Global Formic Acid Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Formic acid, with the chemical formula HCOOH, is a simple carboxylic acid that occurs naturally in various organisms, particularly in the venom of certain ants. It is also commonly known as methanoic acid. In industrial settings, formic acid is produced synthetically and has diverse applications. It serves as a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed, a coagulant in the rubber industry, and a reducing agent in textile and dyeing processes. Formic acid is utilized as a cleaning agent and de-icing agent and finds applications in leather processing, electroplating, and the production of various chemicals. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor and is considered a strong acid. Safety precautions are necessary when handling formic acid due to its corrosive nature.
