UK Sodium Reduction Ingredient Market Analysis
The United Kingdom sodium reduction ingredient market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.4% during the forecast period 2020 - 2025.
- The market is majorly driven by increasing awareness regarding the health effects of excessive sodium consumption. Processed foods contain excessive sodium levels, often because salt tends to bring out the taste in savory flavor perception. According to the World Health Organization's 2002 'World Health Report', the processed foods, including soups, sauces, and snacks, contribute 75% of people's salt intake. Thus, growing awareness of such reports among consumers has led to the rising preference for processed foods with reduced sodium content. This is expected to strengthen the demand for sodium reduction ingredients in the food and beverage industries.
- Furthermore, sodium reduction ingredients are gaining prominence in food flavors and preparations such as seasonings and sauces, as these ingredients also act as masking agents that remove bitterness and metallic after-taste in food products.
