Tartaric acid market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.77%, in terms of value
Grapes & sun-dried raisins segment is projected to be the fastest-growing in the tartaric acid market
Grapes are largely used for wine making; growth in the wine industry in terms of consumption is attributed to the larger market share of grapes & sun-dried raisins as the concentration of tartaric acid in grapes is the highest as compared to other fruits such as apricots and apples. European countries constitute a majority of grapes produced across the globe, of which a significant amount goes for the manufacturing of tartaric acid. Tartaric acid is also procured from the wine making process in the form of crystals, which are further processed to make tartaric acid.
Grapes and dried grapes, known as raisins, are the only fruits containing significant levels of tartaric acid in the temperate regions of the world as compared to other fruits containing tartaric acid such as apricots, tamarind, and apples. Sun-dried raisins have beneficial effects due to their fiber content. To maintain a healthy digestive system, tartaric acid and fiber in raisins work synergistically.
Natural tartaric acid segment is projected to be the fastest-growing in the tartaric acid market
Natural tartaric acid is derived from fruits such as grapes and sun-dried raisins, and other sources such as bananas, tamarind, and apricots. The growing food and pharmaceutical industries imposes a high demand for tartaric acid. Natural tartaric acid is majorly used in food and pharmaceuticals, and is labeled as food-grade tartaric acid. Natural tartaric acid is chiral in nature (molecules of the tartaric acid are non-superimposable on their mirror images).
Food & beverage is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the tartaric acid market
The food & beverage segment held the largest share in 2016. This segment is also projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growing demand for packaged food in economies around the world is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period. Tartaric acid, especially food grade, is used in the baking of breads and cakes. Due to its acidic properties, it is used in baking powder with baking soda. Tartaric acid is also useful in the manufacture of confectionery items such as candies.
European region held the largest share of the tartaric acid market in 2016
The European region held the largest share in 2016, followed by the North American region, in value terms. This is due to better consumption levels for wine and other food items, where tartaric acid acts as one of the key ingredients. The increasing penetration of tartaric acid in European industries, for chelating agents, is also expected to fuel the already high demand for tartaric acid in the region.
