The global Boric Acid market stood at approximately 950 thousand tonnes in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.45% during the forecast period until 2034.
Boric acid, scientifically known as orthoboric acid (H3BO3), is a white crystalline substance renowned for its versatile applications and distinctive qualities. Derived from boron, it serves as a mild, monobasic Lewis acid and is commonly found in the form of odourless, colourless crystals, readily soluble in water to produce a mildly acidic solution, useful as a buffering agent. Additionally, boric acid forms stable complexes with certain metals, acts as a flame retardant, and exhibits insecticidal properties, contributing to its utility in pest control. The multifaceted nature of boric acid underpins its extensive utilization across various industrial, medical, and household domains. In the industrial sector, it acts as a flux in glass production, a fire retardant in textiles and plastics, and a glaze component in ceramics. Within pharmaceuticals, it is present in antiseptic ointments, eye washes, and vaginal suppositories. Agriculture utilizes it as both an insecticide and a micronutrient fertilizer. Additionally, it is employed in wood preservation as well. Notably, boric acid serves as a wood preservative against fungi attacks and helps to rectify boron deficits in plants.
The demand for boric acid is experiencing a notable upsurge across various commercial sectors, particularly in the construction industry where it finds extensive utilization. The significant global expansion of the construction sector, which heavily relies on boric acid, is a key driver fuelling the growth in boric acid consumption. The growing construction activities in developing nations like China and India have led to an increased usage of fiberglass in building and construction. This surge in fiberglass utilization contributes to the expansion of the market for boric acid. Additionally, boric acid finds application in the oil and gas industry as a pH and viscosity modifier, further driving market growth. Moreover, rising demand from sectors such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics is bolstering the expansion of the boric acid market. Increasing investments in glass manufacturing, cosmetics, and construction sectors are propelled by growing populations and higher disposable incomes in emerging economies. Moreover, the surging demand from the renewable energy sector significantly impacts the global boric acid market. The global Boric Acid market is likely to reach approximately 1660 thousand tonnes in 2034.
Based on region, Asia Pacific region is anticipated to dominate as the largest consumer of Boric Acid globally, primarily driven by several factors. This dominance is projected to be driven by several factors specific to the region. These factors might include the rapid industrialization and economic growth witnessed in many countries within the Asia Pacific region, which leads to increased demand for boric acid across various industries such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and industrial manufacturing. Additionally, factors like population growth, urbanization, and the increasing adoption of energy-saving appliances and insulation materials in commercial and residential buildings further contribute to the high consumption of boric acid in the region. Overall, these combined factors position the Asia Pacific region as the dominant market for boric acid consumption on a global scale.
