Succinic acid, also known as butanedioic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid with the chemical formula C₄H₆O₄. It is a colorless, odorless, and crystalline compound that is naturally present in plants, animals, and microorganisms. Succinic acid plays a crucial role in biological processes, particularly in the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle), which is fundamental to cellular metabolism and energy production in living organisms.

Succinic acid has both natural and synthetic origins. It is found in small quantities in foods like fermented products (e.g., beer, wine, and vinegar), and it can be biosynthesized by microorganisms during fermentation processes.

Succinic acid is a versatile intermediate in the chemical industry, used in the production of various chemicals and materials. Some of its major applications include: Production of biodegradable plastics (e.g., PBS - polybutylene succinate), which are an eco-friendly alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. Solvents and plasticizers: Used in making resins and plasticizers. Lubricants and coatings. Food additive: It is used as an acidulant and flavoring agent in food and beverages. Pharmaceuticals: Succinic acid and its derivatives are used in drugs and as an excipient (inactive substance used as a carrier for the active ingredient). Biofuels: Succinic acid is seen as a potential building block for biofuels, making it important for the renewable energy sector. Cosmetics: It is also included in some cosmetic formulations for its moisturizing properties. Agriculture: Used in plant growth regulators and in the production of certain agrochemicals, etc.

Sustainability: Succinic acid derived from renewable sources (bio-based succinic acid) is increasingly popular due to the growing shift towards sustainable and green chemicals. It is considered a building block for a variety of eco-friendly products, such as biodegradable plastics.

Rising Demand in Bioplastics: The increasing focus on reducing plastic waste has led to a rise in demand for bioplastics, for which succinic acid is a key component.

Growth in End-use Industries: Industries such as automotive (for plastics and coatings), pharmaceuticals, and food are growing, contributing to the rise in succinic acid demand.

Global key players of succinic acid include LCY Biosciences (BioAmber), Reverdia, Kawasaki Kasei Chemicals, Nippon Shokubai, Feiyang Chemical, etc. The top five players hold a share about 69%. China is the largest producer, has a share about 31%, followed by North America and Japan. China is the largest consumption market, has a share about 39%, followed by Europe and North America.
