Anti-caking agents are additives that are available in the form of granulated or powdered materials that aid in preventing the formation of lumps. They are dissolvable in alcohol and water among others. Anti-caking agents create a water-repellent coating or absorb excess moisture on the powdered particles. They are applied in powdered products for ease of consumption, transport, and packaging. However, they do not possess any nutritional value. The high adaptability of anti-caking agents is one of the key factors expected to push the demand for this market during the forecast period. Additionally, the increasing demand for convenience /packaged foods, which is backed by the increasing purchasing power of consumers, is another major contributing factor to the overall growth of the anti-caking market at the global level. Further, the growth of the anti-caking market is also attributed to the increasing demand for fast food, takeaway, and processed food, and innovation through extensive research and development activities.

Anti-Caking Agents Market Growth Factors
Stringent regulations set by the government are likely to inhibit the growth of the anti-caking agents market. Further, the health hazard of anti-caking agents is another major factor barring the growth of this market at present. However, untapped markets are expected to pose a suitable opportunity for the growth of the anti-caking agents market in near future, by allowing major manufacturers to penetrate emerging economies. This owes due to the exponential growth of the food and beverage industry, even in emerging economies.
Anti-Caking Agents Market Segmentation
The worldwide anti-caking agents market is categorized based on source, type, application, and geography.
Anti-Caking Agents Market By Source
- Natural
- Synthetic
According to the anti-caking agents industry analysis, synthetic anti-caking agents dominate the anti-caking agents market. Synthetic anti-caking agents are generally less expensive to produce and more effective than natural anti-caking agents at preventing caking and clumping. They also have a longer shelf life, which makes them a popular choice among manufacturers of processed foods and convenience products. Some of the common anti-caking agents available in the market are powdered cellulose, sodium bicarbonate, calcium ferrocyanide, sodium ferrocyanide, stearic acid, and tricalcium phosphate among others. Sodium aluminosilicate is an anti-caking agent used in table salts. Additionally, it also finds applications in dried milk, egg mixtures, flours, and sugar products.
Organic and sustainable products, including natural anti-caking agents, are becoming increasingly popular. Natural anti-caking agents are becoming more popular as consumers become more health-conscious and alert of the potential side effects of synthetic anti-caking agents. As a result, natural anti-caking agents such as magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, and rice hulls have been developed and commercialized.
Anti-Caking Agents Market By Type
- Calcium Compounds
- Sodium Compounds
- Magnesium Compounds
- Microcrystalline Cellulose
- Silicon Dioxide
- Others
According to our findings, calcium and sodium compounds hold the majority of the market share for anti-caking agents. Calcium compounds, such as calcium carbonate and calcium silicate, are commonly used in the food and beverage industries to prevent caking and improve powder and granule flowability. Other industries that use them include fertilisers, feed, and pharmaceuticals. As anti-caking agents, sodium compounds such as sodium bicarbonate and sodium ferrocyanide are also commonly used. They're especially good at keeping salts, spices, and seasoning blends from caking and clumping.
