SYNTHETIC TARTARIC ACID MARKET OVERVIEW

Global synthetic tartaric acid size was anticipated to be valued at USD 0.52 billion in 2024, with a projected growth to USD 0.85 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period.

Synthetic tartaric acid, also known as DL-tartaric acid, is a compound that is chemically synthesized from maleic anhydride. Synthetic tartaric acid can be obtained from natural sources like grapes, tamarinds and date palm fruit pits. It has low toxicity level when compared to other acids such as citric acid or acetic acid. The synthetic tartaric acid is used in many industries like agriculture, food, cosmetics and detergents. This chemical is used as a food preservative or antioxidant. It is also an ingredient of some medicines and toothpastes. Furthermore, increased demand for synthetic tartaric acid as an excipient in effervescent tablet, powder, and granulate formulations will propel the synthetic tartaric acid market forward. Moreover, the rising trend of clean label ingredients and the shift towards natural alternatives are likely to drive the demand for synthetic tartaric acid.

Moreover, in drug formulations, increasing demand for synthetic tartaric acid, as an excipient, for the preparation of effervescent tablets, powder and granulates will be a prominent factor driving the growth of the synthetic tartaric acid market. Participants are fixing their efforts on encouraging R&D. Technological development are supporting the regional market growth. Manufacturers need to stay updated with changing market trends and develop products that meet growing consumer needs. Companies coming up with progressive technological solutions for firming their positions.
