What is Citric Acid?
Citric acid is a colorless, weak organic acid with the chemical formula C₆H₈O₇. Naturally occurring in citrus fruits—especially lemons and limes—it accounts for roughly 8% of the dry weight of lemon juice. Industrially, it’s mostly produced by fermenting sugars using the mold Aspergillus niger, a method that overtook pure extraction from fruits in the early 20th century. As a versatile compound, citric acid serves multiple roles: it acts as an acidifier, pH regulator, flavor enhancer, preservative, and chelating agent. Its sour taste makes it a common ingredient in soft drinks, candies, jams, and canned foods. Beyond food, it’s also used in medications (as an excipient), cosmetics, cleaning products, and as a component of biodegradable polymers. With global production exceeding 2 million tonnes annually—and over half consumed in the food and beverage sector—citric acid remains one of the most widely used organic acids worldwide.
Market Trend and Drivers of Citric Acid:
The citric acid market is expanding rapidly, driven by several synergistic trends. Firstly, the booming global food and beverage industry is the key catalyst: citric acid is widely used as a natural preservative and flavor agent in soft drinks, juices, processed foods, and confectionery, with consumer demand for shelf-life safety and taste continuity fueling its growth. Secondly, the “clean-label” movement—where consumers demand recognizable, minimally processed ingredients—is boosting citric acid’s popularity as a perceived natural alternative to synthetic additives. Thirdly, rising applications in pharmaceuticals (for pH control, excipient use) personal care (pH adjustment, antioxidant properties), and eco-friendly cleaning agents (as biodegradable chelators) are all contributing to market expansion.
