Sodium propionate is a food additive that is naturally occurring but can be industrially produced. It is highly used as an additive in various baked food products because they are highly toxic to molds and some bacteria. Baked food is highly susceptible to spoilage. Basically, sodium propionate is a salt form of propionic acid and is produced during the degradation of sugar. Moreover, it is also synthesized in the body during the metabolization of amino acids and certain fatty acids. The chemically produced sodium propionate is widely used as an additive in the food industry.
Global sodium propionate market is estimated to account for around US$ 48.02 Millions in terms of value in the year 2022 and it is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period (2023-2030)
Driver
Increasing production and consumption of meat products are projected to drive sodium propionate market expansion.
Increasing production, as well as consumption of meat products, is expected to fuel the market growth of sodium propionate. According to the North American Meat Institute, the meat and poultry industry is the largest segment of U.S. agriculture. U.S. meat production totaled 52 billion pounds in 2020 and U.S. poultry production totaled 48 billion pounds in 2020 Thus, the growing production of sodium propionate market size.
Market Opportunities
Robust growth in the bakery industry is expected to provide potential growth opportunities to the market of sodium propionate. According to The University of British Columbia, the Canadian bakery product market is expected to grow at a compound annualized rate of 3.4% from 2018-2022. Bread sales accounted for the largest portion of baked goods sales each year. In 2020, bread sales accounted for US$3.5 billion, or almost 63% of total sales that year.
Restraint
The high and uncontrolled raw material cost
The high and unregulated cost of raw materials is expected to hinder the market growth of sodium propionate. Ethylene is a basic ingredient used in the production of sodium propionate. In recent years ethylene has experienced a fluctuation in the prices which is impacting the overall increase in the price of sodium propionate. This is expected to hinder the market growth of sodium propionate over the forecast period.
