About Formic Acid
Formic acid is used abundantly since it is an eco-friendly alternative to textile, leather, rubber, and other industries. The excellent properties of a formic acid, when it comes to controlling acidity while effectively controlling microbial growth, makes it ideal for use in a broad spectrum of applications. Furthermore, formic acid, unlike other acids (organic), holds the advantage of performing as both carboxylic acid and aldehyde. Therefore, formic acid functions as a reducing and as an acidifying agent, which offers the market immense potential and scope to be used across a wide range of industries.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global formic acid market to grow at a CAGR of 4.26% during the period 2017-2021.
