Potassium Alginate Market Analysis:

The increasing utilization of potassium alginate in the cosmetic industry is impelling the growth of the market. Potassium alginate is often incorporated in various skincare products like face masks and face gels due to its moisturizing properties and film-forming capabilities. It helps to combat the signs of dryness and reduces the occurrence of dry patches on skin. It provides a youthful glow and also tightens the overall texture of the skin. As a result, individuals are increasingly purchasing a wide variety of skincare products integrated with potassium alginate. As per the global report on atopic dermatitis 2022 published by Global Atopic Dermatitis Atlas, around 223 million people are living with atopic dermatitis in 2022, of which 43 million are aged between 1 to 4 years. This further catalyzed the demand for topical products that offer efficient hydration to the skin.

Moreover, increasing investments in research operations by key market players to improve the functionalities of potassium alginate is propelling the market growth. For instance, KIMICA has obtained a pharmaceutical manufacturing license ta its Chiba Plant in Japan to provide alginate products as active pharmaceutical ingredients (API).

Potassium Alginate Market Trends:

Growing Demand in Food and Beverage (F&B) Industry

The increasing utilization of potassium alginate in the food and beverage (F&B) sector is strengthening the market growth. Potassium alginate offers unique gelling, thickening, and stabilizing properties, making it an appropriate component in a variety of products, such as ice creams, jellies, and beverages. Its ability to enhance texture and viscosity, while also serving as a fat substitute, aligns with the increasing consumer preference for healthier and clean-label food options. Moreover, the rising adoption of vegan diets among the masses is driving the demand for vegan food products consisting of plant-based ingredients like alginates which are obtained from seaweed. In a global survey conducted by NSF, 88% of the food industry practitioners stated that they expect the demand for plant-based products to increase.

Advancements in Pharmaceutical Applications

The increasing employment of potassium alginate in the pharmaceutical sector to manufacture various medications due to its effects on cholesterol and blood sugar lowering. The biocompatibility and non-toxic nature, coupled with the ability to form hydrogels, make potassium alginate an excellent compound for controlled drug release formulations. In wound care, potassium alginate dressings are prized for their high absorbency and ability to fasten the entire healing process, providing a moist environment conducive to tissue regeneration.

According to a report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2022, between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the population of the world over 60 years will nearly double from 12% to 22%. The expansion of the aging population globally, along with a rise in chronic diseases and conditions requiring advanced wound management solutions, will drive demand for potassium alginate in the pharmaceutical industry.

Latest Industry News:

The market is also being driven by acquisitions and collaborations:

• March 2023: JRS Group announced the acquisition of Algaia SA to strengthen its seaweed ingredient business. Both firms joining forces offer the best conditions to meet the growing global demand for natural, renewable and biodegradable solutions for a wide range of industries.
• March 2024: FMC Corporation declared its collaboration with Novonesis to develop novel biological technology for Canadian Farmers.
