by Food stabilizers are substances added to food products to stabilize them and improve their quality and texture. Stabilizers help to preserve the consistency and structure of food products by providing viscosity or gel formation. They are commonly used in products like yogurt, ice cream, salad dressings, sauces, dairy products, and confectioneries. Food stabilizers prevent spoilage and extend the shelf life of foods while retaining their desired organoleptic and textural properties. They help emulsify mixtures of water and oil, prevent crystallization, control acidity, and protect flavors. The versatility and functional benefits offered by stabilizers have led to their widespread adoption across the food industry.
The global Food Stabilizer Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 9.5 Billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.9% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the food stabilizer market is the growing demand for clean label and natural ingredients. Consumers are increasingly becoming aware of artificial ingredients in their food and are opting for products with simple and recognizable ingredients. This has prompted manufacturers to replace synthetic stabilizers with natural alternatives. Seaweed extract, fruit and vegetable purees, and gums extracted from plants are some of the natural ingredients gaining popularity as stabilizers. Their effectiveness in controlling food texture with perceived natural or clean label positioning gives them an advantage over synthetic counterparts. Furthermore, advances in technology have enhanced the functionalities of natural stabilizers, expanding their applications in the food industry
