Alginate market size is set to surpass USD 755 million by 2027, according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
Alginates are natural compounds derived from brown seaweed and certain bacteria such as Azotobacter & Pseudomonas. They are primarily derivatives of alginic acid but also include the acid itself. Alginates are preferred additives in various food, pharmaceutical, and industrial products, majorly owing to the excellent stabilizing, viscosity & gelation properties they confer to the end products. They offer the unique ability of retaining 200-300 times their own weight in water, making them natural gelling substances.
The global high G alginate market size is set to surpass USD 275 million by 2027. Alginates consisting of a high G content have a lower M/G ratio and produce a stronger gel. Moreover, they are known to interact with glycoproteins in the body to increase the excretion of fatty acids, enhancing weight management.
Capsules containing high G products exhibit improved adhesion to abdominal organs and are denser. Alginates witness increasing adoption for the production of gel capsules for drug delivery systems. Technological advancements in the pharmaceutical sector and the increasing healthcare spending should boost high G alginate industry expansion.
(PGA) propylene glycol alginate market exceeded USD 205 million in 2020 and is set to record a significant CAGR over the predicted period. It offers excellent swelling, stabilizing, thickening, emulsifying, and acid resistance properties along with high lipophilicity & hydrophilicity. These benefits make PGA an ideal stabilizer for acid protein beverages such as beer and ready-to-drink beverages.
Rising disposable income, urbanization, and increasing consumption of alcoholic drinks, particularly in emerging economies including India, Mexico, and Brazil should drive the demand for beer and stimulate the PGA market share. Also, increasing consumer health awareness and growing demand for convenience food & beverages should stimulate the ready-to-drink beverage industry and boost product demand.
