Frequently Asked Questions
The main end-use segments are animal feed and silage preservation, leather tanning, textile dyeing and finishing, rubber production, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, agriculture, de-icing, cleaning agents, and food and beverage. Animal feed and silage additives account for approximately 36.6% of global demand, making them the largest application segment.
The two major industrial routes are catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide using a catalyst such as palladium or platinum with a base such as sodium hydroxide, and the reaction of sodium formate with sulfuric acid.
The hydrogenation route uses carbon monoxide, water, a catalyst, and sodium hydroxide, while the sulfuric acid route uses sodium formate and sulfuric acid. Raw materials are the principal variable cost inputs in formic acid production, with their contribution depending on the selected production route and feedstock prices.
Asia-Pacific is the dominant region, accounting for 52.88% of global formic acid consumption, with China as the largest producer and consumer and India as another major regional production and demand centre.
