Segments - Boric Acid Market by Applications (Industry & Commercial and Household), Distribution Channels (Wholesale, E-Commerce, and Retail Shops), End-users (Ceramics, Tiles, Fiberglass, Agriculture, Wood Preservation, Pharmaceuticals, and Cosmetics), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031
The Global Boric Acid Market size was valued at USD 840.7 Million in 2022 and is expected to surpass USD 1.33 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. Boric acid is a weak acid that is used as an antiseptic and flame retardant. It is in colorless form or powder form and it is odorless and soluble in water. Boric acid is used to bind steel-smelting furnaces for manufacturing magnesia refractory bricks.
The COVID-19 pandemic affected the business across the globe. Governments of numerous countries across the world took lockdown measures to control the spread of the disease. This has resulted in the halt of manufacturing operations, restrictions on supply and transport, and infrastructure.
Increasing demand for boric acid in ceramics, wood preservatives, fiberglass, nutritional supplements, and pest control applications is driving the boric acid market.
Usage of boric acid is restricted in personal care applications can hamper the growth of the market.
Growing adoption of boric acid for making glass designs to decrease melting temperatures, increase thermal resistance & mechanical strength, and improve aqueous and chemical durability is projected to boost the boric acid market during the forecast period.

On the basis of applications, the market can be segmented into industry & commercial and household. The industry & commercial segment is estimated to exhibit a high CAGR during the forecast period. Boric acid is used as an energy-saving tool and also as an insulation for commercial and residential buildings. Boric acid is also used for generation of energy from oil extracts and the wind.
On the basis of distribution channels, the market can be divided into wholesale, e-commerce, and retail shops. The wholesale segment is anticipated to grow at a sustainable rate during the forecast period. The wholesale segment provides a large amount of boric acid at a cheap price as compared to other distribution channels. Industries require a large amount of boric acid for the formation of fiberglass and ceramics and the wholesale distribution channel provides them considerable discount as the quantity required by them is huge.
Based on the end-users the market is segregated into ceramics, tiles, fiberglass, agriculture, wood preservation, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. The fiberglass segment is anticipated to grow at a robust rate during the forecast period. High demand for the fiberglass and glass in the market is propelling the segment growth. It helps in reducing the melting temperature and provides mechanical strength. However, the ceramics and tiles segments are also anticipated to have a significant market share during the forecast period due to increasing construction activities in emerging economies.
In terms of regions the market can be divided into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific accounted for a large share of the market in 2020, and is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. The huge availability of glass and ceramic manufacturers in the region is propelling the market growth.
Moreover, rapid industrialization and growing construction industry in countries such as China and India are major factors that are spurring the regional market growth. However, the market in North America is projected to hold a significant market share, and is expected to register a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
The key players in the market are 3M Company, Avantor Performance Materials, LLC, Eti Maden, Gujarat Boron Derivatives, Minera Santa Rita S.R.L., Organic Industries Pvt. Ltd. and QUIBORAX S.A. These players engage in mergers & acquisitions, collaborations, agreements, and partnerships to strengthen their geographical presence.
