Alpha, omega-dicarboxylic acid is produced when the methyl groups of butane are oxidized to the carboxyl group. Petro-based SA is composed of this acid. The bio-based variant is produced through the fermentation of carbohydrates. The substantial carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are a primary concern for regulatory bodies in numerous developed nations. As a consequence, consumer preferences have shifted toward products derived from organic and bio-based sources. The environmental friendliness of bio-succinic acid is anticipated to contribute positively to the expansion of this market in the coming years. Numerous multinational corporations attempt to gain a competitive edge through capacity expansions, partnerships, joint ventures, and a robust product portfolio and distribution network, among other business strategies. As a result, the market is extremely competitive.
It finds extensive use in the food and beverage sector as an acidity regulator and flavor enhancer. Its inclusion in various food products, such as confectionery, beverages, and baked goods, contributes to flavor stability and shelf-life extension. The pharmaceutical sector utilizes succinic acid in the formulation of drugs and medicines. Its compatibility with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and its role as a pH regulator make it a valuable component in pharmaceutical formulations. It serves as a building block for synthesizing biodegradable polymers and resins. Polybutylene succinate (PBS) and polybutylene succinate-co-adipate (PBSA) are examples of biopolymers derived from succinic acid, offering sustainable alternatives to traditional petroleum-based plastics.
Germany has stringent environmental regulations and standards, encouraging the coatings industry to adopt sustainable practices.
