- Growing demand for convenience food and technological innovations, and production of organic acids from cost-effective renewable sources are other factors driving the market growth. Furthermore, increased usage of organic acids in animal feed as a substitute of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) is another factor that is expected to drive the market for organic acids during the forecast period.
- Additionally, stringent government regulations mandated by the Food Drug Association (FDA) regarding the usage of hazardous synthetic chemicals in various industries is fuelling demand for environment-friendly organic acids in North America.
- However, due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the supply chain, production facilities, and various other hindrances have been observed which has certainly impacted the organic acid market in the North American region but for the short period of time.
North America Organic Acid Market Trends and Insights
Increasing Demand for Organic Acids in Wide Array of Applications
The main organic acids are acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, and fumaric acid which are increasingly getting used in plastic making, tanning, textiles, paper, metal, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, herbal insecticides, colors & dyes, lubricants, in food & beverage applications, and cosmetic manufacturing. Formic acid and acetic acid are the acids chiefly used in pharmaceutical and industrial applications. Increased demand for multifunctional skincare products is expected to steer the market for organic acids during the forecast period. In addition, acidulants such as malic and fumaric acids are replacing antibiotics in animal feed, owing to their advantages compared to other feed acidulants. The functional superiority of citric acid in shelf-life enhancement, pH buffering, and in providing flavor and tartness is higher than that of phosphoric, tartaric, and lactic acids to name a few. The robust demands for ready-to-drink (RTD) healthful beverages are facilitating the usage of citric acid.
