Growing applications in food processing industry
The rising applications in the food processing industry are offering a favorable India tartaric acid market outlook. Tartaric acid is used by manufacturers as an acid, preservative, and stabilizer in a variety of food products. It improves the texture, flavor, and shelf life of processed food items, making it an essential ingredient in confectionery, bakery, and dairy goods. It is being employed in jams, jellies, and fruit juices to retain acidity and enhance stability, as packaged and convenience food products have become popular. Tartaric acid is utilized in the bakery industry to increase dough quality and leavening in bread and pastries. Another important contributor is the beverage sector, which adds tartaric acid to soft drinks, energy drinks, and flavored drinks for its sour flavor and stabilizing effects. Furthermore, the need for natural and organic food additives is increasing, leading food manufacturers to prefer tartaric acid over synthetic alternatives. As food safety rules have become more stringent, the demand for effective preservatives, such as tartaric acid is high. As India’s food processing industry continues to expand, the requirement for tartaric acid is growing, making it an essential component in various food item applications. As per the IBEF, the food processing industry in India is set to attain USD 735.5 Billion, at a CAGR of 8.8% during 2023-2032.
Rising demand in pharmaceuticals
