Food Hydrocolloids Market Likely to Rise Rapidly in Asia Pacific due to Rising Demand for Processed Food, says TMR

The global food hydrocolloids market is driven primarily by the rising demand for processed foods, according to a new report from Transparency Market Research (TMR). The report examines the development trajectory exhibited by the global food hydrocolloids market in the past few years and the market’s current statistics. Further, based on a solid analysis of the market’s historical and present figures, the report presents reliable forecasts regarding the development trajectory of the food hydrocolloids market in the coming years. The report is titled ‘Food Hydrocolloids Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016 – 2024.’


Hydrocolloids are polymeric chains of very fine particles of dispersed in water. The consistency of the mixture varies according to the proportion of colloids and water in the mixture. Food hydrocolloids affect the rheology of any food product they are added to, as they bring about direct structural changes in the consistency of the food. Due to this property, food hydrocolloids can be used as thickening agents, gelling agents, emulsifying agents, and stabilizing agents in the production of various food items.

The prime driver for the global food hydrocolloids market is the rising demand for convenience foods and processed foods. The consistency of both types of food requires special attention. Processed foods, which are rarely consumed immediately after the purchase and are often consumed over long periods, are a key application of the food hydrocolloids market. They are likely to remain a leading contributor to the global food hydrocolloids market in the coming years, as the demand for processed food is likely to grow steadily in urban areas across the world.

Based on product type, the global food hydrocolloids market can be segmented into gelatin, pectin, agar, guar gum, xanthan gum, carrageenan, cellulosics, alginates, gum Arabic, locust bean gum, and others. Food hydrocolloids can be derived from plants, animals, as well as microbes, making them readily available and utilizable. By end use, meat and poultry, frozen foods, dairy, bakery and confectionary products, and beverages are the leading revenue generating segments of the food hydrocolloids market

Regionally, North America is the leading contributor to the global food hydrocolloids market. The high demand for processed food in North America is the key driver for the food hydrocolloids market in North America. On the other hand, the rising urban population in countries such as India, China, South Korea, and Taiwan is likely to result in strong growth of the Asia Pacific market for food hydrocolloids in the 2016-2024 forecast period.

The report also examines the competitive landscape of the global food hydrocolloids market by presenting business profiles of leading players such as Ashland Inc., Lubrizol Corporation, Cargill Inc., CP Kelco, E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, and Rousselot S.A.S.

Food Hydrocolloids Market will Reflect Significant Growth Prospects during 2016-24

A colloid, also called a colloidal system, is a chemical system that features very fine particles suspended in a continuous medium. Hydrocolloids, as the name indicates, are colloidal long-chained polymeric systems made of fine particles and dispersed in water. Depending on how much water has been used, hydrocolloids could occur in the form of either gels or sols.

Given their physical attributes, hydrocolloids are used in numerous applications. Their range of application in the food industry is especially wide because they carry the capability to modify the rheology of virtually any system to which they’re added. The other main applications of hydrocolloids are seen in the cosmetics and pharmaceuticals sector.

In the F&B industry, they are used to meet several ends. They serve as gelling agents, thickening agents, stabilizing agents, and emulsifying agents. It is possible to obtain food hydrocolloids from both natural sources or through artificial synthesis. The natural sources of hydrocolloids are animals, plants, or microbes. The market is projected to register healthy growth through the report’s forecast period as the food and beverages industry evolves. Moreover, the need for convenience foods that last longer and have the desired physical characteristics will prove beneficial to the growth of the global food hydrocolloids market as well.

Food Hydrocolloids Market: Key Restraints and Drivers

The growing global population, coupled with other factors such as rising disposable incomes, improved standard of living of consumers (especially in developing regions) will lead to steady demand for both specialty and processed beverages and foods. This trend will create a conducive environment for the growth of the global market for food hydrocolloids. The emphasis on healthy food products is yet another factor that will aid the consumption of food hydrocolloids, thus leading the market to post a high growth rate.

Food Hydrocolloids Market: Segmentation

Based on the type of product, or the type of food hydrocolloid, this market can be divided into the following broad segments: Gelatine, agar, pectin, carrageenan, guar gum, alginates, xanthan gum, cellulosics, locust bean gum, gum Arabic, and others.

On similar lines, based on the source from which food hydrocolloids are derived, the global market can be segmented into: Plant source, animal source, seaweed, synthetic, and microbial source. Likewise, by the end-use industry, the market for food hydrocolloids is segmented as follows: Meat and poultry, beverages, dairy, frozen foods, bakery and confectionary, and others.


Food Hydrocolloids Market: Region-wise Outlook


On the basis of geography, the global market for food hydrocolloids can be segmented into the following seven major segments: Western Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa, Latin America are the key regions of the food hydrocolloids market. Of these, the North America food hydrocolloids market leads; it is trailed by Europe and Asia Pacific. It is expected that the demand for food hydrocolloids will rise substantially in Asia Pacific.
