Key stakeholders of the global market report include suppliers, manufacturers, marketers, policy makers, and healthcare service providers engaged in global Isobutyric Acid products. Isobutyric acid is a branched fatty acid containing propanoic acid with a methyl branch at C-2. It is used as a plant metabolite, volatile oil component, and a Daphnia magna metabolite. Avery negligible amount of isobutyrate is produced through metabolism of microbes present in the gut. Small amounts may perhaps also be present in certain foods or fermented beverages.

Moreover, isobutyric acid finds a wide range of application in applications/uses as an agriculture intermediates, dyes / pigments / paints, food flavors & food fragrances, fragrance ingredients, herbicides - intermediate for other, intermediates, other food chemicals, pharmaceutical chemicals, protective coatings. These factors raises the demand for isobutyric acid thereby up surging the market growth. However, isobutyric acid is toxic when inhaled or exposed through skin. Contact with isobutyric acid can possibly aggravate and blister the skin and eyes. Inhalation of isobutyric acid can cause irritation to the nose, throat and lungs leading to cough, wheezing and/or shortness of breath. These factors can hamper the growth of market. The rising demand for isobutyric acid as a sweetner and flavoring agent is anticipated rise during the forecasted period. Furthermore, isobutyric acid possess a wide range of properties such as it is high solubility in ethanol, ether and organic solvents which are anticipated to upsurge its demand in various industries such as chemical intermediate and pharmaceuticals.

Isobutyric Acid Market Dynamics

Isobutyric acid finds a wide range of application in animal feed, chemical intermediate, food and flavors, pharmaceuticals, perfumes and others. Food and flavors segment is anticipated to lead the market. As a glyceride (an ester containing an acid and glycerol), it is present upto 3–4 percent in butter; the displeasing odour of rancid butter is due to the hydrolysis of the butyric acid glyceride. The acid holds a wide range of application in the commercial sector for the manufacturing of esters of lower alcohols for use as flavouring agents as a raw material; its anhydride is used to make cellulose butyrate which is a useful plastic. The rising demand for isobutyric acid as a sweetner and flavoring agent is anticipated rise during the forecasted period. Furthermore, isobutyric acid possess a wide range of properties such as it is high solubility in ethanol, ether and organic solvents which are anticipated to upsurge its demand in various industries such as chemical intermediate and pharmaceuticals.
