[Research Report] The hydrocolloids market size is projected to grow from US$ 13,563.87 million in 2022 to US$ 20,851.46 million by 2030; the market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.5% from 2022 to 2030.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

Hydrocolloids are extracted from plants, algae, and seaweed. They can also be manufactured using microbial synthesis. These polymers possess excellent thickening, binding, and gelling abilities. Gelatin, pectin, agar, xanthan gum, carrageenan, gellan gum, alginates, guar gum, locust bean gum (LBG), modified starches, cellulose, chitin, and chitosan are various types of hydrocolloids used in food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, personal care products, animal feed and pet food, and other industrial products. The continuously flourishing food & beverages sector in the world due to increasing population, rising urban population, changing lifestyle, and hectic work schedule drives the demand for various food ingredients, including hydrocolloids, bolstering the hydrocolloids market growth.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

Consumers are highly concerned about their diet, and they pay attention to product labels and additives used in processed foods and beverages. The popularity of organic and clean-label products is increasing owing to their perceived health benefits. They are free of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which increase their appeal among consumers who are ready to pay higher prices. Moreover, consumers increasingly prefer clean-label food products free of synthetic colors, flavors, and other additives. They also focus on holistic and conscious consumption choices made with ethically sourced additives. Thus, an upsurging demand for natural additives is expected to emerge as a new trend in the hydrocolloids market in the coming years.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic affected almost all industries in various countries in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA). Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns in these regions hampered the growth of the food & beverages and pharmaceuticals & nutraceuticals industries.
