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.
As an important additive, thickener is widely used in Food & Beverages, Paints & Coatings,Detergent, etc.. Food & Beverages is the largest downstream of thickeners, taking 30.04% of the world thickener consumption in 2016, while Paints & Coatings and Detergent industry taking for 18.02% and 14.10%, respectively.
The production of thickener distributed in North America, Europe and China. In 2016, North America produced 541.2 K MT thickeners accounting for 30.35% of global production, while Europe manufactured 391.0 K MT and took for about 21.93% of total production.
