Market Scenario

Market Research Future (MRFR) postulates that the global Food Anti-Caking Agents Market Analysis is likely to demonstrate a healthy CAGR during the review period (2017-2023). Consumer inclination towards the use of packaged food items is predicted to fuel the market growth across the globe. Anti-caking agents can be defined as powdered substances which are generally used as an additive in order to prevent the formation of the lump in food products. They are mostly soluble in water, while some are soluble in organic solvents and alcohol. Anti-caking agents are used as a coating on the matrix and help to absorb the excess moisture in order to create a water-repellant coating. The commonly used anti-caking agents are sodium bicarbonate, tricalcium phosphate, powdered cellulose, sodium ferrocyanide, and others.

Market Potential and Pitfalls

Food anti-caking agents are generally used in food products like table salt, cream and milk powders, cheese, baking powder, cocoa, and other products. They are also extensively used in the fertilizer, cosmetics, and detergent industry apart from the food industry. The rising inclination of the consumers towards the usage of packaged food items coupled with the high spending for better food quality are the top two factors likely to contribute to the market growth in the coming years. Besides maintaining the free-flowing capacity of the materials, food anti-caking agents are majorly used to enhance the organoleptic properties and texture of the food products. With the increased growth in the F&B sector, the requirement for food-coating agents for chocolate powders, coffee, and instant soups is rising which has opened up new markets for the use of food-coating agents. The recent demand for ready-to-eat food and convenience food especially among the working population has enabled the market to reach out to a wider range of audiences. The diversification in the product line is further pushing the development curve across the globe. Moreover, the prime focus of ensuring that the products are manageable for packaging, transport, and the end-users is inspiring the market growth over the years. Anti-caking agents are extensively used in the fertilizers sector in order to maintain the granular size, moisture content, ambient temperature, hygroscopicity, storing, and pressure conditions. Such factors are amplifying the market in the long run.

On the contrary, the side effects and the health hazards related to the use of anti-caking agents in food items are predicted to dampen the market growth in the foreseeable future. Moreover, the high cost of the natural anti-caking agents is restricting the growth of the market.
