Comprehensive Sales Analysis: Historic to Futuristic

Organic acids are organic compounds with acidic properties. Acids having carboxyl groups with long carbon chains are the most widely used type of organic acids. Carboxyl acids are weak organic acids, whereas sulfonic acids are among the strongest acids available. Some of the commonly used organic acids include acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, and uric acid among several others. The key end-use applications of organic acids include bakery and confectionaries, dairy, beverages, poultry, meat, seafood, livestock, pharmaceuticals, industrial, and others.

The market is anticipated to benefit from the pharmaceutical industry's rapid growth due to the growing use of organic acids in medicines like aspirin and phenacetin.

  • Short Term (2023-2026): Augmenting utilization of organic acids as preservatives and flavor enhancing agent in bakeries, confectionaries, and dairy products are driving the market for organic acids.
  • Medium Term (2026-2029): Government regulations, advanced production technologies, and growing pharmaceutical industry are set to augment the organic acid market growth, especially in North America and Asia Pacific.
  • Long Term (2029-2033): Mergers and acquisitions along with bio-based organic acid demand due to increasing inclination towards greener and environmentally friendly products will drive organic acids demand in the long term.

Over the 2018-2022 historical period, the global organic acids market registered a CAGR of 3.1%, according to the Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the market is projected to exhibit growth at 6.1% CAGR between 2023 and 2033.

“Food & Beverage Industry: The Major Consumer of Organic Acids”

Food and beverage account for a major share of the consumption of organic acids. In the coming years, the demand for organic acids will increase due to the expanding population and GDP growth. Because organic acids are increasingly used in the manufacturing of soft drinks and other food products, demand for them will keep rising in the food and beverage sector. In terms of demand, acetic dominated the market for organic acids worldwide. Owing to its antibacterial and antifungal qualities, it is increasingly used in the food and beverage industry, which is a key factor in the market's expansion.

Additionally, foods and beverages fortified with organic acids have various health advantages, which has led to a growth in consumer demand over the past few years. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations predicts an increase in worldwide per capita food consumption to 3,050 kcal per person per day by 2030.

The demand for organic acids in the food and beverage sector will continue to rise due to their expanding use in the manufacturing of soft drinks and other food products.

“Stringent Government Regulations to Hamper Market Growth”

The market is threatened by strict rules put in place by REACH, the EPA, and other governing organizations to limit the use of synthetic organic acids, despite the fact that organic acids have high development possibilities. This is due to the fact that synthetic versions of organic acids are made from non-renewable resources and are harmful to the environment.

Acetic acid can be a harmful chemical if employed in high concentrations. Its use in pesticides and animal feed in higher concentrations can pose a threat to plants, animals, and aquatic life.

The expansion of the international market for organic acids is anticipated to be constrained by high initial investment and fluctuating prices of raw materials like biomass, maize, corn, and others. The cost of raw materials varies depending on their source, manufacture, and availability.
