Citric acid is a colorless, weak organic acid naturally present in citrus fruits, such as lemon, orange, lime, grapefruit, and pomelos. It is synthetically produced by fermentation of sugars using the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger. It is characterized by a slightly acidic, tart, and refreshing taste and is rich in antioxidants. It helps maintain energy levels, promotes healthy digestion, improves kidney function, enhances metabolism, boosts nutrient absorption, and facilitates detoxification. It is widely used in food products to enhance flavor, inhibit microbial growth, extend the shelf life and balance the sweetness in carbonated soft drinks, juices, and other beverages. Moreover, citric acid finds extensive applications across various industries, including cosmetics and personal care, soaps and detergents, adhesives, sealants, plastics, and pharmaceuticals.

The global citric acid market is primarily driven by the growing product adoption as a preservative, flavoring, and coloring agent in the food and beverage sector. Besides this, the escalating demand for ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages and processed foods due to the changing lifestyles, rapid urbanization, and elevating income levels is another major growth-inducing factor. Additionally, there has been widespread product adoption in personal care items, such as facial packs and masks, to naturally lighten and brighten the skin tone, minimize breakouts and oiliness, and regenerate dead skin cells. In line with this, the rising product utilization in manufacturing digestive medicines has catalyzed the demand for citric acid. Furthermore, the leading manufacturers are adopting advanced production technologies to develop specialized grades of citric acid, which is expanding its pharmaceutical and food applications. Along with this, the shifting consumer inclination toward natural and organic products owing to the growing awareness regarding the adverse effects of chemicals present in everyday items has accelerated the adoption of citric acid. Other factors, including the surging product usage in household cleaners and detergents, increasing applications in clinical nutrition and pet food products, and ongoing research and development (R&D) activities, are also anticipated to propel the market growth.
