Top Factor Driving Food Thickeners Market Growth in 2025: The Role Of Food Thickeners In Elevating Food And Beverage Market

What combination of drivers is leading to accelerated growth in the food thickeners market?
The anticipated growth of the food thickeners market can be attributed to its widespread use in the food and beverage industry. This sector encompasses firms involved in food processing, packaging, and the distribution of both packaged and freshly cooked meals, along with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Food thickeners enhance these industries by increasing the viscosity of a food or drink and preserving its texture. For example, the India Food Services Report-2024 by the National Restaurants Association of India (NRAI), a domestic restaurant industry trade association, showed in July 2024 that the food services sector adds 1.9% to India's GDP. They also project that the sector will grow from INR 5.69 trillion ($68 billion) to INR 7.76 trillion ($92 billion) by 2028, indicating an 8.1% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2024 and 2028. This demonstrates the food service sector's robustness and potential for impacting the country's economy. Consequently, the food and beverage industry's substantial use of thickeners is fueling the expansion of the food thickener market.

What is the projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the food thickeners market from 2025 to 2034, and what factors influence it?
In recent times, the expansion of the food thickeners market has been significant. The size of the market is expected to increase from $13.24 billion in 2024 to $14.27 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The surge during the historical period is due to the rising demand for processed and convenience food, an increase in the elderly population who face difficulties in swallowing (dysphagia), the need for altering the texture in food products, the worldwide expansion of the food and beverage sector, firm regulations and safe application of food thickeners, and a rise in the occurrence of neurological disorders that affect swallowing ability.

Anticipations of a robust growth in the food thickeners market in the coming years push expectations of the market size climbing to $19.12 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. Various factors influencing this growth during the forecast period include the preference for plant-based and algae-based thickeners, the focus on structured diets in healthcare and geriatric care, and the investment in research and development of innovative thickening agents for specialized uses. Substantial demand for thickeners in nutritious and functional food items, expansion of thickener usage in pet food and nutraceuticals as well as the rising interest in tailor-made texture solutions for the foodservice sector also contribute. Key trends during the forecast period are poised to be plant-based and algae-derived thickeners, personalized texture solutions, texture restructuring for managing dysphagia, transparent and clean label claims, texture-revised pet food, and healthy functional thickeners.
