Oxalic acid (C2H2O4), or ethanedioic acid/oxalate, is a crystalline, toxic, colorless, organic compound that is commonly found in many plants, including nuts, vegetables, fruits, leafy greens, cocoa, and seeds. It is also produced in the human body by the metabolism of ascorbic acid or glyoxylic acid. The acid is soluble in alcohol, water, and ether and has three product grades, namely an aqueous solution, anhydrous, and dihydrate. The compound can be manufactured using four methods, including heating sodium formate with an alkali catalyst, heating sawdust with caustic alkalies, oxidizing carbohydrates with nitric acid, or fermenting sugar solutions with molds. Oxalic acid is primarily used as an acid rinse in laundries due to its effectiveness in removing ink and rust stains. It is also the chief constituent of many commercial preparations that are used for removing scale from automobile radiators.
The primary factor driving the oxalic acid market growth is the rapidly expanding pharmaceutical industry across the globe. Oxalic acid is extensively used to manufacture various drugs, such as borneol, achromycin, terramycin, and antibiotics. Moreover, the rising use of oxalic acid in cleaning and bleaching products for various household and industrial applications is another factor contributing to the market growth. Moreover, the surging use of oxalic acid in the recycling process to extract cobalt and lithium from waste batteries is boosting the market growth. In the metal polishing industry, the product is used in umpteen surface treatments of metals, including surface polishing, metal recovery & purification, rust removal, and alumite film processing, which is creating a positive outlook for the market. Additionally, oxalic acid is witnessing a significant demand in the chemical industry as a key precursor to produce salts and esters, industrial chemicals, fine chemicals, oxalates, and phenol resin catalysts, which is accelerating the market growth. Other factors, such as the increasing consumer awareness regarding the health benefits of oxalic acid and the surging research and development activities, are providing an impetus to the market growth.
