Calcium Propionate Market by Application (Food (Bakery Products, Dairy & Frozen Desserts, Meat, Fish & Seafood Products), Feed), Form (Dry and Liquid), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and RoW) - Global Forecast to 2023
[110 Pages Report] The calcium propionate market size was estimated at USD 277.1 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 363.3 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.6%. The growth of the calcium propionate market is driven by factors such as an increase in demand for clean-label food products with extended shelf life and the cost-effectiveness of calcium propionate as compared to other preservatives. Stringent legislation and regulations with respect to food safety and shelf life have made it difficult for food and feed processing industries to getting the right formulation of ingredients along with preservatives without affecting the product quality, which acts as a major restraint for the calcium propionate market.

“The demand for dry calcium propionate is exhibiting steady growth.”
On the basis of form, the dry segment is projected to exhibit a higher CAGR from 2018 to 2023. The dry segment led the market for calcium propionate. The growth of dry calcium propionate is attributed to factors such as ease of mixing and better dispersion throughout the food matrix; additionally, dry calcium propionate does not affect the leavening action of baking powder in bakery products.
“The food segment is set to dominate the calcium propionate market in 2018”.
On the basis of application, the food segment is estimated to dominate the calcium propionate market in 2018. Calcium propionate is highly used in bread in the food industry. The growth of the bread industry, especially in the developing economies, owing to high per capita bread consumption, fuels the demand for calcium propionate.
On the basis of form, the dry segment accounted for the largest market share due to factors such as ease of mixing and better dispersion throughout the food matrix. Additionally, dry calcium propionate does not affect the leavening action of baking powder in bakery products. Furthermore, dry form has a longer shelf life, facilitates better dispersion throughout the food matrix, and enhances flavor.
“Asia Pacific is projected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period.”
Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market for calcium propionate during the forecast period. The consumption is driven by rapid urbanization, economic growth, and rise in purchasing power of the middle-class population, leading to increased bakery & convenience food purchases in the region. The region is an emerging market for calcium propionate, with investments from several multinational manufacturers, especially in countries such as China, India, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.

Market Dynamics
“Increasing health concerns of consumers are driving the market for calcium propionates”
The calcium propionate market is driven by this rising demand for nutritional food and the increasing health consciousness among consumers. The preference of natural food additives over synthetic ones to eliminate health concerns also increases the demand for calcium propionate.
The food industry has begun using natural calcium propionate to make it as safe to consume as organic calcium salt of propionic acid, which is produced by fermentation with a selected strain of propionibacterium. The food industry also uses advanced technologies such as bacteriophages, MAP, and alternative preserving techniques combined with preservatives to maintain the quality and safety of food.
“Stringent regulations are a major restraint.”
Stringent legislations and regulations with respect to food safety and shelf life have meant that processing industries are keen on getting the right formulation to present the best food product to the consumer, and preservatives play a pivotal role in this aspect. Local and regional regulations are required to be checked for allowed applications and dosage levels. The stringent regulations pertaining to quality and food safety are projected to restrain the global calcium propionate market growth. For instance, in the US, the usage level of propionic acid and propionates is 0.1% to 0.4%. According to federal regulations, the addition of calcium propionate to a food product raises the pH by approximately 0.1 to 0.5 pH units depending on the amount, pH, and type of product. Also, federal regulations limit the maximum level for flour, white bread, and rolls at 0.32% based on the weight of the flour; for whole wheat products at 0.38% based on the weight of the flour; and for cheese products at 0.3%. Such stringent monitoring and regulations restrain the market growth.
“Untapped emerging markets are providing growth opportunities.”
The Middle Eastern & African countries are increasingly adopting calcium propionate due to changes in consumer lifestyles and increasing demand for fresh products. Asia Pacific is the second-largest market for calcium propionate after North America in 2023, owing to the increased awareness about calcium propionate and the benefits offered. It remains one of the important markets for calcium propionate manufacturers due to its size and its regulatory environment.
