Food grade calcium chloride market is estimated to be valued at USD 989.3 Mn in 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.1% over the forecast period (2024-2031). Food grade calcium chloride is an inorganic salt that is widely used as a firming agent in the food industry. It is often added to processed foods, baked goods and canned vegetables to enhance texture and prevent spoilage. Calcium chloride contributes calcium ions that help improve the strength and integrity of cell walls in plants. It binds water more tightly than sodium chloride, allowing food producers to reduce the sodium content without compromising texture and shelf life. As consumers become increasingly health conscious and demand for low-sodium food options rises, there will be demand for calcium chloride as a functional food additive in the future.

Market Dynamics

Food grade calcium chloride market growth is primarily driven by growing demand from the processed food industry. Food processing companies extensively use calcium chloride as a stabilizer, thickener and firming agent. Its usage helps extend shelf life without adding sodium. The market has also witnessed opportunities, owing to increasing consumption of ready-to-eat meals, packaged snacks and convenience foods globally. Calcium chloride improved texture and stability in canned vegetables, fruits, meat products and baked goods. However, stringent regulations regarding the usage of minerals in food products can hamper the market growth. Availability of alternative food preservatives limits the demand for calcium chloride.
