Itaconic acid is an important chemical used in the chemical industry, owing to its various applications and benefits. It is basically a white crystalline powder that is bio-degradable, due to which, it is widely used as a substitute for various petro-derived chemicals as acrylic acid, acetone cyanohydrin, maleic anhydride, etc. Itaconic acid is used as a cross-linking agent owing to its ability to efficiently take part in addition polymerization.

Rising demand for itaconic acid primarily due to its use in production of unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) is a major factor driving growth of the global itaconic acid market. UPR is an integral resin used in manufacture of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, artificial stones, and laminating resins. In addition, growing demand for bio-based unsaturated polyester resin is another factor fueling demand for itaconic acid which in turn is boosting growth of the global itaconic acid market over the forecast period.

However, high costs associated with production of itaconic acid is a major factor restraining growth of the global itaconic acid market. Additionally, availability of substitutes of itaconic acid that can be used in various applications coupled with lack of proper technology that can be used for mass production of itaconic acid are other factors expected to hamper growth of the global itaconic market over the forecast period.

Currently, the market in Asia Pacific dominates the global itaconic market in revenue terms owing to growing demand for itaconic acid from various end use industries in the region. The market in Europe accounted for second-highest revenue share in the global itaconic market, due to increasing adoption of itaconic acid in various industries in countries in the region, followed by markets in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa respectively. The market in Asia Pacific is projected to witness fastest growth in terms of revenue, owing to rapid industrialization and increasing influx of foreign direct investment (FDI) in countries in the region.
