Market Trends of Germany Anticaking Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Germany Anticaking Market according to our research experts:
Acquisitive Demand for Calcium Compound in Various Industries
Some of the calcium compounds are mostly used as an anti-caking agent recognized as GRAS, including calcium ferrocyanide, calcium phosphate (i.e., bone phosphate), calcium silicate, and calcium aluminosilicate. The most common food items which use these compounds in their manufacturing are table salt and fructose-sweetened powdered soft drinks. Also, calcium compounds are used as anti-caking agents, such as calcium stearate NF in tablet and capsule lubrication, due to its good anti-adherent and lubricant properties.
Rising Demand for Anti-caking as Animal Feed
As the livestock industry registered a low growth rate, there is an increasing need for animal feed. The rising need for a high-quality feed and an increase in the number of feed additives, especially in the compound feed industry, are the major growth drivers of the market. This is expected to drive the demand for feed additives, particularly feed anti-caking agents. Moreover, silicates are widely used as an anti-caking agent, as silicates can absorb both water and oil. Sodium and calcium products, such as sodium ferrocyanide and tricalcium phosphate, are witnessing high demand, as they reduce individual adhesion of feed.
