Market Dynamics

Driver

Convenience foods are more in demand as people are busier and have less time to make meals from scratch. To enhance texture and consistency, thickening agents are frequently employed in processed meals including soups, sauces, and gravies. Additionally, customers are increasingly looking for food thickeners manufactured from natural sources as they become more conscious of the health advantages of natural and organic products. As a result, natural and organic thickening agents such as proteins, starches, and gums are in higher demand.

Opportunity

There is a possibility to develop innovative food-thickening agents derived from plant sources, such as seaweed or legumes, since consumers demand more natural and plant-based ingredients. Furthermore, the demand for processed foods and convenience foods is rising in developing nations like Asia-Pacific and Latin America. This creates the opportunity to increase the use of food-thickening chemicals in these regions.
