Global Multifunctional Food Ingredients Market Driven by Increasing Demand for Safe, Longer Lasting Food

Multifunctional food ingredients are a range of ingredients used in food manufacturing in order to impart various qualities to food. These ingredients serve to replace ingredients such as gluten and fats, which can cause harm upon consumption and are thus being rejected by many consumers. Multifunctional food ingredients help food manufacturers bring about the physical qualities of the ingredients they are replacing while removing the threat they pose. This is the prime driver expected to propel the global multifunctional food ingredients market in the coming years.

Multifunctional food ingredients can also help increase the shelf life of perishable products. Replacing the ingredient responsible for oxidation or other decomposition processes with a multifunctional food ingredient is fast emerging as a highly effective way of making the product last longer. Multifunctional food ingredients can also replace ingredients that fall foul of food safety regulations, allowing food manufacturers to produce the food without including the ingredient. The rising awareness about such benefits is propelling the global multifunctional food ingredients market.

Which are the major geographical segments of the multifunctional food ingredients market?

Of the major regional segments of the global multifunctional food ingredients market, North America and Europe emerged with the dominant shares in 2015. The early adoption of advanced technologies in food manufacturing and the increasing awareness among consumers about food safety have driven the multifunctional food ingredients market in these regions. These two regions are expected to remain prominent in the global multifunctional food ingredients market in the coming years due to the presence of several industry giants and the increasing demand for safe food from consumers.

Based on the type of ingredient, the global multifunctional food ingredients market is expected to be dominated by the hydrocolloids and bulking agents segments in the coming years. Hydrocolloids are used to modulate the viscosity and texture of liquid products such as sauces. The increasing demand for sauces and other flavoring formulations is expected to drive the demand for hydrocolloids in the coming years. Bulking agents are expected to be the fastest growing segment of the global multifunctional food ingredients market in the coming years.

How does the recent discovery of a method to industrially produce diterpenoids affect the global market?

Recently, a method to artificially create diterpenoids was conceived through a concerted effort from Evolva, a Swiss biotechnology firm, and the University of Copenhagen.

Plant-derived diterpenoids are abundant in nature, but the technology to produce them artificially on an industrial scale has been lacking. Plant-derived diterpenoids are an important class of compounds, as illustrated by the fact that steviol glycoside, the compound responsible for the sweetness of stevia, is a plant-derived diterpenoid. Stevia is becoming increasingly popular due to its property to sweeten food without adding any extra calories. The ability to produce plant-derived diterpenoids on an industrial scale could be a huge step towards eliminating several problems related to high-calorie diets, such as diabetes and hypertension.

This and other expected advances in food tech in the coming years have the potential to disrupt and completely reconfigure the global multifunctional food ingredients market.

Multifunctional Food Ingredients Market Will Increase Strongly Through 2024

Food ingredients are extensively used in various processes employed in the food manufacturing industry. These ingredients are imperative to lend the desired quality to food products. The use of multifunctional food ingredients is primarily aimed at replacing gluten, gums, fats, and other unhealthy or expensive ingredients in foods. The use of multifunctional food ingredients is also gaining momentum as they help enhance the shelf life of products and help adhere to prevailing food safety norms. The other advantages are: increased product yield and maintenance of texture, taste, and appearance.

In the meat and poultry sector, multifunctional ingredients are added to improve the safety of the products during the storage phase and to maintain the firmness of products. Moreover, these products are also used to achieve the optimal rheological indicators and the desired thermodynamic characteristics.

Furthermore, they enable food to acquire the desired moisture holding characteristics, especially in the case of finished goods. Oat-derived multifunctional ingredients, particularly, are used in numerous bakery products as they help in extending their shelf life by impeding moisture migration.

Multifunctional ingredients also help achieve better volume and yield. They also work by enhancing the texture and keep intact that nutritional value of processed or finished products. The market for multifunctional food ingredients also features products derived from food-grade yeast. Such products find uses in improving the flavor of salad dressings that have lower fat levels. In addition, they help offset the acid bite of vinegar that is added to most salad dressings. The use of yeast extracts also results in a more balanced and smoother flavor of the product in question. The use of multifunctional ingredients doesn’t necessary make the product in question more viscous.

Multifunctional Food Ingredients Market: Segmentation

The market for multifunctional food ingredients can be segmented on the following criteria: ingredient type, region, and applications. Basis ingredient type, the global multifunctional food ingredients market can be divided into emulsions and flavors, oat extracts, hydrocolloids, yeast extracts, fibers, bulking agents, and others (such as dairy powders). Of these, the segment of hydrocolloids is projected to register rapid growth through the forecast period.

Multifunctional fibers are derived from vegetables and fruits peels and pulp. They help replace more expensive ingredients such as oil, pectin, and eggs. The use of bulking agents is increasing; this is expected to lead this segment to register the fastest growth in the years ahead. The market for multifunctional food ingredients has been segmented based on the type of application, and is comprised of dessert and toppings, bakery and confectionery products, dairy products, meat and poultry, as well as processed food products.

Of these, the segment of meat and poultry has matured; it is expected to remain dominant during the report’s forecast period. Multifunctional food ingredients are also widely employed in confectionery products so as to improve and intensify their flavor and taste. Their use also ensures better product stability and longer shelf life. Moreover, multifunctional flaxseed ingredients are used for replacing gum in numerous cereal products. This has stimulated their demand in producing products such as gluten-free products, tortillas, sheeted dough, pizza crusts, and breads and batters.

Multifunctional Food Ingredients Market: Region-wise Outlook

Multifunctional food ingredients market can be divided and studied on by region into: North America, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific excluding Japan, Western Europe, Japan, and Middle East and Africa. Of these, the markets in North America and Europe have a well-developed multifunctional food ingredients industry.

Multifunctional Food Ingredients Market: Drivers

The demand among consumers for clean label products and natural ingredients is rising. This augurs well for the market for multifunctional food ingredient.
