In addition, rising crude oil prices, adoption in newer industrial applications namely, 1,4-Butanediol (BDO), PBS, polyester polyols (polyurethane), and plasticizers will enable faster growth of the market.

Succinic acid is used as an intermediate chemical in industrial, food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals applications. The common source of succinic acid at industrial level was fossil fuel. However, petroleum based succinic acid shows a significant carbon footprint during manufacturing.

Bio-succinic acid is currently being adopted the most in non-industrial applications such as food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
