Food Grade Acetic Acid Market Segment Analysis - by Fermentation Type

The Food Grade Acetic Acid Market, based on fermentation type, can be further segmented into Aerobic Fermentation, Anaerobic Fermentation and Others. The Aerobic Fermentation Segment held the largest share of the Food Grade Acetic Acid market in 2021. This growth is due to the soaring application of aerobic fermentation in the microbial oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid. Aerobic fermentation is principally performed by the yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and secondly by the bacteria (Acetobacter aceti). The vital role of Gluconobacter in oxidizing ethanol to acetic acid is further propelling the growth of the Aerobic Fermentation segment.

Furthermore, the Anaerobic Fermentation segment is estimated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period 2022-2027 due to the soaring performance of anaerobic fermentation by clostridium sp. of bacteria in the absence of oxygen.

Food Grade Acetic Acid Market Segment Analysis - by Application

The Food Grade Acetic Acid Market, based on the application, can be further segmented into Household, Commercial and Others. The Commercial Segment held the largest share of the Food Grade Acetic Acid market in 2021. This growth is fueled by the growing application of food grade acetic acid in commercial pickling operations and condiments like mustard and ketchup in the food industry. The reaction of vinegar with alkaline chemicals like baking soda discharges a gas that helps in puffing up baked goods. This is further propelling the growth of this segment. Furthermore, the Household segment is estimated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period 2022-2027 due to the snowballing application of Food Grade Acetic Acid in household applications like being a food constituent in mustard and as a food additive.

Food Grade Acetic Acid Market Segment Analysis - by Geography

Asia-Pacific (Food Grade Acetic Acid Market) dominated the Food Grade Acetic Acid market with a 35% share of the overall market in 2021. The growth of this region is driven by soaring health awareness among consumers in Asia-Pacific. The rising inclination towards premium products is further propelling the growth of the Food Grade Acetic Acid Industry, thereby contributing to the Food Grade Acetic Acid Industry Outlook, in the Asia-Pacific region.

Furthermore, the North American region is estimated to be the region with the fastest CAGR over the forecast period 2022-2027. This growth is driven by factors like the surging application of aerobic fermentation in household applications in the North American region. The expanding application of food grade acetic acid in the U.S. is further fueling the progress of the Food Grade Acetic Acid Market in the North American region.

Food Grade Acetic Acid Market Drivers

Surging Significance of Fermentation in the Biological Technique of Acetic Acid Production:

The biological technique is typically engaged for the commercial production of acetic acid by way of microorganisms like yeasts and bacteria. The fermentation of acetic acid may be anaerobic fermentation or aerobic fermentation. The anaerobic fermentation is performed utilizing Clostridium sp. of bacteria (in the absence of oxygen). Aerobic fermentation is principally performed by yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and secondly by bacteria (Acetobacter aceti). Currently, greater-yielding strains are engaged in vinegar fermentation which is able to yield 13-14% of acetic acid. The surging significance of fermentation in the biological technique of acetic acid production is therefore fueling the growth of the Food Grade Acetic Acid Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Soaring Versatility of Food Grade Acetic Acid:

Food grade acetic acid is a versatile constituent for food and beverage producers. Food grade acetic acid provides great preservative characteristics for pickling. It is also repeatedly discovered in typical household condiments from balsamic vinegar to mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup. Acetic acid is discovered in balsamic glazes, sauces and dressings. Acetic Acid Food Grade is extensively approved for use as a food additive. The price of 15-49 metric tons of food grade 99.8% acetic acid with CAS 64-19-7 is $520.00. The soaring versatility of food grade acetic acid is, therefore, driving the growth of the Food Grade Acetic Acid Industry. This contributes to the Food Grade Acetic Acid Industry Outlook during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Food Grade Acetic Acid Market Challenges

Deceptive Application of Dilute Acetic Acid for Vinegar and Application of Vinegar with Unrecognized Acidity in Pickles:

Acetic acid must not be utilized under conditions that lead to consumer deception like replacing dilute acetic acid for vinegar in pickled products. Vinegar is a preservative and flavoring agent in nearly all pickles. A vinegar with unrecognized acidity must never be utilized. Vinegar should include 5% acetic acid. Unless the recipe specifies, the vinegar must not be diluted. One needs to be certain of the acetic acid content in vinegar. The direct application of vinegar as a drink can generate throat and esophagus wounds due to the caustic aspect of acetic acid. These issues are, thus, hampering the growth of the Food Grade Acetic Acid Market.
