The utilization of natural acids as nourishment added substances increased critical significance after the restriction on anti-microbial development advertisers (AGPs) in Europe in 2006, which tended to the issue of unimportant utilization of anti-infection agents. There is an expanding inclination for natural and safe feed added substances, internationally, which has significantly affected the sodium formate market,, because of its application as a compelling natural feed added substance.
Various regulations have given rise to the demand for organic acids in the animal nutrition sector, and with the growing awareness about their positive effects on feed quality, and subsequently animal performance, the sales of sodium formate are likely to soar in this sector in the coming years. A recently published rule by The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (Document citation: 81 FR 67153), amended the regulations for the safe use of sodium formate as a food additive. Further, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) also confirmed the safety of the use of sodium formate in the production of animal feed additives.
Food additives accounted for almost a third of the global sodium formate market share in 2018, which is likely to remain the same during the forecast period of 2019-2027. The efficacy and safety of sodium formate as an animal feed additive will continue to make it a popular application for sodium formate, positively impacting the growth of the market.
- Activity in Textile & Printing Industry Creates Sustained Opportunities
The sodium formate industry’s reliance on textile and printing is expected to continue to prevail during the forecast period of 2019–2027. In 2018, the textile and printing industry held almost 40% share of the global sodium formate market revenue, and this share is projected to increase over the forecast period.
