Thickeners are substances added to solutions to increase the viscosity of the liquid without significantly affecting its taste and other properties. The type and quantity of thickener depends on the nature of the final product. Thickeners are usually grouped as food-grade thickeners and non-food grade thickeners. They are further segmented on the basis of raw material into mineral thickeners and hydrocolloid thickeners. Mineral thickeners such as clay and silica and hydrocolloid thickeners such as starches, gums, cellulose, gelatin, pectin, and carrageenan are covered in this report.
The production of thickener distributed in North America, Europe and China. North America account for 30% of global production, while Europe took for about 21% of total production. China took for 18%. However, Japan and South America thickener production is relatively low. Ashland, ADM, CP Kelco, MC Corp, Cargill and BASF are the famous manufacturers in this field.
As an important additive, thickener is widely used in Food & Beverages, Paints & Coatings，Detergent, etc.. Food & Beverages is the largest downstream of thickeners, taking 30% of the world thickener consumption, while Paints & Coatings and Detergent industry taking for 18% and 14%, respectively.
