Report Description

The Africa anti-caking agent market size was valued at USD XX Billion in 2022 and is expected to surpass USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 2.61% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing demand for convenience food products with improved quality.

Anti-caking agents are used as additives to prevent the formation of lumps in the mass. For ease of consumption, packing, flowability and transportation, anti-caking agents, such as table salt or confectioneries are incorporated in powdered or granulated products. Anti-caking agents are soluble in water, alcohol, and other organic solvents. They function either by absorbing excess moisture or by creating a water-repellent coating on the particles.

Anti-caking agents are used in food products, such as milk & cream powder, salt, flour-based mixes, baking powders, cocoa & mixed coffee drinks, cheese, and feed nutrients. Calcium silicate and silicon dioxide are commonly used as anti-caking agent. Different natural sources of silicon dioxide are sand or quartz, rice husk powder, leafy green vegetables, beets, bell peppers, brown rice & oats, and alfalfa. Caking inhibitors are also used in non-food industries, such as cosmetics, synthetic detergents, and fertilizers.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

Increasing diverse applications of anti-caking agents is anticipated to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Growing living standards and changing lifestyle are expected to positively impact the market growth.
Rising awareness about properties of anti-caking agents, such as maintaining free-flowing ability, texture, and long shelf-life are anticipated to boost the market growth in the coming years.
Increasing calcium compounds applications in table salt, which absorbs both water and oil is projected to drive the market expansion in the projected timeline.
Rising applications of anti-caking agent in food & beverage premixes, baking powder, and cake mixes in order to prevent the caking, such as powders or granules is anticipated to propel the market expansion.
Anti-caking agents may degrade the nutrients in a powdered formulation. Thus, such factors can hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
Potential health hazards and government regulations can create challenges for the growth of the market.
Ongoing technological advancements in expanding food and beverage sector can create lucrative opportunities for the market expansion in the projected timeline.
