China and India are the leading exporters of Potassium Citrate (CAS 866-84-2), accounting for the majority of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, Germany, and Japan represent the largest importing markets. Imports into the U.S. and EU have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth aligned with steady demand from pharmaceutical and food-grade applications, while fluctuations in Potassium Citrate prices have tracked closely with raw material costs and regional regulatory shifts.
Potassium citrate is a white, crystalline, odorless solid that is highly soluble in water and hygroscopic under ambient conditions; it decomposes before melting, with no well-defined boiling point. It is the tripotassium salt of citric acid and is classified as an organic salt and food-grade chemical intermediate. Primarily used as a buffering and pH-controlling agent, it serves in pharmaceutical formulations (e.g., urinary alkalinizers), food and beverage applications (as an acidity regulator and preservative), and nutritional supplements (as a potassium source). It is also employed in electroplating baths and as a chelating agent in detergent and cleaning product formulations.
