Heptanoic acid is also known as Enanthic acid. It is an organic compound composed of a seven-carbon chain terminating in a carboxylic acid functional group. It is a colorless oily liquid with an unpleasant, rancid odor. It contributes to the odor of some rancid oils. In recent years, the demand for heptanoic acid has risen dramatically as it is used in the preparation of esters for the fragrance industry, as an additive in cigarettes as well as plays a role in plant metabolites. For instance, in 2020, 22.3% of the global population used tobacco, 36.7% of all men, and 7.8% of the world’s women.
The Heptanoic Acid Market is expected to grow at a steady rate of around 4% owing to the increasing demand from the pharmaceutical industry. Major companies in the market offer heptanoic acid for automotive, aerospace, food & beverage, cosmetics & personal care, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other sectors with technologically advanced features. For instance, in September 2019, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), the production and sales of commercial vehicles in China reached 3,45,000 and 3,40,000 units, respectively, which showed an increase of 15.8% and 11.6% when compared to the previous month, and up by 4% and 1.9% year on year, respectively.

Based on grade, the market is segmented into industrial, pharmaceutical, and food. The industrial category is expected to hold a significant share during the forecast period owing to the growing penetration of heptanoic acid from developing nations such as China, India, and Mexico, among others. Heptanoic acid is being adopted to promote the preparation of esters for the fragrance industry. Also, an additive in cigarettes across geographies. Furthermore, the entry of global players into emerging markets adds to the growth of the market. For instance, in 2021, Arkema announces a 50% global capacity expansion for its Oleris® advanced biomaterials. It includes C7, C11, and C18 materials, comprising n-heptanoic acid, n-heptaldehyde, undecylenic acid, and Esterol A. This is expected to start by mid-2022 at the major bio-factory of Jurong Island in Singapore.
On the basis of application, the market is categorized into lubricants, flavors & fragrances, cosmetic applications, anti-corrosion applications, chemical intermediates, pharmaceutical ingredients, and others. Among these, , the lubricants held a significant share of heptanoic acid in the market in 2020. This is mainly because it is used in the form of esters. As one of the neopolyol esters is primarily used in car motor oils, metalworking fluids, plasticizers, and more. The lubricants have properties such as high thermal stability, good resistance to oxidation, low viscosity at low temperature, and low volatility at high temperature escalating the growth of the market. Thus, investments taking place globally are contributing to the growth of the lubricants market.
Based on end-user, the heptanoic acid market has been classified into automotive, aerospace, food & beverage, cosmetics & personal care, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and others. The automotive category is expected to dominate the market due to higher adoption of heptanoic acid during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the growing production of vehicles and their usage across the globe. In addition, there is a major growth in the sales of passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles across the globe, which is responsible for the heptanoic acid market growth. Since it is used as a lubricant in vehicles. For instance, in 2021, 79.1 million motor vehicles were produced around the world, an increase of 1.3% compared to 2020.
