Overview of the food stabilizers market

The global market for food stabilizers will grow steadily at a CAGR of more than 4% during the forecast period and will be positively affected by the augmented demand for convenience foods. Ready-to-eat and pre-processed require very less cooking and clean-up time, leading to its rising demand globally. Frozen fish and seafood manufacturers increasingly prefer convenience foods to increase the relevance of their products to consumers. Moreover, rapid urbanization and the growing population of working women, especially in developing economies like India and China, will drive the need for convenience foods until the end of 2020.

In this market report, analysts have estimated factors like the increasing use of a combination of different food stabilizers to impel the prospects for market growth until the end of the forecast period. The cost of plant- and animal-based raw materials is increasing due to shortages, leading to a rise in the cost of food stabilizers. Therefore, vendors are combining different food stabilizers to decrease the overall manufacturing cost. For example, many vendors blend antioxidants to replace the natural ones partially. By mixing food stabilizers, vendors can produce the quality product at relatively lesser costs. This trend is becoming popular among vendors that want to reduce the cost of manufacturing stabilizers. Therefore, a reduction in the cost of producing food stabilizers will aid in the growth of this market in the coming years.
