Food Grade Phosphoric Acid Market, By Form (Liquid, Solid, and Others), By Application (Food and Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, Animal Feed, and Others), By Geography (North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa)

Global food grade phosphoric acid market is estimated to be valued at USD 2.42 Bn in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 3.08 Bn by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5% from 2025 to 2032. Phosphoric acid is an important nutritional ingredient used in various food applications such as dairy products, beverages, bakery goods, and others. It regulates pH levels in these foods and prevents microbial growth. With rising health consciousness, there will be huge demand for processed and packaged foods. This can boost demand for food grade phosphoric acid over the forecast period. However, stringent regulations by U.S. FDA regarding its use may hamper the market growth.

Market Dynamics

Growing consumption of processed foods and beverages globally can lead to increased usage of phosphoric acid. Ready-to-drink beverages especially soda, energy drinks, and others consume large quantities of phosphoric acid as an acidulant. Rising demand for packaged dairy products such as milk powder, cheese, yogurt, and others which utilize phosphoric acid as a preservative and pH can aid market expansion. However, growing concerns regarding potential adverse health effects of phosphates can hamper the market growth. Product innovation targeting replacement of artificial ingredients with phosphoric acid can open up new opportunities for market players.
