Global Adipic Acid Market to Surpass US 7107.6 million by 2026
Adipic acid,
also known as hexanedioic acid, is an organic compound. It is a significant
monomer used in the polymer industry. Adipic acid is commercially produced by
oxidising cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol, also known as ketone-alcohol oil (KA
oil), with nitric acid. Adipic acid is the primary raw material used in the
production of nylon 66 and other polymeric fibres. It is widely used in the
food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Furthermore, it is in high
demand in the manufacture of polyurethanes and plasticizers.
The global
adipic acid market volume is expected to grow from nearly 3,920.6 kilotons in
2018 to 4,535.9 kilotons by 2023, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of
3.0 per cent from 2018 to 2023. -
The rapid
industrialization and increasing applications of artificial polymers in various
industries have resulted in the global expansion of the adipic acid market. A
large portion of the total adipic acid produced worldwide is used to make
nylon. Nylon is produced industrially by reacting adipic acid with
hexamethylene diamine. The
growing number of nylon applications in various industries is expected to drive
up demand for adipic acid in the near future. Today, major corporations are
focusing on producing high-quality, strong, and long-lasting fibres that can
withstand harsh conditions. Adipic acid is also used as a flavouring agent and
a gelling agent in the food and beverage industries. It is also used in several
pharmaceutical tablets to maintain the controlled release of acidic or basic
drug compounds. However, fluctuating raw material prices and stringent
regulations on environmental impacts caused by adipic acid production,
particularly the emission of nitrous oxide, may act as market restraints.

| Adipic acid Market by Region |
With high
consumption of adipic acid in the manufacture of composite materials and
nylons, applied in industries such as textile, electronics, and others in
emerging economies such as India and China, the Asia-Pacific region holds a significant share of the global adipic acid market.
Analysis of the COVID-19 scenario of Adipic Acid Market :
The COVID-19
pandemic has affected every aspect of the global market, including the adipic
acid market.
Because of
the economic slowdown caused by the pandemic, the use of nylon and nylon-based
products, particularly in the automobile industry, has declined significantly.
As a result, demand for adipic acid in the market for the manufacture of nylon
decreased.
The
nationwide lockdowns and restrictions on export-import activities have had a
significant impact on the global adipic acid market's supply chains and operations.
On the other
hand, due to the high demand for drugs during the pandemic, the use of adipic
acid in the pharmaceutical industry increased. This has resulted in an increase
in market demand for adipic acid.
