Global Long Chain Dicarboxylic Acid Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global long chain dicarboxylic acid market

The synthesis of long-chain dicarboxylic acid (LCDA) is carried out by eco-friendly routes offered by biotechnology. Also, manufacturers are focusing on the production of a high quantity of LCDA through biochemical routes using recent technological developments and advanced methods. This in turn, helps manufacturers to produce polyamides, lubricants, powder coatings, and others. Technavio’s market research report identifies that the biodegradability property of LCDA will be one of the primary growth drivers for the global long chain dicarboxylic acid market till 2021. The demand for LCDA is increasing in developed and emerging economies like the US, China, Germany, France, and India due to the increasing interest from vendors and rising awareness about the benefits of LCDA based products. This will boost the adoption of LCDA over other dicarboxylic acids that are prepared through synthetic routes. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 7% by 2021.

The applications of LCDA have low environmental impacts as they are biodegradable. This drives its adoption rate in solvents. The growing demand for LCDA as bio-solvents is witnessed as one of the key trends in the global long chain dicarboxylic acid market. This in turn, motivates manufacturers to replace volatile organic solvents during the production of paint strippers, inks, coatings, agricultural chemicals, and adhesives. LCDA as solvent is extensively used in paint industries because it offers high solubility, evaporation rate, and no odor.
