The global food thickeners market is projected to amass a value of USD 24,469.6 million by 2032, with sales growing at a moderate CAGR of 5.5% from 2022 to 2032. Valued at USD 14,324.2 million in 2022, the market will present steady growth during the forecast period. Increasing demand for convenience foods along with rising awareness of healthy eating will propel the food thickeners market forward over the forecast period. The growing popularity of healthy lifestyles and increasing knowledge of the benefits associated with the use of food thickeners will further aid the growth of the food thickeners market.
The addition of food thickeners to beverages results in the absorption of the fluid by thickeners and beverage plumps. When the thickener decomposes, the setting action reverses, and nearly all of the water in the beverage is available as a fluid that the body can absorb. It is used in food and beverage products to absorb fluid and thicken it. Food thickeners are used in the food and beverage sector to enhance the viscosity of products such as puddings and sauces, in conjunction with other ingredients like gelatin, eggs, and starches like flour, rice flour, cornstarch, and arrowroot. Thus, extensive use of food thickeners in the food sector and the expansion of the food and beverage industry will facilitate the growth of the food thickeners market.
Rapid urbanization has resulted in shifts in consumer lifestyle and preferences which, in turn, is expected to have a positive impact on the sales of the food thickeners market. This is owing to surging demand for convenience food which encourages greater application of food thickeners. Increasing spending on ready-to-eat snacks, protein-rich items, and nutritional food products will also spur the demand for food thickeners. Other factors like rising disposable income, a wider consumer base, and increasing demand for non-alcoholic beverages like fruit juice and energy drinks will escalate the expansion of the food thickeners market size. The market will also face certain challenges like an expensive manufacturing process and alterations in raw materials. Though the food thickeners market has a bright future, these aforementioned factors will hamper the growth of the market.
