The tartaric acid market in North America saw notable fluctuations due to various factors. During the holiday season in the USA, inflated customer expense during major events augmented demand for tartaric acid, driving prices higher. Production costs rose as a result of a shortage of essential raw materials such as maleic anhydride. Moreover, the devaluation of the US currency against several other currencies made imports costlier, further limiting domestic supply and pushing prices up.
