Market Scope

The food thickeners market could anticipate a CAGR of 5.9% over the evaluation period (2023 - 2030), reveals Market Research Future (MRFR). MRFR expects the amplified preference for convenience foods, confectionery and bakery products worldwide to be a major reason for the strong demand for food thickeners in the food sector.

Key Boosters and Restraints

The dramatic growth of the food sector, especially the bakery and dairy sectors have been quite favorable for the food thickeners market insights. Factors including frequent product development, soaring consumer preferences for premium quality products, and strict food regulations will further facilitate market growth in the upcoming years. 

Food thickeners like hydrocolloids, proteins, and starch have extensive applications within the baking industry, where these are predominantly utilized as stabilizing, gelling, and thickening agents. Additionally, mounting consumption of ready-to-eat, protein-rich snacks will also enhance the demand for food thickeners in the following years.

Affluent Vendors

Ingredion Incorporated (U.S.), Archer Daniels Midland (U.S.), Kerry Group Plc (Ireland), Cargill (U.S.), E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (U.S.), Tate & Lyle PLC (U.K.), TIC Gums (U.S.) are the top food thickener developers highlighted in the extensive study.

These firms channelize their attempts at developing cutting-edge technologies & products, utilizing innovative techniques to produce cost-effective products. They also strive to bring down risks in their supply chains to strictly adhere to the delivery needs. Big multinational firms are collaborating with smaller vendors to gain a stronghold in regional markets. Another strategic move made by these companies is focusing on expanding their production capacity, to accommodate the rapid increase in the product demand.

To illustrate, in November 2021, CP Kelco introduced Kelcogel DFA Gellan Gum, which is a dual-function, single-ingredient solution for use in dairy alternative beverages. With the company’s newly launched gellan gum grade product, manufacturers will be able to deliver a cleaner product label and also bring down the total costs while maintaining the quality.
