  • Latest News- Formic Acid Market: Offline is expected to lead the Distribution Channel segment during 2025-2029

    The Formic Acid Market is being driven by Rising demand for formic acid as a preservative

    The Formic Acid Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 592.9 million. The formic acid market is experiencing significant shifts due to the growing global emphasis on reducing carbon dioxide emissions. A new CO2 hydrogenation process is gaining traction, which directly synthesizes formic acid using a homogeneous ruthenium catalyst in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and aqueous solutions. This innovative process eliminates the need for additives and allows for the reuse of catalysts multiple times without compromising synthesis capacity. Additionally, the dehydrogenation of catalysts is becoming increasingly popular in the production of formic acid. These advancements in formic acid production methods offer increased efficiency, sustainability, and cost savings for businesses in various industries.
