It also finds application in confectionery, such as jam and jellies, to give them the structure of a gel. Reduction in cooking time, improve texture and color, and increase the shelf life are some of the key advantages of incorporating pectin in food. Thus, increasing application of gelling agents in the confectionaries, are expected to be a driving factor for the market.

Restraints: Higher content of gelling agents may result in health-associated problems

Higher content of artificial gelling agents in food might impact causes health-associated problems such as abnormalities in gum linings, stomach cramps, diarrhea. Moreover, people who are allergic to citrus fruits are advisable not to consume gelling agents. Gelling agents such as pectin can reduce the body’s ability to absorb beta-carotene, an important nutrient. Moreover, some gelling agents lack antimicrobial properties, necessitating testing for compatibility with other ingredients in the formulation, and rising government regulations regarding food safety are among the major factors acting as restraints.

Opportunities: Demand for natural additives in food industry

Surging need for natural ingredients and additives in the food industry to open new avenues of growth in gelling agents market during the forecast period. Increase in the number of health-conscious consumers who prefer products made from natural ingredients such as pectin, xanthan gum, and gelatin. These natural and biodegradable-extracted components are free from any chemical reactions, and thus, hold an upper edge in the market for their use. Therefore, natural gelling agents is poised to provide remunerative growth opportunity owing to its high use in the production of packaged food products such as marshmallows, jellies and fruit snacks.

Challenges: Stringent regulations towards food additives

Stringent regulations towards food additives might pose challnege in the gelling agents market. Several organizations, such as the Food Administrative Organization, the United States Department of Agriculture, and JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives, are introducing a general standard for food additives (GSFA) to increase the trade among countries.
