Food thickeners or thickening agents are extensively used in range of applications to improve texture, food structure, mouth feel, and shelf life of food products. In the past few decades, there has been a remarkable change in consumer’s lifestyle and food habits, leading to an increase in need for food additives. These substances help to preserve food without changing its taste and maintain nutrition value. Rise in need for food additives in turn increases the demand for food thickeners to achieve the desired viscosity and stability of foodstuffs.

In 2016, starch was the leading type segment, as it is widely adopted as a food thickener in various applications. It is the most common carbohydrate in human diet and is contained in large amount in staple foods such as wheat, potatoes, rice, maize, and cassava. Starch when dissolved in warm water gives rise to a wheat paste, which can be used as a thickening, stiffening, or gluing agent.

In 2016, Europe was the most significant market for food thickeners, in terms of revenue, owing to the efforts of food & beverages manufactures to provide suitable products considering consumers’ health concerns and rise in consumer demand for healthy and low-fat food. North America is the second leading region, which is expected to register a CAGR of 5.2%, in terms of revenue.
