Citric acid is a weak organic acid that is produced as a white crystalline powder. It is a natural food preservative that is also used to add an acidic, or sour taste to foods and soft drinks. Citric acid occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables such as lemons, limes, etc., which can also be used as an environmentally benign cleaning agent.
Citric acid is used in various end use applications such as animal feed, food & beverages, metal finishing, etc. which is a key factor driving growth of the global citric acid market. In addition, rising demand for ready-to-eat foods, coupled with citric acid being used in cosmetics, toiletries, and pharmaceuticals are major factors expected to fuel growth to the global citric acid market over the forecast period. Moreover, increasing use of citric acid in dietary supplements to enhance flavours is another major factor anticipated to boost growth for the global citric acid market to a significant extent.
However, regular consumption of citric acid causes vomiting, loss of appetite, and diarrhoea which is a major factor restraining growth of the global citric acid market. In addition, high dose of citric acid increases toxicity in the body which may lead to kidney problems, nerve damage, and radical damage which is a major factor hampering growth of the global citric acid market over the forecast period.
