Formic acid, often known as methanolic acid, is a colorless, smelly liquid having the formula HCOOH. The term “Formica,” which comes from the Latin word for ant, refers to this most basic carboxylic acid, which was first identified in ants during the 18th century. Numerous organisms, including insects, plants, and animals, naturally contain formic acid. It has many industrial uses and is produced commercially through the catalytic oxidation of methanol. Formic acid’s highly reactive and caustic nature makes it useful as a reducing, preserving, and coagulating agent.
According to SPER market research, ‘Formic Acid Market Size- By Production Method, By Application, By End User, By Concentration – Regional Outlook, Competitive Strategies and Segment Forecast to 2033’ state that the Global Formic Acid Market is predicted to reach USD 4.43 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 4.82 %.
Formic acid has a broad range of uses and diverse qualities, which present various market potential. The increasing need for animal feed preservation and cleanliness presents a huge market opportunity. To increase feed quality and inhibit microbial growth, formic acid is used as a preservative in livestock feed. This improves animal productivity and health. The growing interest in eco-friendly and sustainable products presents another market potential. Given its biodegradability and sourcing from renewable resources like methanol, formic acid is a suitable chemical to meet the increasing need for eco-friendly products. It can be utilized in place of some harsh chemicals in a variety of industries, such as cleaning goods, leather tanning, and textile processing.

A number of challenges could hinder the formic acid market’s expansion and general uptake. Its caustic character is a major obstacle. Because formic acid is a powerful acid, it can harm machinery, pipes, and storage facilities if safety measures are not followed. One further obstacle is the production expense. Although methanol and other renewable resources can be used to produce formic acid, costly precious metal catalysts like cobalt or rhodium are frequently used in the process.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Formic Acid Market
The pandemic of COVID-19 has had an uneven influence on the formic acid market. The formic acid market, like many others, was disrupted by the worldwide economic slump and lockdown measures enacted to prevent the spread of the virus. Travel, trade, and industrial limitations caused supply chain disruptions, limited production capacity, and logistical issues, hurting formic acid availability and distribution. Furthermore, the pandemic had a considerable influence on the formic acid end-use sectors. Automobile, textile, leather, and construction industries also experienced downturns, resulting in lower demand for formic acid in these industries.
