Sodium Hexametaphosphate Market Growth Accelerated by Food Industry Demand
Sodium hexametaphosphate is commonly used as a preservative
and sequestrant in a wide range of food products, due to its acidity regulating
and chelating properties. It prevents the discoloration of meat and fish,
controls crystallization in confections, enhances texture in baked goods, and
improves the stability and clarity of food dyes and flavors. The global sodium
hexametaphosphate market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,501.17 Mn in 2023
and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.0% over the forecast period 2023 to
2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The rise in demand from the food industry has accelerated growth of the sodiumhexametaphosphate market over the forecast period. Sodium hexametaphosphate
acts as an effective additive in various processed food products to increase
their shelf life by preventing microbial growth. It also improves texture,
stabilization and enhances flavors in foods. The growing packaged food industry
and increasing demand for convenience and ready-to-eat foods has driven the
consumption of sodium hexametaphosphate as a preservative and processing aid.
Segment Analysis
The global sodium hexametaphosphate market is dominated by the food application
segment. Sodium hexametaphosphate is widely used as an additive in food
processing to prevent calcium phosphate crystals formation, thereby increasing
the shelf-life of seafood, meat, and poultry products. It is used as an
emulsifier, stabilizer and preservative in convenience and ready-to-eat food products.
The growing demand for convenience and packaged food has been boosting the
consumption of sodium hexametaphosphate.
