The global citric acid market has been witnessing steady growth over the past few years. Citric acid is a weak organic acid that is present in citric fruits such as lemons and limes. It is used as an acidulant and preservative in various food and beverage products. In addition to food & beverages, citric acid finds application across industries such as pharmaceuticals, personal care & cosmetics, detergents & cleaners, and others. It helps enhance flavour and acts as a natural preservative while also providing antimicrobial properties. With rising health-consciousness among consumers, demand for natural and organic ingredients is growing significantly globally. This is expected to drive the demand for citric acid over the coming years.
Market Dynamics:
The global citric acid market is driven by the growing demand from the food & beverage industry. Versatility and cost-effectiveness of citric acid as a preservative and flavouring agent has led to its widespread usage in beverages, confectionery, bakery products, and others. However, fluctuating supply of raw materials due to climatic changes has led to inconsistent supply and price volatility of citric acid over the past decade, restraining the market growth. To overcome this challenge, manufacturers are exploring alternatives sources for deriving citric acid such as fungal fermentation which is opening new opportunities. The development of deeper applications of citric acid across industries like pharmaceuticals and personal care through advancements in material science also presents lucrative opportunities. The market is driven by the increasing demand in various industries and is influenced by multiple factors including market segmentation, key players, and regional outlook.
