In 2023–2024, Turkey and the United States were the leading exporters of Boric Acid (CAS 10043-35-3), accounting for a substantial majority of global shipments, while China, Germany, and South Korea ranked among the top importers by volume and value. Boric Acid prices remained relatively stable during this period amid consistent demand from flame retardant, glass, and agricultural sectors. Exports from Turkey showed modest growth, reinforcing its position as the world’s largest supplier, while U.S. exports held steady and Chinese imports declined slightly amid domestic production expansion.
Boric acid is a white, crystalline solid with a faint, characteristic odor; it is non-volatile, odorless in pure form, and melts at approximately 170 °C with decomposition. It is an inorganic weak acid and the most commercially important boron-containing compound. Boric acid serves as a key precursor in the production of borosilicate glass, fiberglass, flame retardants, and ceramic glazes. It is widely used in the manufacture of sodium perborate bleach, wood preservatives, and as a micronutrient in fertilizers. Typical application areas include glass and ceramics, flame-retardant materials, metallurgy, and certain pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations.
