Request Now !Levulinic acid, chemically known as 4-oxopentamoic acid is an organic compound, which is categorized as a keto acid. This white, crystalline solid is derived from the degradation of cellulose and is soluble in water and other polar organic solvents. It is majorly produced from bio-mass and brewery waste and can also be produced by a number of processes such as oxidation of ketones and by acidic hydrolysis of furfuryl alcohol. Levulinic acid is considered to be an efficient substitute of petroleum based products in various sectors such as bio-fuels and chemical industry. It also acts as a precursor in plasticizers and pharmaceutical products.

COVID-19 scenario analysis:
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected all the sectors of businesses and the levulinic acid is no exception.
One of the major factors that drives the growth of the levulinic acid market is its role in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The fact that PVC is a better alternative for phthalate plasticizers in terms of toxicity, increases usage of PVC in different industries such as packaging, healthcare, automobile, construction and several others. Moreover, levulinic acid is also used as an additive in the bio-fuel production and in the production of several pharmaceutical products. It also plays an important role in the production of cigarettes as levulinic acid enhances the nicotine content in it. The increasing R&D toward production of bio-based levulinic acid is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities to the market. However, the high production cost and the need innovations in direct production of levulinic acid might act as restraining factors for the market.
The market in the North America region is dominating the global levulinic acid market owing to high demand of levulinic acid in the personal care and pharmaceutical industries of the region. The market in the Asia-Pacific region is also expected to grow significantly with surging demand for levulinic acid in the food and beverage industry as a flavoring agent and also in the agricultural sector for the manufacture of pesticides. Europe also holds a major share of the levulinic acid market and thus, is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period.
