About the Report
Pectin belongs to the group of hydrocolloids derived from citrus fruits and apples that is used as a gelling agent in food and a variety of other purposes. Pectin powder is widely used in the production of jams and jellies. Besides this, its consumption has been associated with a number of health benefits, including joint pain relief, arthritis treatment, inflammation treatment, digestive aid, and so on. Pectin powder is a polysaccharide carbohydrate found in and around the cell wall.
Gum hydrocolloids, like pectin powder, xanthan gum, guar gum, gellan gum, gelatin and others find application in different functional foods as they help to improve stability and provide viscosity to food and beverages. Hydrocolloids is used to convert food products into their semi solid food components due to their adhesive nature. Use of gum hydrocolloids in processed food is expected to result in rise of pectin powder globally.
Increasing interest in organic, herbal, and fruit-based goods, resulting from rising cases of diabetes, obesity, and cardiac issues will fuel the demand for pectin powder. The advent of 'superfruits,' a concept that refers to highly nutritious fruits, exemplifies this. More 25,000 super fruit-derived products are available in the market today. Given the pectin’s impressive nutrient profile, pectin and its derivatives fit right in. Pectin powder contains pectin, pectolytic enzymes, carotenoids, fiber, vitamin B, proteins, and other salts in addition to vitamin C. From a market standpoint, the fruit's low calorie and fat-free nature make it appealing.
Pectin-based goods are comparatively more expensive due to their exotic and export-dependent nature. When compared to synthetic vitamin C, the high price is due to higher production costs. This further limits their appeal to a selective group of people, such as those who live in cities and earn a lot of money. This is a restraining factor which reduces the demand of pectin powder.
In its new study, ESOMAR-certified market research and consulting firm Future Market Insights (FMI) offers insights about key factors driving demand for pectin powder. The report tracks the global sales of pectin powder in 20+ high-growth markets, along with analyzing the impact COVID-19 has had on the food and beverage industry in general, and pectin powder in particular.
How Does Historical and Future Outlook of Pectin Powder Market Compare?
For a long time pectin powder has been used for the production of jams and marmalades but in 1825, Henri Braconnot for the first time isolated it and explained. Fruits with less or low quality pectin were added with fruits high in pectin or their derivatives to bring off well set jams from fruits.
Pectin powder saw commercialization during industrial revolution when manufacturers of fruit preserves demanded for apple residue that was cooked to obtain pectin. In 1920s and 1930s, Europe and The U.S. established factories for the production of pectin from dried apple in their apple producing region. Letter on they went to produce it from citrus peel. Due to properties like easy to store and transport commercial production and market shifted from liquid extract to dried powder.
According to FMI’s analysis, pectin powder sales have grown at 3.2% CAGR between 2016 and 2020. Pectin powder’s reputation as a nutritious food ingredient that can improve product consistency and texture has risen dramatically over the years as a result of comprehensive clinical testing and studies. Pectin powder is commonly accepted as a flavor less food additive that can effectively prolong the shelf life of foods.
Prohibited food ingredients such as phosphates, carrageenan, and others may be competently substituted by pectin powder ingredients under FDA regulations. To appeal to the world's rising health-conscious customer base, food manufacturers are aggressively concentrating on using pectin powder ingredients in the development of new ranges of fat-free edibles.
These properties of pectin powder and the growing attention of food manufacturers can result in increased demand in the global market. FMI expects the global pectin powder market to grow at 4.7% CAGR through 2031.
How is Shift to Natural Ingredients Affecting Pectin Powder Sales?
As people have become more conscious about their own and their families’ health and well-being, they are gravitating toward natural and organic goods. The economy would benefit as a result of this.

What Is The Impact Of The Demand For Low Fat And Packed Food On Pectin Powder Sales?
Growing health consciousness among consumers is boosting demand for low-fat foods and beverages. Food producers are concentrating on creating new ingredients that have the potential to mitigate and regulate obesity, allowing customers to make healthy food and beverage choices, without sacrificing flavor or taste. Pectin powder for low-fat applications is only available from a few manufacturers. Pectin gives food products a smooth consistency and mouthfeel, which meets the demand for saturated fat whose adequate amount is necessary for healthy diet.
