Furthermore, customers are also concerned about keeping track of their health, despite the ongoing fear and panic around the COVID-19 epidemic.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

• COST-EFFECTIVE AND FUNCTIONAL POTENTIAL OF CALCIUM PROPIONATE TO BOOST DEMAND

Calcium propionate is notably more cost-effective for food and nutrition preservation than other preservatives, including sodium propionate, sorbic acid, and sorbates. Calcium propionate assists in the elimination of potentially harmful microbes found in grains, resulting in higher-quality animal feed.

Opportunity

• TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS TO ENHANCE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

With the growing consumer demand for fresh foods and livestock-based goods, the calcium propionate market is expected to witness substantial growth during the assessment period. The availability of raw materials such as propionic acid is a major restraining factor in the calcium propionate market growth. With the advancement in developments and technology for propionic acid manufacturing, the supply would be positive in the long run.

Restraints
