Consumers are becoming more and more health conscious and it is driving their shift towards food products with natural ingredients. This is also driving manufacturers in the food ingredients industries to move away from chemical preservatives such as nitrates or nitrites to natural preservatives such as citric acid. This is one of the leading factors triggering the adoption of citric acid in the food & beverage industry. Not only consumer preference but rules introduced by governing bodies are also prohibiting the use of artificial ingredients. For instance

In December 2020, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) published a letter that restricts food manufacturers to use statements like “No nitrite or nitrate added” on labels. USDA further states that when food products have any sources of nitrates or nitrites in the form of curing agent, flavouring, antimicrobial, or coloring applications, a disclosure – “Nitrates or nitrites added” – will be mandatory. This is encouraging food manufacturers to use citric acid as a natural ingredient that can help them extend shelf life of their products.

Leading players in the citric acid market are also investing heavily to explore unique and lesser-known advantages of citric acid in a variety of end uses and industrial applications. Not only in the food & beverage industry, citric acid is also witnessing high demand in the pharmaceutical industry owing to its biopharmaceutical and medicinal advantages. This is further triggering manufacturers to diversify the adoption of citric acid in this industrial area.

For instance, in December 2020, Evofem Biosciences, Inc. - a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in the United States - announced that it has listed two of its patents in the Orange Book - a publication by the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The company stated that the patents highlight its non-hormonal, FDA-approved, contraceptive vaginal gel - Phexxi® (lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate). Such innovations in the various applications of citric acid are expected to trigger new trends in the market in the coming years.
