Also, rising demand for food preservatives due to swift growth of the global food and beverages industry is another major factor driving the global propionic acid market. Pharmaceutical industry is also a major application sector for the propionic acid market; rapid growth of this industry on a global front is also contributing to growth of the market.
The report segments the application areas of the global propionic acid market in four broad segments - Animal feed and grain preservatives, cellulose acetate propionate, calcium and sodium propionates, and other nominal application segments.
Animal feed and grain preservatives accounts for nearly half of the global propionic acid production. Demand for propionic acid from this application area acquired nearly 52.5% shares of the total global demand in 2012. A rapid growth in livestock farming is expected throughout the globe in the next few years which would increase demands for animal feed and growth preservatives. Owing to this, the global share of animal feed and grain preservatives sector could slightly increase. Sectors of calcium and sodium propionates currently account for the second largest demands for global propionic acid.
