Thioglycolic acid, also known as mercaptoacetic acid is a high-performance chemical containing mercaptan and carboxylic acid functionalities. Thioglycolic acid is a colorless liquid with strong, typical mercaptan odor.
Thioglycolic acid is produced by reacting sodium or potassium chloracetate with alkali metal hydrosulfide and can also be produced by reacting sodium thiosulfate and chloroacetic acid.
Thioglycolic acid finds application as an intermediate in the chemical reactions such as in elimination, addition and cyclization. Moreover, thioglycolic acid acts as a precursor to chemicals such as sodium thioglycolate, ammonium thioglycolate and calcium thioglycolate.
Thioglycolic acid acts as a corrosion inhibitor in recovery and transportation systems of oil & gas. Organotin derivatives of thioglycolic acid are used as stabilizers for polyvinyl chloride.
In organic synthesis, thioglycolic acid acts as a sulfur transfer agent for sulfonyl chloride synthesis and nucleophile in thioglycolysis reactions. Further, it is used in leather processing.
Thioglycolic acid find applications in various other end user industries including polymer, leather, chemical & petrochemical, cosmetics, metal & metallurgy and others.

Increasing need for metals and plastics in various industries to positively impact the thioglycolic market. Developed countries from Europe and North America having regulations on use of thioglycolic acid is preventing the market to reach to its full potential.
High reactivity of thioglycolic acid increases the cost of packaging material may reduce the net profits of the manufacturers.
COVID-19 Impact
The end use industries such as oil & gas, chemical & petrochemical, plastics & polymers, metal & metallurgy have been impacted severely by the ongoing pandemic (Covid-19) crisis. The production in these end-user industries have been halted on the basis of the government regulations for social distancing and also disruption in supply chain.
Moreover, the thioglycolic acid has market has experienced negative growth during the pandemic time and is expected to gain traction in a quarter or two by resumption towards industry average production rate by the manufacturers.
Global Thioglycolic Acid Market: Regional Outlook
Asia-Pacific region has been understood to hold a prominent share of thioglycolic acid and is expected to grow from moderate to high rate backed by growing end use markets of personal care products highly in countries such as China, India and Indonesia.
North America and Europe are also expected to hold a significant share of the thioglycolic acid market; albeit to grow at a comparatively lower rate. Increasing oil & gas activities in the U.S. is primarily expected to drive the North America thioglycoloc acid market. Increasing growth in petrochemical industry in and oil exploration in Middle East & Africa is the prominent factor driving the regions thioglycolic acid demand.
