products is expected to drive growth of the global food
stabilizer market during the forecast period. The
beverage stabilizers prevent degradation, sedimentation, and turbidity during
beverage processing and also provide stability to beverages. For instance,
Xanthan gum is used as a stabilizer, suspending agent, thickener, and
emulsifier. Furthermore, stabilizers in food products help to increase the
stability and thickness by helping foods remain in an emulsion and maintain
physical characteristics. Many low-fat foods require stabilizers. Thus, these
factors are expected to drive growth of the global food stabilizer market
during the forecast period. Furthermore, the increase in demand for customized
products is expected to boost the global food stabilizer market growth over the
forecast period. Many products convenience food products or customized
beverages require food stabilizers to extend the life of the product. Hence,
such factors are expected to boost market growth in the near future. Moreover,
rapid growth in demand for naturally-sourced ingredients is expected to
accelerate the global food stabilizer market growth over the forecast period.
However, the
stringent legal framework in the food & beverage industry combined with
rising consumer demand for clean label products is expected to boost the global
food stabilizer market growth over the forecast period. Besides, rapid growth
of emerging markets and increasing investment for research and development
activities to develop novel products can present lucrative growth opportunities
in the global food stabilizer market during the forecast period. Among regions,
Europe is expected to hold a dominant position in the global food stabilizer
market during the forecast period. This is owing to the presence of a large
food processing base across the region. Asia Pacific is expected to register a
robust growth rate over the forecast period, owing to increasing disposable
income and reside demand for processed food in emerging economies such as India
