Food Coating Ingredients Market Rising Due to Demand for Processed Food

Global Food Coating Ingredients Market: Overview

Food coatings play an important role in the processed food industry. Coatings can be applied to various food products to enhance or change their texture, taste, or nutritional profile. The process of coating can differ according to the nature of the substrate as well as the food coating ingredient, but primarily consists of mixing the two and allowing them to coalesce naturally. Since the process cannot be determined in precise equations, food coating is considered a ‘soft science’ in the food processing industry.


Food coating ingredients can be liquid or solid, depending upon the particular application, and are used to achieve various purposes. Roughly, the three main steps in the process of applying food coating ingredients are application, adhesion/coalescence, and stabilization. Adhesion consists of ensuring there is sufficient affinity between the substrate and the food coating ingredient. The stabilization process differs according to the food coating ingredient and ensures the coating stays on and stable for a long time.

Investing in emerging economies thus remains a major opportunity for players in the global food coating ingredients market.

Innovation in the food coating ingredients industry is also expected to be dominated by the demand for antimicrobial coatings. The usage of antimicrobial food coating ingredients is also driven by the presence of supportive regulations in many regions. The increasing attention paid to the safety of processed food is responsible for the legislation of regulations mandating the usage of antimicrobial food coatings in many regions.

Global Food Coating Ingredients Market: Regional Overview

Emerging regions hold enormous promise for the global food coating ingredients market. As such, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Latin America are the regional segments with the highest potential for the food coating ingredients market. The rising demand for processed food, especially bakery products, in emerging economies such as India, China, Brazil, Argentina, Thailand, and South Korea is propelling the food coating ingredients market in these regions. In the near future, the Asia Pacific food coating ingredients market is estimated to exhibit a rapid growth rate, with India emerging as a major market for food coating ingredients.
