Anti-Caking Agents Market

Market Overview:

The anti-caking agent is a processed or thick material, which is used as an additive to avoid agglomerations in the mass. Anti-caking agents are incorporated into the powder product to facilitate consumption, packaging and transport. Caking inhibitors are soluble in water, alcohol, and other organic solvents. They work by absorbing excess moisture or creating a water-repellent layer on the particles. These are used in foods such as milk and cream powder, salt, flour-based mixes, baking powders, cocoa and mixed coffee drinks, cheese, feed nutrients and other products.

Caking inhibitors are also used in non-food industries such as cosmetics, synthetic detergents, and fertilizers in manufacturing applications such as screening equipment, conveyors, and drying and mixing equipment. In addition, coffee and tea vending machines in which tube clogging is avoided allow a constant flow of beverages, in industrial automation, for example, coffee and tea vending machines involving handling, storage and administration controlled powdered food ingredients. In the fertilizer industry, the causes of coking are moisture content, particle size, hygroscopicity, room temperature, pressure, and storage conditions. This agent is used to preserve the granular properties of fertilizers.

Anti-Caking Agents Market Growth:

Growth in the market maintains the sensory properties of food products due to its moisture absorbing functionality and improves the shelf life of food manufacturing and processing.

Drivers:

The global anti-caking agent market is expected to grow as demand from various industries such as food, feed and fertilizers increases.

The anti-caking agent is mainly used to prevent the formation of lumps in powder materials. Caking inhibitors are soluble in alcohol, water, and other organic solvents. They absorb excess moisture or create a water repellent layer of dust particles. The surge in the number and diversity of food applications, changes in consumer tastes, and increased consumer willingness towards better food quality have led to the expansion and innovation of the multi-ingredient consumer base ingredients, including food coating ingredients, food and beverage premixes, etc. It is employed in baking powder, milk and cream powder, cake mix and instant soup powder. The high diversity of K-King inhibitors is expected to further strengthen demand during the outlook period.

Factors like ease of packaging, transportation and consumption are also supposed to increase demand for anti-caking agents. Increased imports of disposable medicines and increased demand for packaged foods are the main drivers of the market worldwide.

Increased consumer demand for fast food, takeout and processed foods is also responsible for the application of anti-caking agents to food and beverages. Some of the commercially available anti-caking agents are reinforced cellulose tricalcium phosphate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium silicate, polydimethylsiloxane, magnesium trisilicate, and stearic acid. The widespread use of K-King inhibitors, the growth of the food and beverage industry and the increase in disposable income are key drivers of market growth.

Furthermore, a greater awareness of packaged foods will accelerate market growth. However, factors such as potential health risks and government regulations may be struggling with the growth of this market. An increase in demand from emerging markets and technological advancements are assumed to provide numerous opportunities for the market.

Restraints:

However, in the food and beverage sector, only specific amounts of anti-caking agents are allowed, further limiting consumption in the industries as mentioned earlier. This is presumed to hurt the growth of the global market. Various health risks and side effects associated with anti-caking agents are assumed to have a negative impact on the anti-caking agent market worldwide.
