The global hydrocolloids market is projected to reach USD 14.20 billion by 2030. It is expected to garner revenues at a CAGR of 5.65% over the forecast period.

Huge demand for convenience foods and indulgence of processed foods can drive the need for hydrocolloids which provide functional nutrients to the body. The rising wave of health-consciousness among consumers has led to food and beverage manufacturers to shift to natural ingredients in their formulations.  This is evident with the use of pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, and carrageenan. According to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the U.S. accounted for USD 68.17 billion worth of bakery products.

Complexities in attaining raw materials and adherence to strict regulations can restrain market growth.
