The global Trans-Butenedioic Acid market was valued at USD xxxx units in 2025 and is projected to reach USD xxxx units by 2036, expanding at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period 2026–2036. Market growth is driven by rising demand from food and beverage manufacturing, unsaturated polyester resin production, animal feed additives, and specialty industrial applications.
Trans-butenedioic acid is widely used due to its high acidity, chemical stability, non-hygroscopic nature, and excellent performance as an acidulant and intermediate. The Global Trans-Butenedioic Acid Market Report 2025 provides a comprehensive assessment of market size, production trends, regulatory landscape, technological progress, and competitive dynamics, supported by extensive primary and secondary research.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a short-term mixed impact on the trans-butenedioic acid market in 2020. Temporary shutdowns of industrial manufacturing and logistics disruptions negatively affected demand from the resins and construction-related sectors. However, increased consumption of processed food, beverages, and feed products helped offset these declines.
Post-pandemic recovery has been supported by normalized supply chains, rebound in construction and resin demand, and continued growth of food and feed industries, reinforcing long-term market stability.
