Global Citric Acid Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Citric acid is a weak organic acid found naturally in citrus fruits, such as lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits. It is a key component in the citric acid cycle, a fundamental metabolic pathway that occurs in living organisms, including humans, to produce energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. In the food industry, citric acid is widely used as a food additive and preservative due to its sour taste and ability to enhance flavors. It is found in various processed foods, beverages, and candies, as well as in cleaning agents, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Citric acid＇s acidic properties also make it useful in cleaning products, where it acts as a chelating agent to remove mineral deposits and stains. Its natural origin and versatile applications have made citric acid an essential and widely used compound in both the food and non-food industries.
