Global Heptanoic Acid Market- Overview, Statistics and Top Key Players, 2024-2030

July 30, 2021

Heptanoic acid is a vital organic element for the synthesis of a range of chemical compounds. Led by the high anti-corrosive profile of heptanoic acid and its exceptional performance at high and low thermal surroundings, it is widely employed in the form of esters for lubricants in industries such as automobile, aviation, refrigeration, and air-conditioning.
Heptanoic acid is also used for gas chromatography analysis of volatile acids. It is employed in the preparation of pharmaceutical ingredients; and esterification of steroids.
Heptanoic acid is a highly efficient corrosion inhibitor that protects iron, copper, zinc, and aluminum. When used as a salt derivative (sodium heptanoate), it exhibits good stability in hard water and inhibits calcium precipitation.

Heptanoic acid possesses properties such as high thermal stability, good resistance to oxidation, low viscosity at low temperature, and low volatility at high temperature. Therefore, it is a first choice for lubricant applications.
Rise in in demand for metalworking fluids is likely to propel the demand for heptanoic acid in the next few years, as it offers strong anti-corrosive properties
Of late, demand for specialty lubricants has been rising owing to trends such as increase in construction activities, industrialization in emerging economies, and subsequent rise in demand for highly advanced equipment. Specialty lubricants is likely to be a lucrative area for the heptanoic acid market by 2030.
Demand for heptanoic acid is expected to be steady as a flavoring agent in the cosmetics & personal care industry by 2030
Stringent environmental regulations associated with the use of lubricants is projected to be a key factor limiting the demand for heptanoic acid during the forecast period

The global chemicals industry is expected to suffer more than other manufacturing sectors post the coronavirus pandemic, owing to the rise in prices of feedstock and poor demand
The global spread of the COVID-19 has substantially disrupted supply chains in the global heptanoic acid market. Low production rates, stockpiled inventory issues, and decreased labor availability are likely to be significant supply-side factors hampering the heptanoic acid market in the immediate future. Weakened consumer sentiment is likely to hinder the global demand for heptanoic acid at least by 2024.
