By 2033, the food thickening agents market could be worth more than USD 3.93 billion, compared to USD 2.70 billion in 2023, according to FMI’s estimations. The market is probably going to show a moderate CAGR of 4% over this evaluation period.
The food and beverage industry has been going through an innovation period due to the client demand for nutritious and delectable ingredients. Companies have been driven by the convergence of technology and the food and beverage sector to improve the appeal of their goods. They also intend to offer high-quality solutions that are reasonably priced.
The food-thickening agents market is primarily driven by increased consumer awareness of contemporary culinary products, easy accessibility, and quickly changing lifestyles. Increased consumption of processed foods, growing consumer awareness of a healthy diet, and stricter governmental food regulations are projected to emerge as significant factors driving consumption throughout the projection period.
The food and beverage sectors have been quite supportive of the clean-labeling movement. Businesses are focusing on creating clean-label products for the market as a consequence. Therefore, the demand for food-thickening agents derived from organic resources, such as plants and seaweeds, has increased.
The rising demand for food-thickening agents from the obese and diabetic populations is another key reason for their rising popularity. Since people now consider their health to be a primary concern, there has been a discernible movement in consumer preference away from items that include fat.
Given their ability to substitute calories with fat, thickening agents like starches and gums are becoming extremely prevalent as fat alternatives. This has increased consumer appetite for these products and has had an impact on this market in particular.
Food thickening agents were initially used as a crucial component in the bakery sector. There is a strong demand for bread and other bakery items worldwide that mandates the application of thickeners during manufacturing. The market is moving forward as a result of these key aspects.
