Plant-sourced Food Emulsifiers Market is Booming Worldwide at Unstoppable Rate | Lonza Group, Palsgaard A/S, Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd., Beldem S.A

 Food emulsifier creates a stable emulsion by forming a barrier between immiscible liquids like water and oil. Emulsifiers can be found in ice cream, margarine, salad dressings, bread, and sweets, to name a few. Food emulsifiers can prevent the separation of ingredients by controlling crystallization, reducing stickiness, and preventing crystallization. The increased demand for plant-sourced food emulsifiers in the food and beverage sector is due to these qualities and the negative health effects of synthetic food emulsifiers. Brominated vegetable oil (BVO), an emulsifier used in food is banned in Europe, according to the European Union, since it can harm the neurological system, cause skin cancer, and create other memory-related issues.

The growing popularity of veganism is boosting the demand for the plant-sourced food emulsifiers market. Vegetarians increased from around 5% of the population to around 10% of the population in 2015, according to the Vegetarian Society, a British registered organization that promotes vegetarianism in the United Kingdom. Most manufacturers are being influenced by the growing trend of veganism and vegetarianism to use plant-based food emulsifiers. Hydrosol GmbH & Co. KG, for example, introduced HydroTop, a vegan emulsifier stabilizer made from a combination of hydrocolloids generated from cellulose and vegetable-based fiber with strong water binding capacity, in May 2017.

Over the forecast period, the global plant-sourced food emulsifiers market is expected to rise significantly in North America. This is due to rising disposable income and rising demand for food emulsifiers in a wide range of meals. Over the projected period, Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest expanding region in the global plant-sourced food emulsifiers market. This is due to an increase in the number of processed food industries and a movement in customer preferences toward plant-based foods.

To maintain their position in the global plant-sourced food emulsifiers market, key competitors are focusing on various organic and inorganic development methods such as mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships, and product or technological breakthroughs. For example, in 2017, Groupe Avril purchased Novastell in order to speed up growth initiatives such as product development and natural emulsifier plant expansion in France and abroad.

Lonza Group, Palsgaard A/S, Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd., Beldem S.A., and DowDuPont Inc. are among the major competitors in the global plant-sourced food emulsifiers market.
