Food Coating Ingredients Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product Type (Cocoa & Chocolates, Salt, Spices & Seasonings, Flours, Fats & Oils and Other Product Types), Form (Liquid and Dry), Application (Confectionery, Bakery, Breakfast Cereals, Dairy, Meat, Snack and Other Applications), and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Food Coating Ingredients Market is accounted for $3.79 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $6.67 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecast period. The term ""coating"" describes the method of applying a liquid or powder on a product in a specific pattern. The process design is influenced by a number of variables and a functioning production environment. It is a combination of theoretical knowledge and real-world experience, and it can only be claimed to be effective after several production runs. Historically, the majority of coating ingredients honey, sugar, chocolate, sauce came from nature and underwent minimum processing. There weren't many options, but there were big differences in quality. The variety of coating chemicals available today has greatly expanded, and they are developed to fulfil certain functions.

According to the Government of Canada, last year, Canada saw recorded retail sales of USD 6.6 billion worth of baked goods and is expected to reach USD 7.8 billion by 2026.

Market Dynamics

Driver

Rise in the consumption of bakery and confectionery goods

Due to children's growing need for sweets and baked goods, particularly those with chocolate coating, the consumption of wafer bars, pastries, bread, and cookies has greatly grown in recent years. In addition to enhancing flavour and texture, these coatings prevent moisture loss, extending the shelf life of the food. However, as demand for these products has grown, many technologically sophisticated techniques, such as electrostatic coating, have become available, speeding up production and satisfying consumer demand. Additionally, the demand for baked goods and sweets with natural and organic ingredient claims has expanded, and this idea has been developing in other areas, such as the food industry.

Restraint

Stringent rules and regulations

Government authorities' strict laws and restrictions regulating the substances used in clean-label coatings are impeding the market's expansion. For instance, the Delaney Clause has been used by the FDA and European Commission to prevent the use of synthetic colours as coatings in the food and beverage industry in the United States. However, these colours are still used in the European Union, where JECFA and the EFSA later concluded that their use is safe. Additionally, the market expansion is constrained by the high calorific values of several indulgent coating materials.

Opportunity

Expanding investment possibilities for the creation of novel food coating technologies

Customers are becoming more aware of numerous culinary trends as the impact of globalisation grows. Due to trade liberalisation, food manufacturing corporations are concurrently growing their operations globally. This growth has compelled food producers to go into undiscovered markets. Even domestic competitors are expanding their product lines to keep up with the market's growing rivalry. Notably, producers in China, India, and Japan have created their own food coating technology that can compete with imported equipment or offers from recognised industry leaders. Businesses prioritise innovation in their food coating technology to achieve a competitive edge in both home and foreign markets.

Threat

Increasing manufacturing costs as a result of variable ingredient costs

In the realm of food coating, the rising costs and unpredictability of ingredient variations have become major obstacles. The high cost of raw materials increases manufacturing costs and deters firms from using innovative coating processes. This is because food makers must wait longer to break even and have reduced profit margins as a result. Food coating machinery must offer economical solutions in terms of output and ingredient use to get around these problems. This is essential to offset the growing cost of ingredients and allow food producers to benefit from economies of scale.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 has caused consumption to soar, which has had an influence on practically every business. Because many people choose fresh, healthful food and are becoming more health aware, COVID-19 has various detrimental effects on the market for food coating components. The materials for food coating are used in a variety of applications in the food and beverage sector, including coating meat and meat products, bakery goods, confectionery goods, and snacks.

The sugars & syrups segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The sugars & syrups segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the processing industry have been using sugars and syrups as coating components for a long time. Sugar and syrups category led demand, which was then followed by flours. They aid in giving the goods being coated certain qualities including colour, flavour, and sweetness. In addition to being a key component of baked goods and confections, flours are also utilised as a tasty coating for fried meat and fast food.

The confectionery segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The confectionery segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to increase in confectionery product demand, making it a mature market for the confectionery sector. As a result, this region is anticipated to expand more slowly than other regions. In general, confections are low in micronutrients and heavy in calories and carbs. The quest for organically sourced colours has caused the clean label movement to have an influence on the confectionery industry. To fulfil this rising demand, a number of food companies announced intentions to reformulate their goods by removing artificial ingredients and streamlining ingredient lists.

Region with largest share

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to The market for food coating ingredients now has more chances thanks to the rising demand for processed foods in the area, increased manufacturing industry growth over the past ten years, and developments in the food sector. In the Asia Pacific area, the demand for coating ingredients is driven by a growth in the manufacturing of processed and convenience foods as well as developments in markets including meat, snacks, and bakery & confectionery goods. Throughout the projection period, demand is expected to remain strong in China and India. Focusing on these developing areas, several multinational corporations are expanding their presence by establishing manufacturing sites, distribution centres, and R&D facilities.

Region with highest CAGR

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the region's high consumption of salty snacks and rising demand for frozen food in nations like the US and Canada, North America is anticipated to have the largest market share in the worldwide market for food coating during the forecast period. During the anticipated years, the presence of cutting-edge food coating machinery, ingredients and coating technologies is anticipated to significantly boost the growth of the North American food coating ingredients market.

Key players in the market
