The food glazing agents market is projected to record a CAGR of 8.69% during the forecast period (2022-2027).

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the food additives market was affected, from the procurement of raw materials to the production of end products.

Due to strict lockdowns and social distancing measures, many food processing industries were shut down, negatively impacting the food glazing manufacturing industries worldwide.

The food glazing agents market is significantly influenced by two broad factors - increasing consumption of bakery and confectionery products and increasing awareness among consumers regarding different foods. Both these factors are particularly prominent in the case of European and American countries.

Furthermore, growing urbanization and high-income consumers in these regions are cited as major reasons for the market’s growth. Consumers are more concerned about the attractiveness of bakery and confectionery products. These glazing agents are also used as a protective coating for food.

The increased demand for convenience and processed foods, such as ready-to-eat foods, ready-to-drink beverages, snacks, and frozen meals, is one of the significant factors driving the food glazings agents market. Food additives are extensively used in these products to preserve the freshness, safety, taste, appearance, and texture of processed foods. For instance, emulsifiers bind water and oil together in an emulsion, thus playing an important role in many low-fat processed foods. Rising consumer preference toward texture and appearance due to confectionery and bakery consumption, particularly in China, India, and Brazil, may drive the food glazing agents market in the mentioned countries.
