Adipic Acid Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Adipic Acid Market is estimated to reach USD 7.43 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 4.10%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Adipic Acid Market, including market size and trends, product mix, distribution channels, and supplier analysis. Adipic acid is a white coloured crystalline organic acid that is primarily synthesized through the oxidation of a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone using nitric acid. It is composed of cyclohexane and finds extensive commercial applications. One of its main uses is as a raw material in the production of Nylon 6,6, which is a crucial polyamide in industrial settings. Traditionally, it has been manufactured using petroleum-derived products such as benzene, phenol, and cyclohexane. Adipic acid is available in different purity grades, with lower purity grades being employed in polyurethane manufacturing and higher purity grades being used for nylon production.
- May 2022: Lanxess and Advent reached an agreement to acquire the Engineering Materials business from DSM for approximately EUR 3.7 billion. As part of the deal, Lanxess will transfer its High Performance Materials business to a joint venture. In exchange, Lanxess will receive a payment of at least US$ 1.8 billion and a stake of up to 40 percent in the joint venture. Lanxess intends to use the proceeds from the transaction to reduce its debt and has plans for share buybacks. The joint venture will have an innovative product portfolio and a fully integrated value chain.
- August 2022: Toray, in partnership with Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and RIKEN, successfully developed a 100% bio-based adipic acid. This breakthrough holds significant implications for the production of sustainable PA66 (polyamide 66). By utilizing renewable feedstocks, the development of bio-based adipic acid offers a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-derived adipic acid. This advancement contributes to the pursuit of sustainable and eco-friendly manufacturing processes in the production of PA66.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
- Opportunities:
- Growing Demand: The adipic acid market is expanding as a result of the rising demand for nylon 6,6, one of the product types for which adipic acid is mostly used. This need is being fueled by the developing automobile, textile, and electrical industries.
- Transition to bio-based adipic acid: Opportunities for bio-based adipic acid have arisen as a result of growing environmental concerns and the push for sustainable production. The creation of bio-based substitutes utilising renewable feedstocks offers a sizable window of opportunity for industry expansion.
- Challenges:
- Price Volatility of Raw Materials: Market participants face a problem due to the price volatility of raw materials used in the manufacturing of adipic acid, such as benzene and cyclohexane. The entire manufacturing costs and profitability are impacted by these pricing changes.
- Environmental Issues: The manufacture of adipic acid consumes a lot of energy and produces greenhouse gas emissions. The industry has difficulties as a result of environmental legislation and mounting pressure to minimise carbon footprints, forcing the creation of more environmentally friendly production techniques.
