Industries manily select an optimal temperature which is high enough to increase the reaction rate (molecules colliding with each other at higher fequencies) and at the same time is balanced to avoid any side effect. This effectively yields high quality production without any wastage or leading to harmful results while ensuring safety of the consumers too.
Endothermic reaction is a reaction which absorbs heat energy from the surrounding, making the environment cooler. The products have higher enthalpy than the reactants in this reaction.
On the other hand, Exothermic reaction is a reaction which releases heat energy into the surrounding, making the environment warmer. The products will have lower enthalpy than the reactants in this reaction.
This happens because although they have the same temeprature constant, some of their other properties can also vary such as activation energies, surface area of the reaction, concentration of the reactant, etc. As a result, the rate of a reaction comes out to be different for the reactions because of their dependence on these factors.
