North America to be a Major Regional Market for the Humectants Industry
The global humectants industry is being driven by the rising adoption of the product in the North American region. Owing to the FDA approval for the use of humectants in food products, North America is providing lucrative growth opportunities for the market growth. Europe is also expected to be a significant market for humectants. While the usage of synthetic humectants in Europe is limited by the decrease in the use of humectants in cosmetics, the region’s focus on natural humectants as opposed to synthetic humectants because of their less harmful effects is expected to provide the market with fresh growth opportunities in the region. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness a rapid growth rate in the forecast period, owing to rapid population growth, rising consciousness of food safety, and a rising number of investment projects in the food and beverage industry.
Humectants: Market Segmentation
Humectant is a hygroscopic compound used to keep stuff moist; since it is wet, it is the reverse of a desiccant. It is also a molecule with many hydrophilic groups, most often hydroxyl groups; but it is also possible to encounter amines and carboxyl groups, often esterified (its affinity to build hydrogen bonds with water molecules is the main characteristic). These materials are used in various products, such as food, beauty products, medicines, as well as pesticides.
