Ammonium carbonate is a white, odorless salt with molecular formula NH4CO3. It is also known as sal volatile or baking ammonia and exists in crystal form. Ammonium carbonate finds application in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, detergents & cleaners, agriculture, and others. The increasing demand for ammonium carbonate from the food & beverage industry to enhance the taste of bakery products has been driving its market growth significantly over the past few years. In addition to this, growing demand for ammonium carbonate from other end-use industries such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemical have further augmented its market growth during the forecast period.
The increasing popularity of artisanal bread among consumers has been boosting the demand for ammonium bicarbonate due to its capability to provide golden crust coloration while baking bread products such as croissants and baguettes resulting in an increase of preference of bakery items made with organic ingredients which further drives up their prices making it difficult for them available on mass scale leading towards new trends within artisanal bakeries that use recipes using lower cost ingredients including ammonium bicarbonates instead of sodium bicarbonates providing higher yields reducing production costs thereby captivating more customers alongwith maintaining quality standards.
Growing consumer preference for convenience foods coupled with time constraint lifestyle especially among urban population have resulted into increased consumption processed packaged foods which require certain processing technique involving leavening process requiring agents like baking soda (ammonia bicarbonates) leading towards rising product demands globally resulting into overall market expansion consequently fuelling up sales revenues derived from same by manufacturers operating across industry verticals. Apart from this , burgeoning awareness about health benefits associated with usage of natural ingredients based consumables further fuels up healthy eating habits amongst consumers worldwide stimulating commercialization opportunities related to same.
Due to the global pandemic, the demand for ammonium carbonate has decreased significantly in Indonesia. The country?s manufacturing and processing sectors have been hit hard due to reduced economic activity across all industries. This has resulted in a decrease in demand for ammonium carbonate from industrial customers.
One of the biggest challenges faced by Indonesia manufacturers of ammonium carbonate is rising raw material costs which are making it difficult for them to remain competitive in the market. Additionally, there is limited access to advanced production technology and machinery, as well as skilled labor that can operate these machines efficiently. This poses an additional challenge when trying to increase production capacity or create new products with better specifications that could attract more customers.
Key players operating within the Indonesia ammonium carbonate market include PT Indorama Synthetics Tbk., PT Panca Amara Utama, PT Inti Selaras Abadi Chemical Industry, PT Propan Raya Chemtech Industries, and CV Putra Prima Jaya Agung Chemical Industries.
