Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the malic acid market. Malic Acid is a vital ingredient in the food and beverage industry, and its demand has been affected by the pandemic. The pandemic has caused disruptions in the supply chain, leading to a shortage of raw materials and a decrease in production. This has resulted in an increase in the price of Malic Acid, making it difficult for manufacturers to maintain their profit margins.

Furthermore, the pandemic has led to a shift in consumer behavior, with people becoming more health-conscious and opting for healthier food and beverage options. This has led to a decrease in the demand for products that contain Malic Acid, such as carbonated drinks and processed foods.

Market Dynamics

  • Increasing demand for natural additives in food products

  • Rising demand for functional and beneficial beverages

  • Rising awareness regarding the use of malic acid in healthcare sectors

Malic acid acts as an acidulant and flavoring agent in the food processing industry. Due to its excellent blending and flavor-enhancing properties, it is used in various applications in the food and beverage industry. Moreover, due to the increasing number of start-ups the food and beverage industry is growing rapidly which leads to an increase in demand for malic acid and boosts the malic acid market. In addition, malic acid is used as an excipient and flavoring agent in the pharmaceutical industry. This application of malic acid drives the market for it in the healthcare sector.

Restrain

  • Fluctuation in the raw material prices

Opportunities

  • Shifting preference of customers toward consuming ready-to-eat and drink convenience food products and beverages

Challenges

  • High initial investment during the establishment of the malic acid production plant

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War:

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has had a significant impact on various industries, including the malic acid market. Malic acid is a common food additive used in the production of beverages, confectionery, and baked goods. It is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a flavoring agent.

The war has disrupted the supply chain of malic acid, as Ukraine is one of the major producers of the acid. The conflict has led to a decrease in the production and export of malic acid from Ukraine, resulting in a shortage of supply in the global market. This has caused an increase in the price of malic acid, making it more expensive for manufacturers to produce their products.

Impact of Recession:

The global recession has had a significant impact on the malic acid market. Malic acid is a naturally occurring organic acid that is commonly used in the food and beverage industry as a flavor enhancer, Food Preservative, and acidulant. The recession has caused a decline in demand for malic acid due to a decrease in consumer spending and a slowdown in the food and beverage industry. As a result of the recession, many companies have reduced their production of malic acid, leading to a decrease in supply. This has caused prices to rise, making it more difficult for smaller companies to afford malic acid. Additionally, the recession has led to a decrease in research and development in the malic acid industry, which could have long-term effects on the market.

14. Conclusion
 

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
