Rising health issues associated with the continued usage of sodium citrate and fluctuating raw material prices are projected to provide significant obstacles to market expansion in the near future.

What are the Key Dynamics to the Sodium Citrate Dihydrate Market Share?

Seasonal factors for beverages and new detergent applications are the principal growth drivers for the rise in sales of sodium citrate dihydrate. However, fluctuations in raw materials prices hinder the steady growth of the global sodium citrate dihydrate market.

Sodium citrate dihydrate (C6H5Na3O7•2H2O), also known as citric trisodium salt dihydrate, or trisodium citrate dehydrate, is obtained from citric acid and is available in granular or powder form, having a salty but pleasant taste. Sodium citrate dihydrate is odourless and freely soluble in water, marginally deliquescent in moist air, and insoluble in alcohol. It is prepared by completely neutralizing citric acid with high purity sodium hydroxide or carbonate followed by crystallization.

Sodium citrate dihydrate is a non-toxic, neutral salt having low reactivity. It shows chemical stability when stored at ambient temperatures. Sodium citrate dihydrate is biodegradable and disposable with regular waste or sewage, thus improving sales.

It is widely used in preservatives and as a flavouring agent in the food industry. The consistent demand for sodium citrate dihydrate is a testament that sodium citrate is regarded as safe when used in normal quantities. 

In the pharmaceutical industry, there has been a consistent rise in the sales of sodium citrate dihydrate. Sodium citrate dihydrate also finds its use as a buffering agent, alkalizing agent, emulsifying agent, or sequestering agent.

The food and beverage sector is a rich market, particularly in Asia-Pacific and the Gulf Cooperation Council (mainly in the UAE). In addition, the UAE's demand for food and beverage goods is rising fast, and this trend is expected to continue in the next years. Due to these factors, the demand for sodium citrate dihydrate is expected to expand throughout the forecast period.
