Global Food Phosphate Market: Overview

Derived from phosphate rock, food phosphates belong to strata of food additives that can aid in maintaining natural flavors & colors, leavening, acidity, and stabilization of texture in food. Unlike dietary additives, these additives are primarily used for boosting the shelf-life of the food products at the same time supporting magnesium, iron, and calcium mineral enrichments.

Food phosphates have been added to food since over 100 years. As phosphates are a prerequisite for life and manifest across multiple biological functions, they are naturally present in almost all kinds of foods. Added food phosphates are utilized for specific purposes in various foods including cheese & milk products, meats, soft drinks, biscuits, and cakes, amongst others. They are added in small quantities and therefore their contribution toward the total phosphate intake is significantly low.

Global Food Phosphate Market: Growth Factors

The growing preference for high protein diets that includes consumption of products such as fish, meat, cheese, and eggs has been fueling the demand for these additives in the past few years. The classification of food phosphate additives by FDA as being ‘generally recognized as safe’ ingredients has been spurring the expansion of the market. Detailed case studies and clinical trials have demonstrated the safety of food phosphates, which is confirmed by their widespread deployment since past few decades.

The extensive utilization of this ingredient across the food & beverage industry is a primary growth driver of the global food phosphate market size. These additives are highly versatile and can adapt to the given food quality and type, for enhancing quality and shelf-life. Without the addition of food phosphates, numerous farm products cannot last long enough to reach consumers. Iron phosphate additives are added to milk and milk products to boost their iron content, with a view to cater to the needs of anemic population.

On the other hand, the rising health concerns amongst the population with kidney disease and osteoporosis can hamper the market progress in the coming years. Additionally, the increasing incidence of allergic reactions after consuming products with food phosphate additives is another restraint witnessed by the market. Notwithstanding the effect of these factors, the global food phosphate market is expected to soar on account of the growing demand for phosphoric acid across the food processing industry.
