China’s Growing Position In The Potassium Citrate Market

The demand for potassium citrate is highest in Asia and the Pacific. Potassium citrate is mostly produced and exported from China. China's major market for exported potassium supplements is the United States. Its export levels are exceptionally high compared to those of other regions.

As a result of the cheaper cost of producing potassium supplements in the region, firms can offer relatively low prices in order to stay competitive. Because of its wide range of applications (preservative, emulsifier, etc.), potassium citrate was most widely used in the food and beverage industry across the country as well as Asia Pacific. One major reason for its widespread use is that the area has less severe laws for food additives.

Manufacturers operating in the potassium citrate market have a significant presence in China. These include Foodchem International Corporation, Huangshi Xinghua Biochemical, RZBC Group Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Mupro IFT Corporation. It is anticipated that the expansion of China's detergent, agrochemical, fertilizer, metal surface treatment, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries is expected to have a beneficial effect on the APAC potassium citrate market.

Rising Adoption As an Emulsifier

In terms of application, emulsifier was the most prominent sub-segment in 2022, accounting for 20.2% of total potassium citrate volume over the world. Margarine, creamy sauce, mayonnaise, sweets, packaged processed meals, confections, and baked goods are just some of the many food items that make use of this market area, all of which bodes well for its future expansion.

Growing sausage consumption in Europe is expected to increase demand for emulsifiers in processed meat in the region. For the meat proteins, water, and fat that make up a sausage to stay cohesively connected to one another, stable emulsification is required.
