Gallic Acid Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Grade (Industrial Grade, Pharmaceutical Grade, Food Grade, Others), By Application (Medical Application, Biological Activity, Antioxidants, Food Additive, Reagent), By End Use Industry (Cosmetics & Personal Care, Pharmaceutical, Ink & Dye, Food & Feed, Electronics, Paper) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The gallic acid is a naturally occurring antioxidant, which is a secondary type of polyphenolic metabolite. It is found in various plants including witch hazel, gallnuts, oak bark, tea leaves, and sumac. It is a colorless crystalline powder that is available as part of a tannin molecule or a free molecule. The gallic acid offers various beneficial properties such as anti-microbial, antifungal, and antibacterial. Furthermore, it is utilized as a synthetic intermediate in the production of gallic acid esters and pyrogallols. The gallic acid finds its application in the medical, antioxidants, reagent, biological activity, and food additive.

The rising demand for gallic acid in the pharmaceutical industry will provide market expansion. Gallic acid has anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. It acts as an antioxidant and aids to protect the cells from oxidative damage. The gallic acid is used to show cytotoxicity against cancer cells, without harming healthy cells. Further, gallic acid is also used to treat albuminuria and diabetes. Rising use of gallic acid in the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular maladies, inflammation, hepatitis C, neurological disorders and HCV infection will drive the market demand.

However, the higher demand for gallic acid owing to its benefits leads to fluctuations in its availability, which further creates the demand-supply gap for the product. The lack of availability leads to the reduction in its adoption and rising the demand for an alternative product, which may restrict market growth.
