Increasing Demand from End-Users Is Augmenting the Growth of the Global Synthetic & Bio-Based Adipic Acid Market
Synthetic & Bio-Based Adipic Acid Market Synthetic & Bio-based Adipic Acid Market, By Application (Nylon 6,6 fiber, Nylon 6,6 resin, Polyurethanes, Adipate esters, Others), and By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, MEA) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2020 - 2027. Market Overview: Adipic acid is a white crystalline compound with the chemical formula C6H10O4. It is a dicarboxylic acid, meaning it contains two carboxyl groups (COOH) attached to a central carbon chain. Adipic acid is an important industrial chemical primarily used as a raw material in the production of nylon 6,6. Adipic acid is traditionally produced through the oxidation of cyclohexane or cyclohexanol using nitric acid. However, there is an increasing focus on the production of bio-based adipic acid derived from renewable feedstocks, such as plant-based sugars or fatty acids, as a more sustainable alternative to petroleum-based adipic acid.
