A crystalline carboxylic acid with antifungal and antibacterial qualities is benzoic acid. It is used in a variety of end-use industries, such as the food, beverage, and chemical industries. Among the fruits that naturally contain benzoic acid are plum, cranberry, and raspberry. The material is used as a food preservative in a number of culinary goods, including fruit juices, pickles, salad dressings, and soft drinks. As the demand for processed and convenience foods develops globally, it is expected that the food and beverage industries would require more benzoic acid.

Driving Factors- Benzoic acid is an organic molecule that is utilized extensively in daily life. The primary commercial production of benzoic acid occurs in labs through the restricted oxidation of toluene and oxygen. High yields of benzoic acid are produced and used in a variety of products. As previously mentioned, benzoic acid is utilized in a wide range of industries, including the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical sectors, as well as for numerous household and commercial applications. The market for benzoic acid is expanding due to the growing number of end users worldwide. Customers are gravitating toward food packaging as a result of hectic schedules and shifting lifestyle choices, yet the majority of packaged foods include significant amounts of preservatives.

Challenges- The benzoic acid industry is seriously threatened by stricter regulations, especially in food and beverage applications where concerns about potential health impacts are developing. As consumer demand for natural and organic products rises, natural preservatives like vinegar, citric acid, and rosemary extract are facing increased competition. These alternatives are well-liked due to their alleged safety and health benefits. Additionally, the market is unstable because to fluctuations in raw material prices, which are mostly derived from the petrochemical product toluene. Changes in the petrochemical industry's production capacity, geopolitical conflicts, and environmental regulations can all lead to supply chain disruptions, increased raw material costs, and a decline in profitability for benzoic acid producers.

Due to limitations and lockdowns, manufacturing activity slowed in the early stages of the pandemic, particularly in industries that frequently use benzoic acid, including as food and beverage, textiles, and pharmaceuticals. Consequently, the demand for the chemical decreased. The worldwide supply chain was also impacted by factory closures, delays in transportation, and raw material shortages, which increased costs and caused production delays.
