Another noteworthy quality of citric acid is its ability to aid digestion. Many people across the world suffer from digestive problems, thus fuelling the demand for citric-acid-based food and beverages.
Pharmaceuticals is a prominent end use sector in the global citric acid market. Citric acid acts as a buffer that regulates pH in medicines. It is also used to prepare salt derivatives of metals and minerals. In addition, it is combined with sodium bicarbonate and used in effervescent formulas to manufacture personal care products.
Other than food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries, the global citric acid market is also being driven by the animal feed, textiles, detergents and cleaners, and cosmetics industries.
