Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Phosphotungstic Acid Market size is set to register over 4.9% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037.
This growth is on the back of the rising demand for phosphotungstic acid in multiple industries such as scientific research and development services, biotechnology, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Phosphotungstic acid (PTA) is a heteropoly acid that is less permeable to the beam of an electron microscope and is extensively used in scientific research and development, which was valued at over USD 225 billion in the United States alone for the year 2020.
Phosphotungstic acid is mainly used in the precipitation of proteins in various applications which has earned it the title of universal precipitant.As per latest report, India’s biotechnology industry grew from about USD 30 billion to over USD 65 billion in the span of 5 years by 2020. The growing demand for precipitation of proteins in biotechnological applications are likely to boost the growth of the global phosphotungstic acid market over the assessment period.
