The Global Malonic Acid Market size is expected to reach $130.6 million by 2030, rising at a market growth of 2.8% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 16,983.9 tonnes, experiencing a growth of 1.9% (2019-2022).
Malonic acid derivatives contribute to the synthesis of plant growth regulators. Therefore, the agriculture segment acquired 17.5% revenue share in 2022. These regulators enhance or inhibit specific physiological processes in plants, promoting optimal growth and development. Certain its derivatives are used as soil conditioners in agriculture. They contribute to soil health by improving structure, water retention, and nutrient availability, leading to better crop growth.
Exploring renewable feedstocks helps reduce the industry's dependence on fossil fuels for its production. This shift contributes to mitigating the environmental impact associated with traditional chemical processes. Utilizing renewable feedstocks in its production typically results in a lower carbon footprint than processes relying on non-renewable resources.
Additionally, the ability of this to enhance the feel and spread ability of formulations makes it desirable to create cosmetic emulsions. As per the report by the National Library of Medicine updated in 2022, the ecologically based cosmetics industry is projected to reach $5.25 billion by 2029, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 5.18% from 2019 to 2029. The global cosmetics industry is approximately third in the sector with the fastest growth rate.
However, the ongoing operational costs of running its production plant, including energy consumption, maintenance, and labor, contribute to the overall production costs. Additionally, the cost and availability of raw materials used to synthesize it can impact its economic viability. The production processes for it can be energy-intensive, contributing to higher operational costs. Energy efficiency and the environmental impact of production processes are increasingly important considerations for manufacturers and consumers. Thus, production costs and process complexity can slow down the growth of the market.
