Key Highlights of the Citric Acid Price Chart- Q1 2024

The citric acid market is primarily driven by its extensive use across various industries, including food and beverage (F&B), pharmaceuticals, and personal care. In the food and beverage (F&B) sector, citric acid is valued for its role as a natural preservative, flavor enhancer, and acidulant, essential for maintaining the freshness and taste of products. The increasing demand for ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, processed food products, and confectioneries is significantly propelling the market growth. In the pharmaceutical industry, citric acid is utilized for its anticoagulant properties and as an excipient in drug formulations, which is contributing to the market growth. The rising trend of natural and organic ingredients in personal care products is also driving its demand, as citric acid is commonly used in cosmetics and skincare products for pH adjustment and as a chelating agent.

 

Factors Influencing Citric Acid Prices Analysis - Q1 2024

In North America

In the first quarter of 2024, North America experienced notable fluctuations and price increases in the citric acid market. Production slowdowns and maintenance shutdowns led to constrained supplies, while export restrictions and increased freight charges exacerbated the situation. The dependency on Chinese imports further complicated matters as disruptions in Chinese provinces during the Lunar New Year limited supply and raised prices. Post-holiday, global demand surged due to geopolitical tensions, trade disruptions, and increased container freight rates, causing another spike in March.

In Asia Pacific Region

In the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, citric acid prices remained mostly stable with specific fluctuations in certain countries. Consistent demand from the pharmaceutical and food processing industries supported prices and maintained a positive market sentiment. However, production slowdowns during the Chinese Lunar New Year and Spring Festival led to higher demand and low inventories in February, exacerbated by rising freight costs and logistical challenges. After the holidays, a surge in purchasing, driven by consumer confidence and favorable sentiment, led to price adjustments by suppliers to match heightened demand.

 

In Europe Region

The European market for citric acid in the first quarter of 2024 was marked by a fluctuating landscape influenced by multiple factors. This decline was part of a broader downturn driven by Germany's strategic pricing adjustments aimed at maintaining global competitiveness. Reduced raw material costs in Germany, fueled by weakened demand projections and reduced manufacturing activity in the Eurozone, significantly influenced the market.
