Leading Pectin Manufacturers in the World

The global pectin market size reached US$ 1,170.8 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 2,256.0 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3% during 2024-2032. The top pectin companies are rapidly investing in several R&D activities to increase yield, strengthen productivity, and raise the purity levels in the products. Moreover, they are also focusing on the production of organic ingredients due to the increasing demand for plant-based natural ingredients across the pharmaceutical, food and beverages, and cosmetic industries. Additionally, to meet the changing food preferences, coupled with the prevalent trend of ready-to-eat food items, the pectin manufacturers are boosting their production capacities for providing pectin as a stabilizing and thickening agent, in food processing. Furthermore, the companies are engaged in improving the pectin quality, which is used in medicines for controlling high cholesterol, preventing colon cancer, and prostate cancer. Apart from this, the key players are also undergoing various mergers and acquisitions for strengthening their businesses; for instance, one of the significant players, Danisco was acquired by DuPont in 2011 to expand its role in health, nutrition, and industrial bioscience. Also, Naturex acquired Zpow Pektowin SA (Pektowin), a Polish company specialized in pectin, fruit and vegetable juice concentrates.
