Hydrocolloids Market Report Scope & Overview:

Hydrocolloids Market size was valued at USD 12.07 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow to USD 18.82 billion by 2031 and grow at a CAGR of 5.8% over the forecast period of 2024-2031.

Hydrocolloids are heterogenous and hydrophilic in nature having high molecular weight. When hydrocolloids are mixed with water, they form a gel. The presence of a large number of hydroxyl groups increases the affinity of hydrocolloids toward water. Hydrocolloids have colloid particles which are suspended or spread throughout the water. The different states of hydrocolloids i.e., gel or solution are depended on the quantity of water available. There are two forms of hydrocolloids, one is irreversible and the other is reversible. Agar is a reversible hydrocolloid produced from seaweed extract and can exist in a gel as well as a solid state.

Natural polysaccharide is one of the sources of many hydrocolloids. Another effective hydrocolloid is gelatin powder which produces the gelatin deserts like Jell-O and Jelly. To increase the viscosity of food products hydrocolloids are used in the food industry. In the pharmaceutical sector, hydrocolloids are used in medical dressings that are used for skin and wound treatment. The hydrocolloids act as a thickening agent in various food products like gravies, soups, sauces, and salad dressings.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted seaweed production across the globe. The decreased production of raw materials and fluctuation in the raw material prices has decreased the demand for hydrocolloids during the outbreak of coronavirus.

Apart from this, the continuous use of masks and goggles to avoid the spread of COVID-19 resulted in greater sweating which caused swelling and infection on the face. Due to this infection, health professionals such as nurses, doctors, and pharmacists used the hydrocolloid sheet as a dressing on the infected area on the face which reduces the pain and protects the skin from further swelling. This application has increased the demand for hydrocolloids during the pandemic.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

  • Increasing demand for hydrocolloid-based products

  • Rising demand from the cosmetics industry

  • Growing utilization as a thickening and gelling applications

  • Increasing popularity in the food industry

  • Increasing consumption of clean-label food products

Being multifunctional in nature hydrocolloids are used in a wide range of industries. Hydrocolloids are extensively used in the food industry due to the binding capacity of hydrocolloids with water. They are used to enhance the shelf life and quality of the food products. Hydrocolloids have the ability to enhance the rheology of the food products i.e., texture and viscosity which drives the hydrocolloids market significantly in the food industry.

Restrain

  • Stringent regulation imposed by the government

Due to the high utilization of hydrocolloid-based products regulatory bodies of the Food and Drug Administration across the globe strictly regulate food safety. They control and regulate the amount of direct and indirect utilization of food products. This factor is likely to hamper the growth of the hydrocolloids market.

Opportunities

  • Extensive use of hydrocolloids in various industries

Challenges

  • Highly competitive hydrocolloids market with the presence of leading market players

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War:

The Russia- Ukraine war affected the hydrocolloid market in several ways. Firstly, the conflict has disrupted the supply chain of raw materials used in the production of hydrocolloids. Ukraine is a major producer of grains, which are a key ingredient in the production of hydrocolloids. The war has led to a decrease in the production of grains, resulting in a shortage of raw materials for the hydrocolloid industry. Secondly, the war has led to an increase in the cost of transportation and logistics. The conflict has made it difficult to transport goods across the border between Russia and Ukraine, leading to higher transportation costs. This has resulted in an increase in the cost of hydrocolloids, making them less affordable for consumers.

Impact of Recession:

The ongoing recession had a moderate impact on the hydrocolloid market. The recession has caused many companies to cut back on their spending, resulting in a decrease in the production of goods that require hydrocolloids. This has led to a decrease in the demand for hydrocolloids, which has had a negative impact on the market.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
