Formic acid is a colorless, transparent liquid with a pungent odor scientifically known as methanoic acid. It has the molecular formula HCOOH or HCO2H. It belongs to group of carboxylic acids and is soluble in various alcohols, acetones and ethers. Formic acid can be synthetically produced as well as it is naturally found in ant venom. Most of the applications found for formic acid requires it to be concentrated upto 85%, 90%, 94% and 99%. According to industry standards, 85% concentration accounts for the highest demand worldwide.

Global Formic acid market is segmented according to production method and applications. According to production method carbonylation of methanol accounts for the highest percentage of share. Although the step involving hydrolysis is complex, and need competing technologies, carbonylation of methanol process is associated with companies such as Kemira and BASF. According to application, formic acid is used in silage preservative, animal feed, dyeing and finishing textiles, rubber & leather production and others including (pharmaceuticals, insecticides, paper & coatings). One of the prominent application of formic acid is in animal feed owing to its natural antibacterial properties. These is followed by silage preservatives, rubber & leather production and so on. According to Wantstats analysis, the global formic acid market was valued at USD 511.3 million in 2015 and is expected to be valued at USD 878.7 million by the end of 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 4.94%.
