By type, gelatin is projected to gain largest share in the hydrocolloids market during the study period
The gelatin segment is projected to dominate the market. Still, as people’s awareness of their health and the environment grows, they are gradually turning towards hydrocolloids made from plants. One notable influencing element that is predicted to considerably affect the hydrocolloids market size throughout the projected period is the sharp growth in the overweight and obese population across the globe. Food products with lower fat, sugar, and salt contents that do not have any negative affects on food’s texture, flavor, or aroma are in higher demand on the market.

By application, food & beverages is forecasted to account for the largest share in the market during the research period
Hydrocolloids enhance the cooking yield, texture, and slice qualities of beef and poultry products. To preserve the moisture and natural textural qualities of meat and poultry products as well as increase viscosity, carrageenan is utilised in food items. In contrast, agar assists in the lowering of fat content in meat products. While xanthan gum is frequently used as a thickening and stabiliser in meat products, gelatin is also used to enhance the look of meat products and gel the fluids in processed hams. The use of alginate in meat products improves texture and quality. Pectin and locust bean gum work as fat replacers in meat & poultry products, whereas guar gum can be utilised as a binder and lubricant in many meat products.
