Succinic acid (SA), also called butanedioic acid, is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid found in various living organisms. It is a pivotal intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, playing a crucial role in cellular metabolism. Chemically, it is a colorless crystalline solid with a slightly acidic taste, making it a valuable component in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In recent years, succinic acid has garnered attention as a platform chemical due to its potential in producing bio-based materials and polymers.
Moreover, it is increasingly utilized in pharmaceutical, construction, and infrastructure development, contributing to the expansion. It is manufactured using bio-based and petroleum-based materials. It is expected that the growing preference for succinic acid over butane-based maleic anhydride in the production of chemicals traditionally manufactured from butane, including succinic anhydride, plastics, diethylmaleate, polymers, fumaric, and glyoxylic acid, will have a positive impact on market growth.
According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) report updated in 2021, Japan's cosmetics and personal care industry was valued at approximately $35 billion in 2019. Skincare products are used by 53% of the Japanese cosmetics industry. It can be a natural additive in various cosmetics, contributing to product stability and performance. Its use aligns with the trend towards clean beauty and the demand for cosmetics with minimal synthetic additives. Due to the aforementioned factors the market growth will drive in this region.
