Alginates Market – Overview:

Alginates are a group of viscous polysaccharides derived from brown seaweeds and produced as an extracellular matrix by some bacterial species. Traditionally, Alginates have been used as thickeners, emulsifiers and stabilising agents in a number of food applications. A number of new food applications are emerging for Alginates, based on their unique biochemical and    biophysical properties.

Alginates are a biomaterial that has found numerous applications in biomedical science and engineering due to its favourable properties, including biocompatibility and ease of gelation. Alginates hydrogels have been particularly attractive in wound healing, drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications to date, as these gels retain structural similarity to the extracellular matrices in tissues and can be manipulated to play several critical roles.

Over the last decades, Alginates, natural multifunctional polymers, have increasingly drawn attention as attractive compounds in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields due to their unique physicochemical properties and versatile biological activities.

Western countries particularly the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Germany France have higher demand for Alginates. Rise in downstream market applications for Alginates from food and beverages, pharmaceuticals and other industrial applications are driving higher demand for Alginates. 

Alginates is gaining a huge traction especially from food and beverages industry in the current time, owing to its functional properties such as thickening agent, gelling agent, stabilizer, emulsifier and film-forming property. This increasing demand in food industry is attributed due to its extraction from natural seaweeds is it considered as one of safest food additive in food industry it is also certified by FAO/WHO. Simultaneously, Demand for Alginates from textile industry is also on rise as it can be used for printing, designing and dyeing on cotton and jute fabrics.
