Citric Acid Regulators Market By Form (Anhydrous, Monohydrate), By Application (Food, Beverage): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2022-2031
The global citric acid regulators market size was valued at $1,808.1 million in 2021 and is projected to reach $3,087.3 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 5.3% from 2022 to 2031.
Citrus fruits, such as lemons, grapefruit, limes, and others, contain natural citric acid regulators (INS 330 or E330). The fungus Aspergillus Niger and Candida Lipolytic (Y-1095) produce more citric acid than other yeasts available on the market. There are two types of citric acid: anhydrous and monohydrate. The citric acid in the anhydrous or monohydrate form is the most common acidulant used to impart a sour flavor to foods & beverages and acts as a food preservative, pH indicator, antioxidant, and coloring agent.
For the past two to three decades, consumers have been drawn to the market by the accessibility of ready-to-eat and packaged food products such as ready-to-eat meals, meats, dairy products, and others. Packaged products evolve in response to market trends and consumer needs. Consumers today expect the highest quality food and beverage products from manufacturers. Pre-cooked or ready meals are highly convenient, less time-consuming, less expensive, and require less effort to prepare. The benefit has increased sales of ready meals, especially among working people and students. Citric acid plays an important role in the processing of food & beverage items, and they help improve the quality of products, adds texture, and acts as a preservative. Food manufacturing companies are trying different combinations of citric acids in their foods that would help increase overall production. Therefore, a rise in sales of packaged food fuels the growth of the citric acid regulators market.
Emerging markets such as Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa are experiencing increased population, wealth creation, rapid urbanization, and awareness of the benefits of eating foods high in citric acid. Asia and Africa are expected to accommodate more than 75% of the world's population. The majority of nations in these two regions are emerging markets with strong economic growth. Citric acid demand is increasing due to the increased penetration of quick-service restaurant chains and fast-food chains, beverage processing companies, and food processing companies. Furthermore, a significant increase in soft drinks and soda consumption fuels the development of developing regions. The presence of a large population, as well as their consumption habits, drive demand for meat products, soft drinks, and processed foods in developing countries. This is expected to drive citric acid demand among food and beverage manufacturers in developing economies.
Flavoring essence is a key ingredient in the flavoring of soft drinks and sodas. The increased use of synthetic flavoring essence is stifling the soft drink industry's growth because it has been linked to dental problems in customers as a result of long-term consumption. Synthetic flavoring essences such as citric acid, according to the American Dental Association, affect teeth and cause erosion. Soda consumption over time dissolves the enamel layer and compromises structural integrity. The damage causes hypersensitivity and raises the risk of cavity formation and tooth erosion. Synthetic flavor essence, on the other hand, affects the pH level of the water and tends to keep it lower than the neutral pH level limit. The most significant determinant of a beverage's ability to affect the teeth is its pH. A pH of less than 4 is thought to be detrimental to oral health. Overall, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of maintaining good dental health, which prevents them from drinking sweetened sodas containing synthetic flavor essences, compelling beverage companies to look for citric acid alternatives.
