Europe Acidulants Market, By Type (Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Potassium Citrate, Acetic Acid, Formic Acid, Gluconic Acid, Malic Acid, Phosphoric Acid and Salts, Tartaric Acid, Lactic Acid, Tannic Acid, Fumaric Acid, Succinic Acid, and Ascorbic Acid) Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029
Market Analysis and Insights
Acidulants are chemical compounds that give a tart, sour, or acidic flavor to foods or enhance the perceived sweetness of foods. Acidulants also find major applications in metal manufacturing, textile industry, chemical manufacturing industry, etc. Acidulants can also function as leavening agents and emulsifiers in some Pharmaceutical products. Though acidulants can lower pH, they differ from acidity regulators, which are food additives specifically intended to modify food stability or enzymes within it. Typical acidulants are acetic acid (for instance, in pickles, chemical industry) and citric acid. Many beverages, such as colas, contain phosphoric acid. Phosphoric acid also used in manufacturing of fertilizers.

Europe Acidulants Market Dynamics
Drivers
-
Growing demand for convenience food products is likely to favor food acidulants industry growth
Convenience and ready-to-go foods save time and energy, and thus, there is an increase in the demand for convenience food. This includes frozen foods, canned foods, ready-to-eat snacks, meals, chilled foods, soups and sauces, seasonings and dressings, noodles and pasta, and more. Consumers majorly look for ease of use, high nutritional value, functionality, and quick delivery of convenience foods. Food processing and convenience food manufacturers are developing innovative and creative ideas to meet this demand. Furthermore, acidulants are the key ingredient used in the manufacturing of convenience food to add a refreshing flavor, improved texture and tartness, and enhance the taste of the product.
Thus, the growing demand for convenience food processing is projected to drive the demand for acidulants over the years to come.
-
Rise in demand for acidulants such as phosphoric acid in ferlizers industry
About 90% of the phosphoric acid produced is used to make fertilizers. It is mainly converted into three phosphate salts which are used as fertilizers. Growing demand of food across the globe has boosted demand for various fertilizers so that using fertilizers can improve the yield of crops. Thus, fertilizers industry is driving growth of global acidulants market.
Opportunity
- Biological production of citric acid and acetic acid
Consumers are shifting towards sustainable products and are opting for products that are manufactured with the help of sustainable ingredients. Hence, the demand for sustainable and cost-effective, and biological food ingredients (acidulants) such as citric acid and acetic acid is increasing among the manufacturers. However, the production of bio-succinic acid is quite difficult through a sustainable production that is microbial fermentation, although it is cost-effective.
Thus, due to the availability of a wide range of bacteria, fungi and yeasts, biological production of acidulants can be increased, and sustainable bio-acidulants products can be offered to the global food & beverages industry, as it holds huge opportunity for food & beverages products that include biologically sustainable ingredients.
Restraint/Challenge
- High prices of acidulants
Fluctuating prices of raw materials such as plant-based sources and higher prices for better quality acidulants have resulted in increased prices of acidulants. Additionally, higher food taxes and growing demand for acidulants result in high prices.
Acidulants such as gluconic acid, tannic acid, and tartaric acid have slightly higher prices as these acidulants have fewer applications in food-grade products. Hence the demand is less, and the production of these acidulants for food-grade applications is minimum which results in higher prices. High prices of acidulants may change purchase patterns for food processing manufacturers over other acidulants.
- Rules and regulation of food regulatory bodies on acidulants products
The rules and regulations for the approval of acidulants laid by governmental bodies are to ensure that the acidulants have no side effects, which may restrict the growth of the global acidulants market. The rising concern related to the side effects of acidulants on health has forced the government to lay down strict rules for product approval. The acidulants may lead to elevated blood pressure, the temporary reddish coloration of the eye, and others. Therefore, the amount of acidulant used is checked properly before using it in any product. Thus, the stringent regulations for the approval process may hamper the market's growth.
