Segments - Global Glucaric Acid Market By Type (D-glucaric acid-1,4-lactone, Calcium D-Glucarate, Pure Glucaric Acid, and Others), By Application (Corrosion Inhibitors, Food Ingredients, Detergents, and Others), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2022 – 2029
The global glucaric acid market was valued at USD 12.56 Million in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 18.67 Million by 2029, expanding at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. D-Glucaric acid, also known as saccharic acid, is a compound with the chemical formula C6H10O8, which belongs to the oxidized sugars family of compounds.
It is a naturally occurring aldaric acid that can be found in trace amounts in many fruits and vegetables. It is a highly functionalized molecule with four chiral carbons and several reaction routes. Glucaric acid includes dicarboxylic acid groups at the terminal ends of C-6 sugar and can be used in the manufacture of nylon as an alternative to fossil-derived adipic acid. Its corrosion-inhibiting properties allows its use as an additive in the cement industry.
Glucaric acid derivatives are also used in medicinal applications such as diabetic therapy, and anticancer agents. Glucaric acid is found naturally in fruits and vegetables, and it can be synthesized from glucose utilizing a chemical, biological, or electrochemical oxidation method. Rising awareness regarding the presence of toxins and potential threats of non-biodegradable chemicals among consumers raises the demand for glucaric acid.

Growing usage of glucaric acid in polymer synthesis is driving its demand among consumers. The demand for glucaric acid is projected to rise, due to it is easy availability, inexpensive nature, and environmentally sustainable nature. Rising adoption of glucaric acid in various applications, particularly in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, corrosion inhibitors, and others is driving the market. It is also used to make concrete mixes and mild fertilizers, as glucaric acid is environmentally sustainable in nature.
Glucaric acid is an organic chemical compound, which is generated by the chemical reaction between nitric acid and oxidized sugar. Glucaric acid is employed in a variety of sectors including agriculture, medicine, chemicals, and food. Glucaric acid produces positive outcomes when used in the treatment of water. High quality of glucaric acid helps in removing calcium, magnesium, and manganese salts, iron deposits, and bio-film deposition from hard water. Glucaric acid is natural and renewable in nature, therefore it is anticipated to replace chemicals used in the building industry.
Gluconic acid synthesis is a straightforward oxidation process that is carried out using electrochemical, biochemical, or bioelectric-chemical approaches. As commercial production is well-established employing fungus and bacteria, but generating glucaric acid in large quantities produces a lot of nitrogen oxide. Nitrogen oxide is harmful to the environment, hence industries must adhere to severe government regulations regarding nitrogen oxide emissions. As a result, commercial production of glucaric acid restrains the growth of the market.
Chronic illnesses are rising across the world, and many are seeking treatment and looking for natural and less expensive solutions. Chemo-prevention with natural phytochemical substances is a new technique for preventing, delaying, or curing cancer. Some natural substances, such as calcium d-glucarate, curcumin, and others, have been found and investigated for anticancer action in various cancer cell treatments. These factors are expected to create abundant opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry. This is creating opportunities in the market, particularly in pharmaceutical industries.
Based on Types, the global Glucaric Acid market is bifurcated into D-glucaric acid-1,4-lactone, Calcium D-Glucarate, Pure Glucaric Acid, and others. The pure glucaric segment is estimated to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, owing to its low price and easily availability as compared to other products.
By Application, the global glucaric acid market is primarily segmented into corrosion inhibitors, food ingredients, detergents, and others. The detergent segment is estimated to hold a substantial share of the market during the forecast period. Growing demand for biodegradable cleaners and restriction on the use of phosphates is expected fuel the segment.
Based on Region, the global Glucaric Acid market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa (MEA). The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, owing to increasing consumption of glucaric acid across various industries such as agriculture, chemical, and material industry.
Expansion of the food & beverage industry in Asia Pacific is propelling the demand for multi-functional food ingredients in this region, thus driving the market. Growing economies and rising spending power of consumers on food & beverage products are anticipated to boost the glucaric acid market in the region during the forecast period.
