pH Buffer Solution Market Drivers and Opportunities

Strong Growth of Pharmaceutical Industry  

The pharmaceutical industries stand at the forefront of innovation and precision, demanding solutions that ensure accurate product formulation and the quality of products. Countries such as the US, Germany, France, Italy, China, Japan, and South Korea are the key enablers of global pharmaceutical market growth; this is mainly attributed to the significant population base and the rising number of pharmaceutical companies. According to the information provided by the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA), the biopharmaceutical industry employs approximately 5.5 million people worldwide, including manufacturing generic medicines. Further, Asia Pacific is home to more than 60% of the global population, which is an immense commercial opportunity for biopharmaceutical, medical device, and healthcare companies. The region has also emerged as one of the world's most prominent healthcare technology investment destinations. Thus, the strong presence of the pharmaceutical industry drives the pH buffer solution market.

Rapid Growth in Food Industry  

The rising demand for fermented, highly nutritional, and tasty food creates the need for maintaining specific pH values for optimum activity of enzymes, protein solubility, and functionality. pH buffers are utilized in food and beverages to maintain the product's constant acidity. Since the pH buffer solution comprises a weak acid and its conjugate base, additives such as metal salts are usually added to a food that already contains a weak acid. For example, sodium citrate (salt/base) is added to a food containing citric acid, which might create a buffer solution in the product. Sodium, calcium, and potassium citrate are common salt forms of food-grade buffers added to food products. Monopotassium phosphate is also commonly used as a pH buffer solution in milk and custard products, as well as cooked meats.
