The global food thickeners market is expected to grow from USD 12.8 billion in 2021 to USD 21.2 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period 2022-2030.
The need for food thickeners is projected to increase due to the growing demand for convenience food, consumer awareness of healthy eating and active lifestyles, and the several benefits of using food thickeners. Food thickener producers continually invest in and concentrate on product innovation to broaden their product lines and enhance functional qualities like flavor, texture, and other organoleptic features of their goods, fueling the global demand for food thickeners. For instance, researchers at Oregon State University developed and commercialized Ropy 352, a brand-new kind of dairy thickening. Some of the products that use Ropy 352 may incorporate probiotic properties. According to Oregon State University, the US spends up to USD 120 billion annually on probiotic goods like buttermilk, yogurt, and sour cream. Numerous potential natural thickeners are being looked at or are waiting to be approved. Cress seed gum, for instance, is one of the possible food thickeners.
