Description

The size of the global benzoic acid market is expected to attain a value of USD 1.72 billion by 2028, growing at a 5.58% CAGR during the forecast period from USD 1.22 billion in 2021. This report discusses market research on the benzoic acid market, its market growth factors, and its challenges. The report also talks about the opportunities available to stakeholders, researchers, and potential investors for the benzoic acid market, discussing the recent changes due to the pandemic.

Benzoic Acid Market: Overview

The global benzoic acid market is growing in response to the rising global supply of processed foods and drinks. To prolong the shelf life of such items, benzoic acid is used. Because the capacity to create intended impact is dependent on the pH of food, benzoic acid is often used to preserve acidified food items such as pickles, effervescent beverages, and fruit juice.

Benzoic acid is used in a variety of sectors, including polymers, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and others. Animal feed, color compounds, and medicinal applications are all possible uses for benzoic acid. Athlete's feet, ringworm, tinea, and other fungal skin infections are treated with benzoic acid. As a disinfectant, benzoic acid is used extensively in the cosmetics industry. Benzoic acid is found in toothpaste, antiperspirants, mouth rinses, and other products.

COVID-19 Impact:

As a result of supply chain and logistics concerns, the COVID-19 crisis created multiple barriers for chemical makers. Several production plants were compelled to close or operate at smaller power, resulting in a lower production process. Several obstacles for the benzoic acid business may have arisen as a result of a worker shortage caused by regulatory limitations. Nevertheless, sales of processed products and drinks have remained stable, and in some cases have even increased, as a result of panic shopping by customers ahead of the lockdown restriction. Processed food sales continued to climb even during statewide lockdowns, when major retailers and outlets were compelled to close or function for restricted periods of time, since many customers in emerging nations shifted to internet purchasing channels.

During the outbreak, many customers switched from buying unbranded to buying branded packaged goods, resulting in higher purchases of snacks, savory meals, ready-to-cook meals, ramen, nutrient foods, and immunity-boosting items. The global benzoic acid market prediction must be bolstered by positive possibilities in the food and beverage industry, as well as the revival of the chemical and plasticizers sectors, through 2028 to help revive the industry.
