Industry and News Potassium Carbonate Market | Page 2

On the use of electrolysis, potassium chloride is converted into potassium hydroxide with the help
of carbon dioxide which then forms into potassium carbonate. Potassium carbonate counteracts
acids exothermally to form salts and water. Potassium carbonate is comparatively non-toxic and
considered as a weak base. Potassium carbonate irritates when it comes in contact with eyes and
skin. If swallowed, it may cause burns from mouth to stomach.
Potassium Carbonate Market is classified, by product type into Food Grade, Industrial Grade, Light
and Heavy Density, and others. Potassium Carbonate Market is classified, by application into Food,
Medicine, Light Industry Raw Materials, Glass Industry, Inorganic Chemicals, and others.
The glass industry segment is leading the potassium carbonate market, as it is the largest consumer
in manufacturing specialty glasses that also include television tunes. On the other hand,
pharmaceutical industry segment is expected to grow at fastest pace over the forecast period.
Pharmaceutical industry segment consists of manufacturing medicines and agricultural fertilizers
that are sensitive to chloride ions.

In food industry, potassium carbonate is widely used as an additive in wine making. Moreover, it is a
common ingredient in club soda, also added to a packaged drinking water to affect taste. It is also
used in gunpowder as a constant source of energy. Potassium Carbonate Market is segmented,
geographically into North America, Europe (Eastern Europe, Western Europe), Asia Pacific, Latin
America, Middle East and Africa.
Globally, Asia Pacific region registered highest market share of the Potassium Carbonate in 2016,
the reason for growth is large applications for food grade potassium carbonate in the food industry.
Whereas, it is likely that developed regions such as North America and Europe are expected to grow
at fastest pace over the forecast period, the reason being increasing use of potassium carbonate
consumption in the agriculture and pharmaceutical industries.
