Market Overview:
Alginates are a group of naturally occurring anionic polysaccharides, obtained from brown algae cell walls. Alginates have potential application in biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors. Furthermore, they are also used in food products based on their thickening and stabilizing properties. They have wide application in the food industry and are used in the preparation of jams, jellies, and marmalades.
Sodium alginate is widely used in various industries including food, textile printing and pharmaceutical. Dental impression material utilizes alginate as its means of gelling. Alginate is present in the cell walls of brown algae, as the calcium, magnesium and sodium salts of alginic acid. Alginates are refined from brown seaweeds. A wide variety of brown seaweeds of the phylum Phaeophyceae are harvested globally and converted into raw material, commonly known as sodium alginate.
The use of the alginate in food & beverage industry is legalized by major regulatory agencies including FDA and European Commission which drives its demand. The growth of food & beverage industry in Asia Pacific owing to rise in population is anticipated to boost the demand of alginates in this region. Alginate is mainly used in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of controlled release drugs due to superior product performance. Therefore, the growth of pharmaceutical industry will have a positive impact on the growth of alginate market. Moreover, increasing application of alginate in bakery and confectionery will propel the growth of alginate market.
