What drives growth in organic acid market in APAC?

Growing demand for organic acids in the Asia Pacific region is mainly due to increasing urbanization and industrialization in major economies such as China and India.

Apart from this trend, the organic acid market is enjoying favourable policies from the governments. A number of incentives are also been provided to the companies producing organic acids.

On the other hand, organic acids are fast coming up as game changers given their properties and wider areas of applications

Applications of organic acids

Organic acids are much less reactive in nature and that is why they are used at high temperatures on metal related applications. Due to their properties which can dissolve iron oxides, organic acids like citric acid and oxalic acid are widely used for removing rust. Due to their soft properties, the possibilities of damage to the metals on which they are applied are quite minimal.

Organic acids are used in food as well. Owing to their properties that prevent growth of bacteria like Escherichia coli and Salmonella, these acids are used in food preservation across the world.

There are a number of studies going on over the potential usage of organic acids in several areas. Recently, an experiment was done on plants and it was found that the plants treated with acidic acids can survive droughts. Once confirmed, this revelation could be a major breakthrough revolutionizing the global organic acid industry.
