Formic acid is commonly used in textile dyeing and finishing processes. It serves as a reducing agent and pH adjuster, contributing to improved dyeing efficiency and colour fixation. The growth of the textile industry increases the demand for formic acid in dyeing applications. Formic acid is widely used in the leather industry, particularly in tanning. Formic acid helps achieve uniform and efficient tanning, resulting in high-quality leather. The expansion of the leather industry drives the demand for formic acid as a key component in tanning processes. These, such as citric acid, are dye-fixing agents in textiles. They help improve the fastness of dyes on fabrics, ensuring vibrant and long-lasting colours. Additionally, modern consumers are more conscious of their food and product choices and prefer clean labels. These, sourced from natural raw materials and often produced through fermentation, are considered clean and transparent ingredients. They contribute to formulating products with simple, easily understandable labels, meeting consumer expectations. There is a global trend away from synthetic additives and chemicals in food and other consumer products. The acids, being naturally occurring compounds, are favoured over synthetic alternatives. Thus, because of the growing demand for natural and clean-label products, the market is anticipated to increase significantly.

However, producing organic acids, particularly through fermentation processes, can be costly. High production costs may limit the competitiveness of these compared to traditional petrochemical-based acids. Finding cost-effective production methods is essential for market sustainability. Producers of these may face reduced profit margins due to high production costs. Limited profitability can hinder companies' incentive to invest in research, development, and expansion, potentially slowing down the overall growth of the market. Higher prices can deter potential consumers from adopting these in various applications. Industries seeking cost-effective solutions may be less inclined to incorporate these, affecting market demand. Therefore, high production costs of the meters are a significant challenge that hampers the growth of market.
