1. High Production Costs:
One of the major restraints for the bio acrylic acid market is the high production costs associated with bio-based manufacturing processes. The costs of sourcing and converting bio-based feedstocks into acrylic acid are currently higher than traditional petrochemical methods, posing a challenge for market growth.
2. Limited Availability of Feedstocks:
The limited availability of suitable feedstocks for bio acrylic acid production is a significant restraint for the market. Bio-based feedstocks such as sugar, glycerol, and lactic acid are essential for bio acrylic acid production, and their availability and cost can impact the market dynamics.
3. Competition from Petrochemical Acrylic Acid:
The market for bio acrylic acid faces competition from traditional petrochemical acrylic acid, which is well-established and widely used across various industries. The strong market presence and lower production costs of petrochemical acrylic acid present a challenge for bio-based alternatives in terms of market penetration and adoption.
