Dublin, Nov. 18, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/xb29tq/hydrocolloid)
has announced the addition of the "Global
Hydrocolloid Market Report, 2018" report to their
offering.
The global market is projected to reach $7 billion by 2018 with
North America as the largest consumer for food
hydrocolloid.
The food hydrocolloid market is growing significantly, driven by
the increasing demand for convenience & processed foods and
health consciousness among consumers. The market is witnessing
demand for low-fat and low-calorie food products from the
consumers. Food manufacturers have been demanding ingredients that
are able to serve this purpose.
Hydrocolloids have the ability to reduce fat content in food
products by dispersing in the water and acting as fat replacers.
Hydrocolloids
perform functions such as gelling, coating, stabilizing among
others in food. Most of hydrocolloids are extracted from natural
sources that are vulnerable to the climatic changes.
Economic development in emerging markets such as China has led to
an increase in the purchasing power of the consumers. This has led
to increase in demand for high quality processed foods, and
hydrocolloid being an essential food additive, its market is likely
to increase. The restraints for the market include fluctuation of
raw material prices and shortage of raw material supply.
U.S. dominated the market, accounting for more than three-fourth
share in the region. Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest
growing market for hydrocolloid because of the high population base
and increasing demand for convenience foods.
Hydrocolloid is used in wide range of applications that includes
dairy products, confectionery, meat & poultry products,
beverages, etc. In 2012, dairy & frozen products dominated the
market because they are widely used as stabilizers, texturants in
yogurts, ice-cream, etc. The leading market players are using
strategies such as expansion and new products launch to grow their
global reach and increase their productivity.
