Organic acid products are chemical compounds that are carbon-based acids produced for commercial or industrial purposes. These acids usually contain one or more carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) and can be either synthetically manufactured or biologically derived through fermentation or other methods.
The main types of organic acid products include chemicals, organic, agricultural, additives, and industrial categories. Chemicals refer to substances with specific molecular compositions produced or used in chemical processes. These products come in various forms such as liquid, powdered, and granulated, and serve multiple applications including food and beverages, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and textiles.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The intensifying U.S. tariffs and escalating trade tensions in spring 2025 are expected to have a significant impact on the chemicals sector, which is bearing a disproportionate burden, particularly from tariffs on petrochemicals and intermediates, where affordable domestic substitutes are often unavailable. Producers of specialty chemicals, heavily dependent on Chinese raw materials, are experiencing production disruptions. At the same time, fertilizer manufacturers are seeing profit margins eroded due to tariffs on phosphate imports. In response, companies are ramping up R&D into bio-based alternatives, forming procurement alliances to consolidate buying power, and shifting production to tariff-neutral nations such as Saudi Arabia.
The organic acid products market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides organic acid products market statistics, including organic acid products industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an organic acid products market share, organic acid products market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the organic acid products industry. This organic acid products market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The organic acid products market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $17.00 billion in 2024 to $18.13 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the expansion of cold chain logistics, the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases, globalization of food supply chains, rising biochemical applications, and shifting consumer preferences toward functional foods.
The organic acid products market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.14 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to increasing awareness about gut health and probiotics, growth in e-commerce food and nutraceutical sales, urbanization and shifting dietary patterns, and a rising focus on the circular economy. Key trends during this period include the expansion of vertical and indoor farming, integration of artificial intelligence in chemical processes, development of smart packaging with natural preservatives, convergence of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, and technologies for converting agricultural waste into organic acids.
The rising demand in the food and beverage industry is expected to drive the growth of the organic acid products market going forward. Food and beverages include all consumable items people eat or drink for nourishment, enjoyment, or hydration. This growing demand is largely driven by increased consumption of packaged and processed foods, as more consumers worldwide purchase ready-to-eat meals, snacks, and packaged beverages. Organic acid products support the food and beverage industry by functioning as preservatives, acidity regulators, and flavor enhancers, which help extend shelf life, maintain safety, and improve taste across various products. For example, in October 2023, Canada.ca, a Canadian government agency, reported that exports of processed food and beverage products reached a record $54.3 billion in 2022, representing a 14.1% increase compared to 2021. Therefore, the rising demand in the food and beverage industry is fueling growth in the organic acid products market.
Leading companies in the organic acid products market are focusing on innovative solutions such as organic acid-based feed additives that enhance animal nutrition, gut health, and feed preservation. Organic acid-based feed additives are supplements containing organic acids added to animal feed to improve gut health, increase nutrient absorption, control harmful bacteria, and preserve feed quality. For instance, in February 2024, Addcon, a Germany-based company, launched three organic acid-based feed hygiene products in Indonesia-ADDCON ProFeed, Formi Stable, and ADDCON XL Forte-through its distributor Novindo. ADDCON ProFeed provides dual benefits by preserving feed quality and deactivating harmful mycotoxins, ensuring safer and longer-lasting livestock feed. Formi Stable targets key pathogens to support gut health and reduce disease risk in animals. ADDCON XL Forte is a versatile liquid acidifier offering broad-spectrum protection against microbial contamination in feed and water treatment, enhancing biosecurity and overall farm hygiene.
In December 2023, INEOS, a UK-based chemical company, acquired Eastman Chemical for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to expand INEOS's global acetyls footprint and strengthen its position in organic acid products. Eastman Chemical, based in the US, supplies specialty materials, advanced chemicals, and additives across diverse industries including automotive, healthcare, agriculture, and consumer goods.
