They are extensively used in bakery, dairy, confectionery, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, owing to their versatility, safety, and compatibility with sustainable product trends
- The escalating demand for polyglycerol esters is primarily fueled by the growth of processed food consumption, increasing focus on clean-label formulations, and rising consumer awareness of eco-friendly and multifunctional ingredients. Their broad application scope and ability to meet regulatory and consumer expectations make them an essential component in the evolving food and personal care industries
- U.S. dominated the North America Polyglycerol Esters Market in 2024, due to strong demand from the food processing industry, particularly in bakery, confectionery, dairy, and beverage applications
- Canada is expected to be the fastest growing country in the North America Polyglycerol Esters Market during the forecast period due to rising demand for natural emulsifiers in processed foods, beverages, and personal care products
- Food grade segment dominated the market with a market share of 53.1% in 2024, due to its extensive application in bakery, confectionery, dairy, and beverage products as an emulsifier and stabilizer. Food processors favor food-grade PGE due to its ability to improve texture, extend shelf life, and enhance product consistency without compromising safety. Rising consumer demand for clean-label and plant-derived emulsifiers has also strengthened the position of food grade PGEs in global markets, especially in packaged food production
