Alginate Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing Alginate Penetration In Food Industry
Alginate, a key ingredient in the food industry, is used as an emulsifier, thickener, and gelling agent. Its popularity stems from its production using natural raw materials, leading to its widespread acceptance. Alginate is found in sauces, bakery items, and confectionery products. The growing use of alginate in the bakery and confectionery sector is expected to fuel market growth. The rising consumption of emulsifiers in foods like salad dressings, peanut butter, chocolates, margarine, and frozen desserts is set to boost alginate demand. Factors such as changing lifestyles, increased disposable income due to rapid urbanization, and growing consumer demand for low-fat foods are likely to further drive market growth.
Driver: Growing Demand In Pharmaceutical Sector As A Stabilizer, And Thickening Agent
Alginate, widely used in the pharmaceutical sector, serves as an emulsion stabilizer, thickening agent, disintegrant, and film-forming agent for tablets. Its demand is rising due to its use in tablet coating. Sodium alginate, a capsule disintegrant, also acts as a stabilizing, suspending, emulsifying, gel-forming, and viscosity-increasing agent in compounded medicines. Recognized as an FDA-approved natural polymer, alginate is gaining importance in drug manufacturing due to its low toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The global population is expected to increase by 1.24% annually until 2030. The percentage of people aged 65 to 80 is projected to rise to 28% in 2030 from 22% in 2000. This aging population will require more medical assistance, leading to higher demand for medications and pharmaceutical drugs. The prevalence of chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and obesity is increasing worldwide due to changing lifestyles, further driving the demand for pharmaceutical products.
Restraint: Volatile Production Of Seaweed
Seaweeds, a crucial source of alginates, are predominantly harvested by China, Norway, and Chile, which collectively contribute to 75% of the global production from wild stocks. However, the environmental and economic repercussions of unsustainable harvesting techniques are significant. Changes in climate and overexploitation have a profound impact on seaweed harvests, primarily from wild stocks. Northern Ireland, a major seaweed harvester, has experienced a decline in production due to the disturbance of wildlife caused by unsustainable harvesting in conservation areas. This has led to a surge in demand for sustainable harvesting techniques. Additionally, the Chinese market is expected to face challenges due to growing concerns about environmental imbalances triggered by excessive harvesting. Therefore, it’s imperative to adopt sustainable practices to ensure the longevity of this vital resource and mitigate environmental impacts.
