Global Potassium Metabisulfite Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2030

Potassium Metabisulfite Market Analysis and Size

The food preservative potassium metabisulfite sometimes referred to as potassium pyrosulfate or food additive E224, retains the food's original colour and guards against microorganisms. The potassium derivatives potassium hydroxide (KOH) and potassium carbonate (K2CO3), synthesized by Vynova, make the additive. Potassium chloride (KCl), a salt naturally occurring in the earth's crust and widely utilized in the feed and fertilizer industries, is the electrochemical process that gives rise to KOH and K2CO3.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the global potassium metabisulfite market which was USD 475.08 million in 2022, would rocket up to USD 665.33 million by 2030, and is expected to undergo a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period. The “Wine industry” is expected to dominate the application segment of the global potassium metabisulfite market because eliminating all of the oxygen suspended in the wine functions as an antioxidant and slows down aging.

Potassium Metabisulfite Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Having a molecular formula, potassium metabisulfite is also known as potassium pyrosulfite. K S O is a crystalline powder that is white in color and has a strong sulfur-pungent odor. It is mostly employed as an antioxidant or chemical sterilant. At 190 degrees, potassium metabisulfite breaks into potassium sulfite and sulfur dioxide. Both sodium and potassium metabisulfite share several characteristics. Potassium metabisulfite can be replaced by sodium metabisulfite. In the fermentation of wine and the brewing sector, potassium metabisulfite is a crucial ingredient. It serves as a preservative and prevents diseases like bacteria and fungus from proliferating. It is used in the textile industry for things like cotton printing and dyeing.

Global Potassium Metabisulfite Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Excessive use of potassium metabisulfite in the production of alcohol

The chemical sterilant potassium pyrosulfite, also known as potassium metabisulfite, is employed as a preservative. Numerous end-use industries, including those for wine, beer, textiles, and others, employ potassium metabisulfite. The food and beverage sector uses it most frequently, primarily in the production of wine. Due to its antioxidant qualities, it is utilized as an additive. Potassium bisulfite's reaction during the wine-making process aids in preserving the wine's natural qualities. Additionally, it can be used to stabilize liquids and stop the growth of bacteria. The production procedure for wine uses more than 70% of the potassium metabisulfite produced. Overall, goal expansion is expected to be driven in the upcoming years by the rising demand for wine.

• Increased consumption of wine in extremely cold regions

In regions that are extremely cold, such as Europe, North America, and several nations in the Asia-Pacific area, the demand for wine goods has grown quickly over time. Beer and wine consumption is rising as a means of controlling body temperature. This is due to the discovery in several research that drinking wine and beer helps raise body temperature. The United States has become the world's greatest wine consumer in part due to its very cold climate. In 2021, the United States used more than 30 million hectoliters of wine, followed by France and Italy, each of which consumed more than 25 million hectoliters. Due to the rise in the number of young people and their propensity for beer and wine, the consumption of wine is also rising in many nations.

Opportunities

• The demand for alcoholic beverages is rising as the young population grows

Furthermore, the development of technology and the rise in the demand for potassium metabisulfite to meet growing market demand, an increase in market research and development efforts and extend profitable opportunities to the market players in 2023 to 2030. Additionally, rising consumer spending by a significant margin will further expand the future growth of the potassium metabisulfite market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Exposure to potassium metabisulfite may irritate and redden the skin

Both eating and inhalation of the drug might result in absorption into the body. The material is damaging to the eyes. The chemical irritates the skin, respiratory system, and digestive system. For those who are susceptible, exposure might result in urticaria or responses similar to asthma. At 20°C, evaporation is minimal, yet, when dispersed, a dangerous concentration of airborne particles can be quickly obtained. Continual or continuous inhalation may result in symptoms similar to asthma. The chemical could have an impact on the skin.
