Butyric acid derivatives are salts and esters of butyric acid also known as botanoic acid. Salts of butyric acid are predominant segment of butyric acid derivatives market. Salts of butyric acid include sodium butyrate, calcium butyrate, potassium butyrate, magnesium butyrate etc. Of these salts, sodium butyrate and calcium butyrate have substantially high demand. Butyric acid is a corrosive and very foul smelling carboxylic acid, hence it is usually converted into salts and esters for handling and application. Butyric acid derivatives are profoundly used in animal feed application, butyrate are known to improve gastrointestinal health and prevent microbial infections and ailments in poultry, pigs, fishes, and ruminants.In 2024, global Butyric Acid Derivatives production reached approximately 176 K MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 3469 per MT.
The butyric acid derivatives market is shaped by the growing demand for value-added chemicals in food, pharmaceutical, and animal nutrition industries. Butyric acid itself is a short-chain fatty acid, but its derivatives-including sodium butyrate, calcium butyrate, tributyrin, and esters-have broader commercial significance. These derivatives are increasingly used as feed additives for improving gut health and nutrient absorption in livestock, as functional food ingredients, and in certain drug formulations where controlled release or targeted intestinal activity is required. Rising consumer demand for healthier diets, probiotics, and sustainable animal husbandry practices has made these derivatives a focus area for both chemical producers and biotech companies.
On the industrial side, the market benefits from advances in fermentation technologies that allow butyric acid production from renewable biomass, aligning with global sustainability goals. Growth is also being driven by pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, where butyrate compounds are explored for their role in anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and metabolic health benefits. In addition, tributyrin and esters find uses in flavor and fragrance industries due to their unique organoleptic properties. While opportunities are broad, the market faces challenges from high production costs, volatility in raw material supply, and regulatory hurdles regarding food and pharma approvals, which collectively shape its competitive and growth trajectory.
