Growing Processed Food Industry to Promote 1,2 -Hexanediol Market

Published: Apr 2024

The global 1,2-hexanediol market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period (2024–2031). The market growth is driven by the growth in the processed foods industry with changes in food consumption patterns. Wherein, most processed foods including ready-to-drink, ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook, and frozen foods require preservatives to increase shelf life, prevent deterioration from enzymes, microorganisms, and exposure to oxygen, 1,2-hexanediol is used as a preservative in foods and sometimes in functional foods for nutritional benefits. As perthe US Department of Agriculture, meat processing is the largest industry group in food and beverage manufacturing based on sales, value-added, and employment. Meat processing includes livestock and poultry slaughter, processing, and rendering. It is the largest industry group in food and beverage manufacturing, with 26.2% of sales in 2021. Other important industry groups by sales include dairy (12.8%), other foods (12.0%), beverages (11.3%), and grain and oilseeds (10.4%).
