Italy Food Additives Market Trends
Emulsifiers are Witnessing an Upsurge
As Italy is a bread-loving nation, the demand for bakery and confectionery products is high. Bakery products and confectioneries are the major consumers of food emulsifiers in the country. The dairy industry is also registering a decent growth in the consumption of food emulsifiers. Following the veganism and health trends, the aging Italians are leaning more toward clean label and plant-based products, which may increase the consumption of plant-based emulsifiers, such as soy lecithin. Italians tend to prefer natural and healthier products compared to the population in other parts of Europe, which prefers minimally processed food. This factor is likely to restrain the growth of food emulsifiers in the market studied.
