Adipic Acid Market Insights, Size, Share, Opportunity Analysis, and Industry Forecast till 2025
Adipic acid or hexanedioic acid are organic compounds with molecular formula (CH2)4(COOH)2. Adipic acids are commercially formed by the reaction between cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol. High purity adipic acids are used in the manufacture of polyurethane. These are widely used in home furnishing applications such as bedding foam, furniture, and carpet underlays. These are widely used in cushioning materials to make furniture more comfortable and durable.

Burgeoning population growth in turn results in increasing infrastructure development activities, especially in countries such as India, China, and Brazil. This subsequently fuels demand for paints & coatings and wires & cables. Changing life style and increasing disposable income is surging the demand for convenience food, which in turn is propelling demand for nylon 6,6 resin in food packaging industry. Raw material price fluctuation coupled with high production cost of synthetic based adipic acid is expected to be the key challenge for market growth during the forecast period. Generation of harmful CO2 and toxic waste from adipic acid manufacturing unit, due to the use of petroleum based raw materials, has compelled the industry to shift in focus from synthetic towards bio based adipic acid. For instance, glucose is commonly used to produce bio based adipic acid. Whereas raw materials required to manufacture synthetic based adipic acid are petroleum and its derivatives, which require huge capital investment as compared to bio based adipic acid which in turn is expected to hinder the growth of synthetic based adipic acid market. For instance, on March 20, 2014, Rennovia Inc. and Johnson Matthey Davy Technologies Ltd. -collaborated to develop and commercialize the production technology for bio-based glucaric acid and adipic acid. Also, on February 27, 2015, Rennovia Inc. and Johnson Matthey Davy Technologies Ltd. Announced plans to co-develop
