The SNS Insider report indicates that the Butyric Acid Market size was valued at USD 321 million in 2022. It is estimated to hit USD 644.32 million by 2030 and grow at a CAGR of 9.1% over the forecast period of 2023-2030. The growing demand for renewable butyric acid in the food flavor pharmaceuticals sectors, an upsurge in the number of consumers of meat, and a ban on the consumption of antibiotics in animal feed in some countries drive the butyric acid market. The butyric acid market is witnessing significant growth, fueled by its versatile applications across various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, and chemicals. Butyric acid, a four-carbon organic acid with a distinct odor, is primarily derived from natural sources such as animal fats and oils or through chemical synthesis from petrochemicals. Its unique properties, including its role as a flavoring agent, preservative, and precursor for various chemicals, make it an essential ingredient in a wide range of products.

One notable trend driving the butyric acid market is the increasing demand for animal feed additives and supplements to enhance livestock health and productivity. Butyric acid is widely used as a feed additive in poultry and swine diets due to its ability to improve gut health, reduce intestinal inflammation, and enhance nutrient absorption. With the growing focus on animal welfare, disease prevention, and antibiotic alternatives in livestock production, there is a rising demand for natural and effective feed additives like butyric acid to support animal health and optimize feed efficiency.

Moreover, the butyric acid market is experiencing growing demand from the pharmaceutical industry, where it is used in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical intermediates, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and drug formulations. Butyric acid and its derivatives have shown promising potential in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, cancer, and metabolic diseases due to their anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and lipid-lowering properties. As research into butyric acid's therapeutic benefits expands and new applications emerge, the demand for pharmaceutical-grade butyric acid is expected to increase, driving market growth and innovation.

Market Report Scope:

The rise in animal feed demand, ban on antibiotics, and focus on renewable butyric acid for food and pharmaceuticals drive butyric acid market growth. The pharmaceutical industry's growth, especially in weight management and cancer treatment, further boosts the butyric acid market.

Market Analysis:

The main drivers of the butyric acid market include increasing demand from various end-user sectors and the prohibition of antibiotic usage in animal feed in some nations. The unpleasant odor of butyric acid poses a challenge, but the rising demand for renewable butyric acid in the food and flavor industries creates a significant market opportunity. As meat consumption grows, so does butyric acid production. The market is also influenced by the prevalence of animal diseases, particularly in regions with low per capita meat consumption like Asia. The strict regulations on antibiotics open up opportunities for butyric acid in animal feed.
