Boric acid, a versatile compound used across a wide range of industries, is gaining increasing relevance in global trade and industrial production. Its use in high-performance glass, ceramics, agriculture, and electronics is driving notable demand, particularly for high-purity grades. This article outlines the key market trends, regional dynamics, and the role of leading suppliers like Tradeasia International in supporting global boric acid demand.

Boric Acid Global Market Size & Growth Forecast

According to IMARC, the global boric acid market was valued at USD 936.0 million in 2024. The market is expected to witness steady expansion, driven by its broad application base and growing consumption across industrial sectors.

Purity Trends: Dominance of ≥99% Boric Acid

The ≥99% purity boric acid segment holds the largest share of the market, accounting for approximately 88.6% in 2024. This high-purity grade is essential for advanced applications where performance, consistency, and quality are non-negotiable — such as in optical-grade glass, technical ceramics, and high-end agricultural inputs.

Key Applications Driving Demand

High-Performance Glass

Boric acid is a core ingredient in the production of LCD displays, optical lenses, and heat-resistant glassware. Its role in enhancing thermal and chemical durability makes it indispensable in the electronics and specialty glass sectors.

Ceramics, Fiberglass, and Agriculture

The ceramics and fiberglass segment leads the market with a 26.7% share in 2024. Boric acid improves durability, reduces melting temperature, and supports better mechanical strength in ceramic and fiberglass manufacturing.

In agriculture, boric acid is increasingly used as a micronutrient in fertilizers, enhancing crop yield and soil health — particularly in micronutrient-deficient regions.
