Increasing importance of alternative ingredients may pose as a restraint for the carrageenan industry to some extent. Lately, several alternative ingredients are increasingly employed as stabilizing, gelling, and thickening agents in food products, such as agar, xanthan gum, and guar gum on account of their more natural and improved safety profile. The rising competition for carrageenan will limit the product demand.
