Anti-caking agents sales grew at a CAGR of 4.2% between 2017 and 2021, owing to rising adoption in food & beverage, animal feed and fertilizers sectors where it is used to prevent the lumping of powder products by creating a water-repelling layer of dust particles and absorbing excess moisture.
However, in recent years, multiple types of research have hinted that these anti-caking agents possibly have adverse side effects on food where they end up degrading the nutritional qualities of vitamin C.
Additionally, natural anti-caking agents such as magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate, which are in higher demand among the consumer due to rising awareness of using organic and natural ingredients, are relatively costlier as compared to synthetic anti-caking agents which are easily available. These drawbacks are likely to negatively impact the growth in the market in the forthcoming years.
Food and beverage premixes, food coating ingredients, and other food ingredients such as milk and cream powder, baking powder, instant soup powder, and cake mixes, all utilize anti-caking agents.
Surging demand for packaged food products with high-quality ingredients is expected to boost sales of anti-caking agents. These agents provide organoleptic characteristics, longer shelf life, and free-flowing properties. Furthermore, the rising consumption of diverse food ingredients and growing preference for organic food products will continue spurring demand for anti-caking agents in the food and beverage sector over the forecast period.

Approval by Regulatory Bodies to Use Anti-Caking Agents is the USA will Fuel Growth
Owing to the high demand for processed foods in North America, the market for anti-caking agents in the USA is expected to expand at a considerable pace over the forecast period. Furthermore, favorable laws imposed by regulatory bodies for the use of chemicals such as anti-caking agents in the country is expected to boost sales in the forthcoming years.
Approvals of various compounds, such as calcium stearate, exfoliated hydro biotite, diatomaceous earth, salts of fatty acids like magnesium, aluminum, potassium, calcium, sodium, Na ferrocyanide dehydrate, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide as anti-caking agents for use in food and beverage, feed, and fertilizers will augment the growth in the market.
Expansion of the Food and Beverage Sector in Germany Will Steer Sales of Anti-caking Agents
Germany is expected to dominate the Europe anti-caking agents market over the forecast period, owing to the ongoing expansion of the food and beverage sector in the country. Increasing sales of processed food products and ready-to-eat meals in the country will spur demand for anti-caking agents over the forecast period.
However, regulations imposed by the European Food Safety Authority to limit the implementation of anti-caking agents, is expected to hinder the growth in the market in Germany. On the flip side, growing demand for processed food, along with rising demand for dairy-based products, is expected to boost sales in the Germany anti-caking agent market in the forthcoming years.
Surging Demand for Processed Food Products Will Boost Anti-caking Agents Sales
Anti-caking agents are one of the fastest-growing markets in the East Asia, with China emerging as a lucrative pocket. leading the way. Changing lifestyles among consumers and growing inclination towards processed food products and food ingredients with longer shelf life will boost demand for anti-caking agents.
Furthermore, shifting their preference towards processed foods as they are relatively more convenient among millennials will augment the growth in the market. In addition to this, growing sales of breakfast food products such as coffee and cereals will aid the growth in the China anti-caking agents market over the forecast period.
Increasing Adoption of Sodium Compound in Beverages Will Fuel Growth
Based on product type, sales in the sodium compounds segment are expected to remain high over the forecast period. Sodium compounds are used in the production of beverages such as soft drinks, beers, and other carbonated beverages. They are also used in food products such as noodles, baked products, and confectionary.
Moreover, it is also utilized in food and beverage items to improve the flavor and as a preservative. Regulatory agencies are imposing favorable laws for the use of various anti-caking agents in food and beverage industry, which is driving sales in the segment. The FDA, for example, has approved sodium salts of fatty acids anti-caking agents as safe under GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe).
Demand for Anti-caking Agents for the Production of Fertilizers Will Gain Traction
In the manufacturing of dry fertilizers, caking or clumping is a concern, because the crystallization of water-soluble ions on the surfaces of fertilizer particles causes caking. Furthermore, the surface of particles undergoes plastic deformation as a result of high pressure from storage.
Moreover, reduced water vapor pressure causes the surface to experience adhesion. Thus, anti-caking agents of excellent grade can make improve the marketability of these treated fertilizers and are cost-effective as well. Such advantages of anti-caking agent application in fertilizers are projected to drive demand in the coming years, propelling the global anti-caking agent market.
