Market Trends of Spain Anti Caking Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Spain Anti Caking Market according to our research experts:
Regulatory approval in Europe leading to the penetration of Silicon Dioxide
Recent regulatory changes have led to the approval of silicon dioxide to be used as food additives as a anti-caking agent in potassium nitrate, a meat additive. Potassium nitrate is often used to preserve and cure microbial contamintion in meat products. However, potassium nitrate has a significant tendency to cake in use, hindering its effectiveness in processing of foods, i.e. meat products. The addition of silicon dioxide to potassium nitrate provides the necessary anti-caking characteristics without any adverse effects. Furthermore, in addition, there is no sufficient evidence that silicon dioxide presents any hazard to human health when used at levels necessary to prevent caking.
Bakery witnesses a strong penetration of Anti-caking agents
Across Spain, the basic trends in bread, bakery, and pastry innovation are related to health, pleasure, and convenience. New cuisine and leading manufacturers consider bread and bakery not solely a complement to the dishes served in restaurants but a fundamental prospect in terms of innovation offerings. On the other hand, the emergence of functional bakery products, although a niche segment in the spanish bakery industry, is exected to grow further, thereby, escalating the use of anti caking agents altogether.
The Spanish food-processing sector has a wide range of food processing companies, many of them importing food ingredients, that being said, the meat poultry and seafood products segment has a high level of dominance in the processed food segment citing strong consumption pattern from consumers. The category, holds the second largest share in Spain anti-caking agents market.
