To gather both qualitative and quantitative information, the primary research process involved interviewing players from both the supply and demand sides. Executives from chemical, benzoic acid, and specialty chemical firms, as well as their respective VPs of manufacturing, heads of regulatory affairs, directors of research and development, and marketing directors, made up the supply side. Procurement managers from food and drink producers, scientists specializing in pharmaceutical formulation, researchers working on cosmetics products, distributors of chemicals, and supply chain managers from end-use industries such as coatings, personal care, and plastics made up the demand-side sources. Market segmentation, growth timetables for manufacturing capacity, pricing volatility patterns, methods for procuring raw materials, and regulatory compliance dynamics across regional markets were all investigated through primary research.

Global market valuation was derived through production capacity mapping and consumption volume analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 40+ key manufacturers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America
Product mapping across food-grade, pharmaceutical-grade, technical-grade benzoic acid, and key derivatives (sodium benzoate, potassium benzoate, benzyl benzoate)
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to benzoic acid product portfolios
Coverage of manufacturers representing 65-70% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (consumption volume × ASP by application and region) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations
Cross-validation with import-export trade data from UN Comtrade, national customs databases, and regional chemical industry reports
