Factors Affecting the Growth of the Boric Acid Industry:

• Rising Demand in Feminine Hygiene & Personal Care Products:

Boric acid is becoming increasingly popular in feminine hygiene products due to its ability to balance pH levels and fight off microbes, which helps to combat odor, itching, and infections. The global feminine hygiene market, which was worth USD 29.1 billion in 2024, is expected to grow at a rate of 4.15% per year, reaching USD 43.7 billion by 2033, and driving up demand for products that contain boric acid. Brands like Monistat now offer wipes with boric acid. These products appeal to consumers who want natural and effective solutions for intimate health. As people become more aware of vaginal health, manufacturers add boric acid to cleansers, suppositories, and washes. This trend helps expand the market.

• Critical Role in Clean Energy & Advanced Materials:

Boric acid is key for many renewable energy technologies. This includes lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, and energy storage systems. By 2024, global clean energy investments should exceed USD 3 trillion. So, the demand for boric acid in energy uses is growing fast. Companies like 5E Advanced Materials are increasing production. They concentrate on boric acid in boron-based compounds. These compounds are key for electric vehicles and sustainable infrastructure. Boric acid also helps fiberglass insulation, which promotes energy-efficient buildings and nuclear shielding.

• Regulatory & Environmental Factors Influencing Market Growth:

Strict regulations on chemical safety and sustainability are reshaping the boric acid industry. Boric acid stands out because it breaks down easily and is low in toxicity. However, limits on boron exposure are restricting its industrial use. On the other hand, the growing demand for eco-friendly pesticides and wood preservatives is making boric acid more popular, as it replaces toxic alternatives and increases demand from farmers. But supply chain problems and mining restrictions in places like Turkey, which has large boron reserves, are affecting prices and availability. This is driving innovation in extraction and recycling methods.
