The global pectin market has witnessed a healthy growth over the past few years. This can be accredited to the changing preferences of the health-conscious consumers and numerous applications of pectin in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries.
Pectin refers to a group of water-soluble carbohydrate substances which are mostly found in ripe fruits. It is obtained by the aqueous extraction from edible plant materials, such as apple pomace and citrus peel. Pectin is mainly used for its gelling property which improves the texture of drinks and gives them a jelly-like consistency. It is a high source of fibre and also treats diabetes, aids weight loss, controls diarrhoea and lowers cholesterol. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Pectin Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, estimates that the market reached a volume of 69,664 Tons in 2017. The report further anticipates the market to reach a volume 93,891 Tons by 2023, at a projected CAGR of 5% over the forecast period.
