Global Emulsifiers Market Size, 2016-2023, (Units) (US$ Bn)

Global Emulsifiers Market

The global emulsifiers market has been segmented based on different type and end-use. Based on different types, the market is segmented into Lecithin, Esters of monoglycerides of fatty acids, Esters of monoglycerides of fatty acids, Polyglycerol Esters, Polysorbates, Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate, and Lactic esters of fatty acids. By different end-use, the market is segmented into personal care and cosmetics, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, and others.

The Lecithin segment dominated the market in 2018 and is expected to display a similar trend in the coming years

In 2018, the lecithin segment accounted for a majority of the market share and is expected to retain its dominance by 2023. The emulsifying properties of lecithin is fuelling its demand in many food and industrial applications. Further, the multifunctional nature of lecithin is expected to play a vital role in augmenting its demand over the years. Lecithin belongs to the group of yellowish-brown fatty substances that naturally occur in animal and plant tissues. Lecithins are amphiphilic in nature and can attract water and fatty substances. They are widely used in emulsifiers in several commercial products such as foods, paints, and pharmaceuticals, among others.

The Food & Beverage segment dominated the market in 2018 and is expected to display a similar trend in the coming years

In 2018, the food & beverage segment accounted for the majority of market share and is expected to retain its dominance in the coming years. Emulsifiers consist of multifunctional ingredients that are heavily used in bakery products. Emulsifiers are widely used in the food industry to emulsify and blend ingredients, improve the properties of the shortening, as well as to interact with the flour components present in the mix.

In the food industry, emulsifiers are used in margarine and ice-creams in order to form stable emulsions in fat and water, as large crystals of water give an uneven and rough consistency to food.
