Food Grade Butyric Acid Market Size

Food Grade Butyric Acid Market size is predicted to reach USD 1.12 Billion by the end of 2036, growing at a CAGR of 15% during the forecast period, i.e., 2024- 2036. In the year 2023, the industry size of food-grade butyric acid was over USD 210 Million. Growing urbanization and population growth have increased the demand for processed food products. The global consumption of processed foods accounted for 30 to 60 % of a person's daily energy intake, as analyzed by Research Nester analysts.

In the food processing business, food-grade butyric acid is frequently used as an acidulant, flavoring, and preservative. It is well-recognized that butyric acid helps with weight management and enhances intestinal health, among other health benefits. The demand for food products containing butyric acid is expected to rise as consumers get more health-conscious.

Furthermore, laws have been enacted by governments everywhere to raise the standard and safety of food goods. The fact that most nations have allowed food additives such as food-grade butyric acid has led to an increase in its use in the food business.

The WTO serves as a platform for the negotiation of new rules and the provision of a set of norms for multilateral commerce. Given that standards are crucial for facilitating commerce, the WTO Agreements firmly urge nations to standardize their regulations by global norms. The WTO's Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Measures and Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) both rely on Codex standards in the domain of food safety and quality because they establish them as the basis for harmonization.
