1. Clean Label and Plant-Based Trends:
Consumers are demanding natural, plant-based ingredients, which is driving growth in the pectin market. Pectin, derived from fruits like apples and citrus, aligns well with clean label trends, especially in jams, dairy, and beverages. Its natural gelling and stabilizing properties make it a preferred alternative to synthetic additives.
2. Expansion in Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Applications:
Pectin is increasingly utilized in pharmaceutical formulations for controlled drug release and in personal care products as a thickening agent. Its bio-compatibility and functional benefits contribute to this expansion. As regulatory approvals increase, these secondary markets are adding a new dimension to pectin's traditional use in food.
