What Factors are Driving the Growth of the Food Acidulants Market?
Increasing consumption of processed meat is expected to significantly propel the growth of the food acidulants market. Processed meat refers to any meat that has been modified to enhance its flavor or extend its shelf life. Food acidulants are utilized to increase the shelf-life of processed meat, poultry, and fish products, as well as to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, improve flavor, and promote binding and retention capacity.
For instance, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development – Food and Agriculture Organization (OECD-FAO) Agriculture projects that global meat consumption will increase by 12% between 2020 and 2029. Furthermore, global meat consumption is forecasted to reach 570 million tons by 2050. As a result, this escalating consumption of processed meat is driving the growth of the food acidulant market.
