세계 산도 조절제 시장 규모는 2023년 67억 달러에 달했습니다. 향후 IMARC Group은 2024-2032년까지 4.3%의 연평균 성장률(CAGR)을 보이며 2032년까지 시장 규모가 99억 달러에 달할 것으로 예상하고 있습니다. 가공식품 및 식음료에 대한 수요 증가, 건강 및 웰빙에 대한 소비자의 인식 증가, 유기농 및 천연 식품 소비 급증 등이 시장을 주도하는 주요 요인입니다.
산미료라고도 알려진 산도 조절제는 다양한 식품 및 음료의 산도 수준을 조정하고 조절하는 데 중요한 역할을 합니다. 산도 조절제는 원하는 효과에 따라 pH 수준을 높이거나 낮추는 방식으로 작동합니다. 산도 조절제에서 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 성분으로는 구연산, 젖산, 인산, 아세트산 등이 있습니다. 산도 조절제의 주요 목적은 산성과 알칼리성의 균형을 맞추고 부패를 방지하고 제품의 안정성을 유지하는 것입니다. 탄산음료, 과자, 소스, 보존 식품의 제조에 널리 사용됩니다. 산도 조절제의 장점은 제품 보존 기간 개선, 맛과 질감 개선, 미생물 증식 억제 능력 등이 있습니다. 산도 조절제에는 유기산, 무기산, 광산, 완충제 등 다양한 종류가 있으며 각기 다른 용도가 있습니다. 예를 들어, 구연산은 청량음료에 많이 사용되며, 인산은 콜라에 선호됩니다. 반면 인산과 같은 무기산은 탄산음료에 사용됩니다.
가공 식품 및 음료에 대한 수요가 증가함에 따라 pH 수준을 유지하고 풍미를 개선하며 보존 기간을 연장하기 위한 산도 조절제에 대한 수요가 급증하고 있으며, 이는 시장 전망을 밝게 만드는 주요 요인 중 하나입니다. 또한 건강과 웰빙에 대한 소비자의 인식이 높아짐에 따라 보존을 위해 산도 조절제가 필요한 유기농 및 천연 식품의 소비가 증가하여 시장 성장을 더욱 촉진하고 있습니다. 이와는 별도로, 특히 신흥 경제국에서 식음료(F&B) 산업의 확장은 제조업체들이 소비자의 증가하는 수요를 충족시키기 위해 노력하고 있기 때문에 시장을 주도하고 있습니다. 또한, 전 세계 규제 당국의 엄격한 식품 안전 규정 및 표준으로 인해 음료 및 식품 회사는 산도 조절제를 사용해야 하며, 이는 시장 성장을 가속화하고 있습니다. 또한, 간편식 및 RTD(Ready-To-Drink) 음료의 인기 증가와 소비자의 바쁜 라이프스타일이 결합되어 시장 성장을 촉진하고 있습니다. 또한, 제약 산업에서 산도 조절제 채택 증가, 클린 라벨 제품에 대한 수요 증가, 생산 기술의 급속한 기술 발전이 시장 성장을 촉진하고 있습니다. 그 외 산도 조절제의 새로운 용도의 출현, 다양한 제품 옵션의 가용성, 국제 식품 무역의 증가 추세 등이 시장 성장을 적극적으로 촉진하고 있습니다.
The global acidity regulators market size reached US$ 6.7 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 9.9 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% during 2024-2032. The increasing demand for processed foods and beverages, growing awareness among consumers regarding health and wellness, and the surging consumption of organic and natural food products are some of the key factors driving the market.
Acidity regulators, also known as acidulants, play a vital role in adjusting and controlling the acidity levels of various food and beverage products. They work by increasing or decreasing the pH levels, depending on the desired effect. The most commonly used components in acidity regulators include citric acid, lactic acid, phosphoric acid, and acetic acid. The primary purpose of acidity regulators is to balance acidity and alkalinity, preventing spoilage and maintaining product stability. They are widely used in producing carbonated drinks, confectioneries, sauces, and preserved foods. The advantages of acidity regulators include improved product shelf life, enhanced taste and texture, and the ability to control microbial growth. There are various types of acidity regulators available, including organic acids, inorganic acids, mineral acids, and buffering agents, each with its own set of applications. For instance, citric acid is commonly used in soft drinks, while phosphoric acid is preferred for colas. On the other hand, inorganic acids, such as phosphoric acid, find applications in carbonated drinks.
The increasing demand for processed foods and beverages has surged the need for acidity regulators to maintain pH levels, enhance flavor, and extend shelf life, which represents one of the primary factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the growing awareness among consumers regarding health and wellness has led to an increase in the consumption of organic and natural food products, which require acidity regulators for preservation, further propelling the market growth. Apart from this, the expanding food and beverage (F&B) industry, especially in emerging economies, drives the market as manufacturers strive to meet the rising consumer demands. Additionally, stringent food safety regulations and standards imposed by regulatory authorities across the globe have compelled food and beverage companies to utilize acidity regulators, which, in turn, is accelerating the market growth. Furthermore, the rising popularity of convenience foods and ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, coupled with the hectic lifestyles of consumers, are propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of acidity regulators in the pharmaceutical industry, the rising demand for clean-label products, and rapid technological advancements in production techniques are bolstering the market growth. Other factors, such as the emergence of new applications for acidity regulators, the availability of a wide range of product options, and the growing trend of international food trade, are positively supporting the market growth.
