Market Overview:
The global gelling agent market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for gelling agents in food formulations, chemical industry, and oil and gas industry. In addition, the growing demand for cosmetic products is also contributing to the growth of the global gelling agent market. Based on type, the aqueous segment is projected to lead the global gelling agent market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its properties such as high solubility and compatibility with most ingredients used in food formulations.
Product Definition:
A gelling agent, also known as a thickener or stabilizer, is a substance that increases the viscosity of a liquid. This can be useful for many purposes, such as making a sauce thicker and more flavorful or preventing ice cream from melting too quickly.
Aqueous:
Aqueous is a water-based solution of salts and sugar. It's the most common way to make a gel, which has been used for thousands of years. The process is easy and inexpensive, hence it has become one of the most popular gelling agents in the food industry. Aqueous solutions are also used as stabilizers, thickeners, emulsifiers; they can be mixed with any substance to give it properties that would otherwise not be possible through other means.
Non-Aqueous:
Non-aqueous (NA) gelling agents are a group of compounds that when mixed with water, induce the formation of a gel. These products have wide applications in dairy products such as yogurts, creams & desserts and non-dairy beverages such as smoothies & shakes.
Application Insights:
The global gelling agent market has been segmented on the basis of application into chemical, food formulation, oil and gas (upstream, downstream), pharmaceuticals, and paint and coatings. The chemical segment held the largest share in 2017. This is attributed to extensive use of gelling agents in various industrial processes such as emulsification, polymerization stabilization & precipitation. In addition to this they are also used for manufacturing adhesives and sealants which further drive their demand globally.
Food formulations were the second-largest application segment accounting for over 15% share in 2017 due to rising consumer preference for nutritious diet products with natural ingredients that help maintain digestive health along with improving overall well-being without any side effects or adverse reactions associated with conventional medicines or drugs.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global gelling agent market in 2017. The growth of the region can be attributed to increasing demand for pharmaceuticals, oil and gas (upstream), food formulation, and cosmetic applications. In North America, U.S accounted for a major revenue share in 2017 owing to high consumption of gelatin-based products such as confectioneries, desserts/baked goods, dairy products including ice cream and cheese; paints & coatings; personal care products such as shampoos; conditioners used in hair styling etc.; adhesives used in printing ink packaging materials among others.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for convenience foods: The growing demand for convenience foods is one of the key growth drivers for the global gelling agent market. Convenience foods are those that can be easily prepared and consumed, without any major preparation time or effort. This segment of the food industry is witnessing rapid growth, as consumers are increasingly looking for ways to save time and simplify their lives. Gelling agents play an important role in the production of convenience foods, as they help to thicken and stabilize various food formulations.
- Rising popularity of processed meat products: Another key driver for the global gelling agent market is the increasing demand for processed meat products. Processed meats are those that have been treated with preservatives and other chemicals in order to extend their shelf life. They are often sold in supermarkets and grocery stores, and include items such as bacon, ham, sausage, hot dogs, etcetera. The use of gelling agents helps to improve the texture and flavor profile of these products while also extending their shelf life significantly.
