Slow Market Growth at 3.31% CAGR Predicted amid COVID-19

Based on our analysis, the global market for hydrocolloids is expected to showcase slow-paced growth while exhibiting a CAGR of 3.31% in 2020. This is due to the imposition of lockdown announced by the government agencies that has led to the shutdown of several stores and other industrial activities globally. This has led to significant supply chain disruption and lower demand for raw materials impacting the market growth. However, the market is expected to recover steadily post-COVID-19 pandemic with growing awareness amongst people regarding natural and clean-labeled food products.

Hydrocolloids are polymers, mostly proteins, and polysaccharides, that have the property of forming gels or viscous dispersion when combined with water. Additionally, their ability to provide the right viscosity, structure, and texture to several food products enables their wider adoption in manufacturing several food products worldwide.
