Despite the positive growth prospects, the boric acid market is facing certain restraints that could hinder its growth trajectory. A primary hindrance is the stringent regulations imposed by various governments regarding the usage of boric acid in consumer products, which is impacting the overall market demand. Additionally, the fluctuating prices of raw materials such as boron ore are posing a challenge for market players in terms of cost management and pricing strategies. These restraints could potentially slow down the growth of the boric acid market in the coming years.
