 % over the forecast period (2024–2031).

The growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products in a variety of industries, such as textiles, coatings, and resins, has led to the use of itaconic acid. It offers a competitive substitute for compounds made from petrochemicals as a bio-based platform chemical, in keeping with the global shift to green technology. Itaconic acid's numerous applications, such as acting as a precursor in the production of synthetic fibers and biopolymers, have also raised demand for the substance.

The substance's ability to enhance the performance characteristics of final goods, such as raising adhesion and tensile strength in coatings and adhesives, has also impacted their appeal. Additionally, producers of itaconic acid now have a favorable economic environment thanks to government regulations and policies that support bio-based products. As public awareness of environmental issues grows, firms are becoming more inclined to incorporate sustainable methods into their supply chains, which further drives up demand for itaconic acid.

Furthermore, variations in the availability of these feedstocks due to weather patterns, agricultural productivity, and demand from other industries may have an effect on the production of itaconic acid. Inaconic acid is rivaled by a number of synthetic and bio-based acids in different applications. In addition, increasing investments in research and development to create more inventive products will open up new avenues for the itaconic acid market to expand in the upcoming years. But in the near future, the development of low-cost production technologies may pose even more of a threat to the itaconic acid market's expansion.

The global itaconic acid market has been impacted by COVID-19 in both positive and negative ways. Lockdowns prevent travel to certain nations. Travel and company shutdowns may impede the economy and industries of rising nations. The pandemic-induced supply chain freeze and disruptions in raw material supplies resulted in slower growth for the worldwide itacenic acid market. Conversely, there is a rising expectation that the global need for itaconic acid would decline due to the increasing production of bio polylactic acid (PLA). The significant drop in the demand for consumer products hampered the growth of the itaconic acid market globally. Itaconic acid is used in the food industry to package goods. However, because of the pandemic, people are becoming more health concerned and consuming more natural foods like fruits and vegetables, which could hinder the growth of the worldwide itaconic acid market.
