Isononanoic Acid: Introduction
·
Isononanoic acid is a type of fatty acid with nine carbon atoms.
It is also called pelargonic acid. Its chemical formula is C9H18O2. Isononanoic
acid is obtained by oxidation of isononyl aldehyde. The acid is a mixture of
isomers with 3, 5, 5-trimethyl hexanoic acid with weight percentage of about
90. Isononanoic acid is a clear, colorless liquid with faint odor. It is
miscible with organic solvents. Isononanoic acid is sparingly soluble in water.
The ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) classifies isononanoic acid as a dangerous
material in CPA classifications, as it causes severe eye damage upon exposure
and skin irritation if swallowed.
·
Isononanoic acid is primarily applied as a plasticizer in
cosmetics and personal care products. It is used as a skin conditioning agent,
cleansing agent, and emulsifying agent in surfactant formulations. It is also
used as an herbicide to prevent growth of weeds, both indoors and outdoors, and
as a blossom thinner for apple and pear trees. The Food & Drug
Administration (FDA) has approved the usage of isononanoic acid as a food
additive and has added it to the list of synthetic flavoring. Thus, it can now
be added directly to food.
Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Isononanoic Acid Market
·
The market for Isononanoic Acid is primarily driving by rise in
demand for the acid in the personal care & cosmetics industry. Rapid
urbanization coupled with increasing disposable income is expected to drive the
personal care & cosmetic products industry, thus driving the demand for
isononanoic acid, as it is used as plasticizing agent.
·
Rise in demand for isononanoic acid in lubricants, metal soaps,
corrosion inhibitors, and others is also driving the market. Isononanoic acid
is also used on a large scale in cleaning & furnishing agents. This is
further expected to propel the market during the forecast period. However, the
recent outbreak of COVID-19 has severely impacted the demand for isononanoic
acid. This is expected to restrain the market in the short term.

Isononanoic Acid: Application Segment
·
Based on application, the
isononanoic
acid market can be segmented into cosmetics & personal care, food
additives, and bio-pesticides
·
The cosmetics & personal care segment held the leading share
in 2020, due to extensive usage of isononanoic acid in household and industrial
detergents, soaps, face washes, spray washes, hypochlorite
detergents/sanitizers, and dish wash liquids. However, toxicity of isononanoic
acid and regulations imposed by ECHA are hampering the segment.
Covid-19 Impact on Isononanoic Acid Market
·
On January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations
Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization (WHO) declared
the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak a public health emergency
of international concern. Originating in China, the virus has spread to at
least 213 countries and territories around the world.
·
Shortage in supply of raw materials from various manufacturers
around the globe has resulted in a severe demand-supply gap. Manufacturers are
further expected to be stranded on raw material orders owing to the logistics
industry being significantly impacted due to the lockdown amid COVID-19.
·
The shutdown in various countries across the globe has
prohibited import of various products including isononanoic acid. This has
adversely impacted end-use industries.
