"The Global Essential Oils Market 2020-2030 (USD Billion)")
The global hydrocolloids market is anticipated to reach a value of around USD 14.1 million by 2028. The increase in consumer preference for convenience foods indirectly contributes to the rise in demand for hydrocolloids required as stabilizers, texturants, binding agents, viscosity, and thickening agents in these convenience food products. The processed food market is driven by the greater need for convenience due to the busy lifestyles of consumers. This, in turn, increases the demand for hydrocolloids.
The hydrocolloids industry has a positive outlook due to high growth in the food processing industry. A leading food journal estimates that about 35% of the American population consumes at least three prepared convenience food products in a week, and this is projected to grow to about 40% of the population in the future. The expenditure of the American population on home-prepared meal ingredients decreased from roughly 70% of the total expenditure in the 1960s to 53% in the 2000s, with increasing expenditure on convenience foods. Consumer preference in emerging economies such as China, India, Japan, Africa, and countries of the Middle East have gradually transitioned from traditional home-made breakfasts and snacking meals to ready-to-eat products, custom quick meals, and one-dish meals over the last couple of decades.
