Market Growth Factors

Rising consumption of convenience foods

Convenience food consumption has grown substantially due to rising disposable income and changing consumer lifestyles. Customers are looking for food products that are not only convenient but also healthy and safe as they become more health concerned. On the market for food emulsifiers, new trends and changes in consumer behaviour may also have a significant impact. The market has expanded significantly, partly due to the popularity of convenience foods. The market is anticipated to rise gradually because of this trend in the upcoming years.

Modified Food texture offers financial advantages

Customers throughout the world want products to be more natural and want to consume a lesser amount of sugar. Consumer preference for clear labeling continues influencing protein and sugar reduction options for texture replacement. To reduce prices and make their products more accessible to everyone, firms could utilize texture techniques to enhance the sensory experience. Food texture is crucial when it comes to how customers perceive food & beverages. The ice creams that people prefer mostly to eat have various textures. By including more air in a recipe, this is accomplished. Food texture will remain an important focus throughout the projected period and drive significant market expansion.

Market Restraining Factors

Challenges in the Cost and Supply Chain

Texturizers and food additives can be expensive and changes in the price of raw materials can impact the production cost. In addition, supply chain disruptions and complexity may impact these substances' availability and price. Compounds that are "closer to nature" and more familiar to consumers are being sought after on product labels, with texturizing compounds taking the lead. Due to previous price rises, manufacturers have been attempting to maintain the multiple beneficial characteristics of LBG using less expensive components. The cost and supply chain challenges will cause the market to be constrained.

Application Outlook

Based on application, the market is classified into dairy products & ice creams, confectionery, jams, layers, fillings, bakery, ready meals, sauces & others, beverage, and meat products. The bakery segment covered a considerable revenue share in the market in 2022. The texture of these products greatly impacts how they taste overall and how appealing they are to consumers. Bakery products often use texture-improving ingredients like gelling agents, emulsifiers, and thickeners.

Product Outlook

By product, the market is fragmented into natural, and synthetic. The synthetic segment garnered a significant revenue share in the market in 2022. Food additives used by food companies to improve the mouthfeel and texture of various food products are synthetic food textures. Despite the continuous controversy surrounding their use, synthetic food textures have several potential advantages, including increased stability, texture augmentation, reduced calorie content, etc.

Type Outlook

On the basis of type, the market is segmented into gums, pectins, gelatins, starch, inulin, dextrins, others, and cellulose derivatives. In 2022, the cellulose derivatives segment dominated the market with the maximum revenue share. Due to growing customer demand for products with clear labels & ingredients derived entirely from nature, the need for cellulose derivatives has expanded. This derivative is a clean-label option for synthetic or chemically altered substances because it is sourced from plant and natural sources.

Regional Outlook

Region wise, the market is analysed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2022, the North America region witnessed the largest revenue share in the market. Natural ingredients and clear labels are emphasized in the regional market. Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about the ingredients used in food and they are still looking for goods with easier-to-read ingredient lists. This has increased demand for natural thickeners, stabilizers, and organic and clean-label texture solutions.
