Potassium Metabisulfite Market Analysis

The potassium metabisulphite market is projected to register a CAGR of more than 4% during the forecast period (2021-2026).

The market growth is hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, as lockdowns, social distances, and trade sanctions have triggered massive disruptions to global supply chain networks. Due to lockdowns in various countries, most of the industries or factories were temporarily shut down and have impacted the growth of the food and beverage segment. On the other hand, this pandemic has provided new possibilities for pharmaceuticals and textile industries in areas such as rising demand for chemical modifiers/oxidants and PPE suits, among others.

  • Over the medium term, the growing demand in the food and beverage industry and increasing usage in the textiles industry are likely to drive the market.
  • On the flip side, the presence of substitutes such as sodium and ammonium metabisulfite is likely to hinder the growth of the market.
  • The European region dominated the market across the world, with the largest consumption from countries such as Germany and United Kingdom.

Potassium Metabisulfite Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Potassium Metabisulfite Market according to our research experts:

Increasing Demand from the Food and Beverage Segment

  • Potassium metabisulfite, also called potassium pyrosulfite, is a white crystalline powder having a pungent odor. It has a monoclinic crystal structure due to which gives potassium sulfite and sulfur dioxide on decomposition.
  • The growing use of potassium metabisulfite as an additive in wine owing to its antioxidant properties is stimulating the demand for potassium metabisulfite. During the process of winemaking, potassium metabisulfite reacts to form sulfur dioxide, which helps to protect the color and delicate flavors of wine.
  • Potassium metabisulfite is used in the brewing industry as a stabilizer to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi. It is also added to tap water during the process of disinfection for neutralizing monochloramine.
  • Additionally, potassium metabisulfite is also used as a food preservative in lemon juice and pickles.
  • The significant growth in the food and beverage industry is propelling the demand for potassium metabisulfite across the world.
  • According to Statista Market Forecast, the revenue from the food and beverage segment is estimated at USD 276,904 million in 2021. The revenue is expected to show a CAGR of over 8% during the period 2021-2025, and it is expected to reach USD 379,650 million by 2025.
  • Owing to all the above-mentioned factors for potassium metabisulfite, its market is expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period.
