The global organic acids market is estimated at USD 15.9 billion in 2024, supported by robust consumption across food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and industrial intermediates. Demand growth is underpinned by the rising use of citric, lactic, and acetic acids as natural preservatives, feed additives, and bio-based chemical inputs. Asia-Pacific leads the global market, holding nearly 50% of consumption in 2024, anchored by large-scale fermentation capacity in China and India, competitive feedstock availability, and strong expansion in food processing and chemical manufacturing industries. Meanwhile, North America and Europe sustain higher value share, driven by FDA, EFSA, and REACH compliance along with growing demand for high-purity pharmaceutical and specialty-grade organic acids.
