Market Overview:
Wood-derived Food Additives are ingredients, which are primarily used to preserve flavor, taste, and other sensory food qualities. Additionally, these additives help in extending the product shelf-life. Wood-derived food additives such as fibrillated CELLULOSE, Lignin, xylan, vanillin, and CMC serves an essential role in the manufacturing of packaged and convenience food.
The global wood-derived food additives market is increasing due to increased demand from the foods and beverages industry. Growing health concerns among the global population together with the increasing awareness about the benefits of consuming food additives are the key driving factors for the growth of the wood-derived food additives market. In addition to the changing lifestyle, the growing demand for foods, beverages, confectionery, and other food products is expected to drive the global wood-derived food additives market.

Nevertheless, all these factors are projected to contribute to the estimated CAGR of 4.3% of the wood-derived food additives market during the forecast period 2017-2023.
