Food thickeners are defined as the food modifying agents that are used to modify the texture structure of food & beverages. They are used to increase the thickness of food & beverages, helping absorb the water content in the edibles once they are integrated into the products. These products are majorly utilized to modify the viscosity of these products, giving them a consistent overall structure. The market's most widely used food thickeners are starches, followed by hydrocolloids and proteins. Food thickeners are used in food applications such as bakery products, confectionery products, sauces, dressings, marinades, gravies, beverages, dairy, frozen desserts, convenience, processed food, among others.
An increase in the change in lifestyle of the consumers resulting in an increased focus on their diet is a vital factor escalating the market growth. Also, a rise in the product's benefits offering more than just thickening capabilities at low costs may fuel the global food thickeners market. However, increased research and development costs associated with the development and manufacturing of food thickeners and continuous fluctuations in raw material prices of hydrocolloids are the major factors, among others, expected to restrain the global food thickeners market in the forecast period.
