Global Synthetic & Bio-based Adipic Acid Market was valued at US$ 9.79 Billion in 2022, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.5% in terms of revenue, over the forecast period (2023 to 2030) to reach US$ 15.04 Billion by 2030. Adipic acid is an important raw material used in the production of industrial fiber such as Nylon 6.6. Adipic acid is basically produced by using various raw materials such as cyclohexane, benzene, and phenol. The lower purity grade of adipic acid is used to produce polyurethane whereas the high purity grade is used to produce nylon. Adipic acid is a chemical compound that appears white crystalline organic acid that contains six carbon atoms and two carboxylate groups. It is mainly used as a key raw material for the manufacturing of nylon 6.6. Automotive, medical, food, packaging & consumer goods, construction, electrical & electronics, and furniture are some of the major end-user of adipic acid.

Global Synthetic & Bio-based Adipic Acid Market

The recent outbreak of coronavirus had a negative impact on the adipic acid market because of the  profitable slowdown caused by the pandemic, the use of nylon and nylon- grounded products, particularly in the  machine industry, has declined significantly. As a result, demand for adipic acid in the market for the manufacture of nylon dropped. The civil lockdowns and restrictions on export- import activities have significantly impacted 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 redounded in an increase in market demand for adipic acid.
