Rising use of sizing and thickening agents in industrial applications: a major market driver

The rising demand for sizing and thickening agents from industries such as F&B, paper, textiles, and building and construction industries is expected to foster market growth. These are primarily used to increase the viscosity of sauces and soups without altering the taste. They enhance the texture and appearance of these commodities and are also used in jams, desserts, and jellies as gelling agents.

The ink holding capacity of sizing agents improve the printability of paper. Thus, it is popularly used in paper and paperboard applications. These agents are also used to improve the quality and printability of yarns and prevent the breakage of fibers.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for additives, adhesives, and sealants research, “Thickening agents are increasingly being used in cosmetic products. Polyethylene glycol and polyacrylic acid are some of the thickening agents that offer stability. Waxes and petroleum jelly are occasionally used as thickening agents.
