High Methoxyl Pectin Market: Overview

The size of global high methoxyl pectin market size was US$1.1 Bn in 2021 is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period, 2022 - 2027.

A Widening Application Base Across Industries Drives High Methoxyl Pectin Market

Primarily used as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and thickening agent across F&B sectors, the water-soluble dietary fiber high methoxyl pectin (HMP) is obtained from citrus fruits. Jams, jellies, marmalades, fruit juices, fillings, and desserts extensively employ HMP, which warrants sustained growth of global high methoxyl pectin market. It is also employed in the pharmaceutical sector as a disintegrant, suspending agent, and binder in tablets, and capsules. With main application areas such as jams, jellies, and marmalade, high methoxyl pectin market is expected to see an impressive growth outlook during the next few years. Furthermore, as technology advances, manufacturers in high methoxyl pectin market analyzed have been creating high methoxyl pectin appropriate for various applications. For example, CP Kelco's GENU® High methoxyl pectin has been gaining traction in the personal care and cosmetics as a nature-based skin feel assist stabilizer and pH balancing ingredient.

To bring out the distinctive therapeutic characteristics of citrus high methoxyl pectin, leading producers are using new technologies to generate modified methoxyl high methoxyl pectin to exploit lucrative potential in the healthcare sector. Citrus high methoxyl pectin demand is likely to rise in the coming years due to recent findings and increased knowledge of the effectiveness of modified citrus high methoxyl pectin in preventing the formation of new cancer cells in patients. Its use and composition are governed by various food additive legislation. High methoxyl pectin and amidated high methoxyl pectin (a modified form) have both been assigned an acceptable daily intake (ADI) by the Scientific Committee for Food in the European Union. Under Japan's Specifications and Standards for Food Additives, the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare has declared it safe. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes it as GRAS in the United States (generally recognized as safe).

High Methoxyl Pectin Market: COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a large global impact, breaking supply and demand equilibrium and imposing trade restrictions. Because of the increased infections, several food processing, personal care, and bakery manufacturing plants were forced to close abruptly and temporarily, reducing demand for certain food additives such as high methoxyl pectin. Furthermore, the reduced supply of raw materials for high methoxyl pectin manufacture and trade restrictions in the early stages of the pandemic had a supply-side influence on the high methoxyl pectin market. However, once food processing facilities reopen and restrictions are lifted, high methoxyl pectin demand and supply are projected to restore pre-covid levels in the following quarters.

Growing Demand for Natural and Clean Label Ingredients to Drive High Methoxyl Pectin Market Growth

High methoxyl pectin is a type of food gum that is widely used. It is often extracted from apple and citrus peels and is regarded as one of the most label-friendly and flexible gums. As a result, it is chosen for use in many clean-label formulations, particularly dairy-alternative beverages, such as low-sugar and low-pH variations. Jellies, jams, fruit syrups, yogurts, yoghurt drinks, and dairy-alternative yogurts are low-pH formulations. Other uses include more decadent candy chews, gummies, and glazes. Leading citrus high methoxyl pectin players have been focused on backward integration for company development and expansion of their existing manufacturing capabilities and are generating clean-label goods and the appropriate certifications.

Fat Replacement Potential of HMP Remains a Strong Driving Force for High Methoxyl Pectin Market

Obesity and cardiovascular disease have increased in the population due to lifestyle changes. High methoxyl pectin can be a fantastic fat replacer, making food healthier by lowering sugar, fat, and calories and increasing fiber. With an increasing number of diet-conscious customers looking for options to minimize fats and calories in their diet, high methoxyl pectin as a component in such goods can be a healthy replacement, boosting growth. In addition to basic nutrition, functional foods give extra health benefits. Because of their ability to boost general well-being, they are gaining consumer favor. It is commonly used in functional food products, which greatly boosts its market growth prospects.

High Costs, and Strict Laws to Hamper High Methoxyl Pectin Market Growth

The high expense of high methoxyl pectin-based products due to greater production costs compared to synthetic vitamin C limits high methoxyl pectin's use. This feature restricts product consumption to select categories, such as high-income consumers and urban residents, limiting the high methoxyl pectin market growth. Strict laws and regulations governing high methoxyl pectin used in the food and beverage industries impede market expansion. Furthermore, the increased necessity for a quality standard creates obstacles for the manufacturer, impeding high methoxyl pectin market expansion.

Growing Boom Around Gluten-Free Trend in Food Industry Dominates High Methoxyl Pectin Market

Shortly, robust growth in gluten-free bread products is expected to create new market prospects. High methoxyl pectin is a natural, safe, and excellent replacement for gluten-containing products. As a result of the increasing frequency of celiac disease worldwide, there is a growing need for high methoxyl pectin-based food items. Furthermore, rising demand for gluten-free bakery items drives high methoxyl pectin market growth. The rising demand for low-fat foods and drinks will provide significant growth potential. Consumer participation in sports and the increased adoption of a healthy lifestyle drive up low-fat food and beverage demand. Furthermore, the rising prevalence of various lifestyle conditions such as obesity and diabetes drives demand for low-fat food and drinks, boosting high methoxyl pectin market growth.

With Increased Demand for Jam and Jellies, Rapid Set Category to Dominate High Methoxyl Pectin Market

The Rapid Set category held the biggest market share throughout the projection period and is expected to continue to rule the market over the forecast period. Because of the rise in methylation, the gel strength of high methoxyl pectin stays high; however, any further increase in methylation, i.e., more than 70%, results in a drop in gel strength. Because they thicken the product, high methoxyl pectins are commonly used to prepare jams and jellies. The former requires the presence of sugar and a particular amount of acid, whereas the latter requires the presence of calcium to initiate the gelling process.

Europe Dominant in High Methoxyl Pectin Market

The Europe market is expected to account for the greatest revenue share throughout the forecast period. The presence and growth of end-use applications for the product have resulted in significant regional demand. According to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, Spain was the biggest producer of fresh oranges in the European Union (EU28) in 2018/2019, with approximately 3.7 million metric tonnes of fresh oranges. It produced the most citrus fruits in Europe, with almost 6.33 million metric tonnes produced (Eurostat). This element can potentially increase high methoxyl pectin production in the country. Consumers in the United Kingdom are reducing their meat consumption and transitioning to vegan and plant-based products, increasing demand for plant-based ingredients like high methoxyl pectin, which is entirely plant-based. Such plant-based developments may boost the use of high methoxyl pectin.

The expanding potential for the pharmaceutical industry in Germany, as well as the launch of modified citrus HMP (MCP), which is tailored for dietary or medicinal use. As a result, innovation in the high methoxyl pectin and pharmaceutical industries is projected to propel the market forward.

Our Research Methodology

Considering the volatility of business today, traditional approaches to strategizing a game plan can be unfruitful if not detrimental. True ambiguity is no way to determine a forecast. A myriad of predetermined factors must be accounted for such as the degree of risk involved, the magnitude of circumstances, as well as conditions or consequences that are not known or unpredictable. To circumvent binary views that cast uncertainty, the application of market research intelligence to strategically posture, move, and enable actionable outcomes is necessary.
