Potassium metabisulphite is a common inorganic compound, usually in the form of white crystalline powder or granules. It has reducing, antioxidant and antibacterial properties, and is widely used in food, brewing, pharmaceutical and water treatment industries. In the food industry, potassium metabisulphite is mainly used as an antioxidant and preservative, which can effectively prevent food oxidation and deterioration and microbial contamination, and extend the shelf life of food. In the brewing industry, it is widely used in the production process of wine and beer to control microbial activity during fermentation and prevent wine oxidation and deterioration. In addition, potassium metabisulphite is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a stabilizer and preservative for certain drugs.

Market Trends

In the field of food and beverages, this product is widely used as an antioxidant, preservative and bleaching agent, especially in the processing of fruits and vegetables, storage of dried fruits and juice manufacturing, which helps to extend the shelf life of products, inhibit the growth of microorganisms and prevent browning. In the brewing industry, potassium metabisulphite is one of the indispensable auxiliary materials in the manufacture of red wine and beer, used to inhibit bacteria, prevent oxidation and maintain the quality of the wine. As consumers pay more attention to food safety, flavor retention and natural additives, the use of potassium metabisulphite is shifting towards a more standardized, scientific and low-dose direction.

Market Disadvantages

The amount of its addition to food is strictly limited, because excessive use will release sulfur dioxide, which may cause health problems such as respiratory irritation and allergic reactions, especially posing a potential risk to asthma patients. There are many low-end products on the market with different quality, which has damaged the overall image of the industry and affected the expansion of the high-end market. In addition, potassium metabisulphite is easy to absorb moisture and decompose, and needs to maintain good sealing and dry conditions during storage and transportation, which increases the difficulty of logistics and warehousing.

Market Outlook

As food safety regulations become increasingly stringent and consumers health awareness continues to improve, the market demand for high-purity, low-residue, and environmentally friendly products will rise rapidly, driving the industry to transform towards refined production and green manufacturing. Potassium metabisulphite is expected to expand more technical value in emerging application areas such as biofermentation, industrial disinfection, and electronic cleaning fluid formulations. In addition, the continued expansion of the global brewing and beverage market, especially in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, where population growth and consumption upgrades are significant, will drive the continued growth in demand for potassium metabisulphite.
