Eco-friendly Nature Of Fermentation Chemicals To Drive Future Market Growth, According To New Report By Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Fermentation Chemicals markets. Global market for Fermentation Chemicals is projected to reach US$52.7 billion by 2017. Growth in the market remains bright, driven primarily by the eco-friendly nature of these chemicals.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) Follow us on LinkedIn - Fermentation process involves large scale cultivation of bacteria or fungi that transform renewable raw materials into chemicals. Key factors that advocate the use of fermentation process as compared to other processes include lesser consumption of solvents, reagents and power for manufacturing chemicals. Growth in the market for fermentation chemicals is favored by development of new products and applications. As the market comprises a wide range of chemicals with their usage spread across several industries, the effect of recession has been different across each segment. Though the enzyme market witnessed stable growth in recent years, the growth trend varied across the end-use markets. The segment witnessed erosion in sales across food and animal feed markets, while the detergent and technical enzymes markets witnessed marginal growth. Global ethanol market registered a decline owing to reduced demand and higher price as compared to gasoline, which resulted in cutback on discretionary blending of ethanol with gasoline fuel. In Brazil, the second largest producer of ethanol, the market suffered on account of tight credit supply, thereby affecting expansion plans.
As stated by the new market research report on Fermentation Chemicals, the US represents the largest market for Fermentation Chemicals, while Asia-Pacific and Latin America represent the fastest growing markets. With about 700 odd companies and hundreds of other small companies, China has become a major manufacturing hub for biotech industry that includes amino acids, methionine, citric acid, and various other fermentation chemicals. Among the segments analyzed, ethanol represents the fastest emerging fermentation chemical, replacing MTBE from the gasoline category. Eco-friendliness, cost-efficiency, and the ability to meet existing regulations are the major factors propelling the demand for ethanol. The global citric acid market is predominated by the US and Western Europe, with China emerging as a major consumer in recent years. Demand for vitamins continues to stem from the Food and Beverages industry. Future demand for industrial applications of lactic acid, its esters and salts are likely to emanate from lactate solvents and lactic acid based biodegradable polymers.
