Risk associated with health hazards as well as fluctuating raw material prices is expected to hinder the global butyric acid market growth in the near future. However, increasing the use of butyric acid in the production of biofuels can provide lucrative growth opportunities in the global butyric acid market in the near future. Among regions, Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth in the global butyric acid market. This is owing to improving healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies such as India and China. Furthermore, North America is expected to register a robust growth rate, owing to rapid growth of the pharmaceutical sector.

Key companies involved in the global butyric acid market are Beijing Huamaoyuan Fragrance Flavor Co. Ltd, Tokyo Chemical Industry Co. Ltd, Blue Marble Biomaterials, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Eastman Chemical Company, Snowco Industrial Co. Ltd, Merck KGaA, Shanghai Kayi Chemical Co. Ltd, Oxea GmbH, and Perstorp Holding AB.
