North America Sodium Reducing Agents Market by Type (Amino Acids, Mineral Salts, Yeast Extracts, Others) by Application (Dairy & Frozen Foods, Bakery & Confectionery, Meat Products, Sauces, Seasonings, & Snacks, Others) - Forecasts till 2019

The North American sodium reducing agents market is estimated to grow at CAGR of 10.6% from 2014 to 2019. For many manufacturers in the food industry, salt reduction is an important issue. Though a major reduction has been observed in the past few years, the government wants to further reduce the level of salts in all food products. Manufacturers are formulating new recipes for their processed foods in order to reduce the salt content in their products. Consumers perceive that low salt content does not give taste to the product. Thus, innovations are being made to introduce ingredients that would reduce the salt and at the same time maintain or enhance the taste of the final product.

The sodium reducing agent market is gaining importance due to the increase in the number of patients suffering from hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.  Amino acids, mineral salts, yeast extracts are the commonly used sodium reducing agents. The cost of producing low sodium mineral salts is much lower than the other two segments.

The North American sodium reducing agents market is dominated by the U.S., and is followed by Canada.  In the U.S., aggressive public awareness campaigns to promote the use of sodium reducing agents across the food industry are among the key factors driving the market.

The North American sodium reducing agents market is a competitive market, with firms such as Tate & Lyle Plc (U.S.), Kerry Group Plc (U.S.), and Novozymes A/S (Denmark), among others, which are expanding their market shares in the North American region. To gain market share, these companies are adapting numerous marketing strategies including innovative product development, partnerships, mergers & acquisitions, and expansion of existing facilities. Apart from these companies, there are a large number of small firms present in the North American market.

Sodium is indigenously used as an essential nutrient, mandatory for the smooth functioning of the body. Though sodium is important for the normal functions of the body, it is also responsible for creating hypertension or cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is recommended that the sodium content in most food products, which are consumed on a daily basis, be reduced. High sodium food represents severe health issues as reported by many organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO). An average sodium intake of 1,500 mg – 2,300 mg per day is tolerable to lead a healthy life for an adult. However, according to recent data available, Canadians and Americans consume 3,400 mg per day, which would lead to chronic diseases in most of the adult population in forthcoming years.

Altering the food consumption habits of a particular population is a difficult task. The dietary habits of a population rely on the social, economic, and cultural environment. Most of the sodium chloride intake is through processed foods consumed on a daily basis. Processed foods form over two thirds of the sodium consumed in the region.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the North American market for the sodium reducing agent. This report includes revenue forecasts, and market trends and opportunities for the period from 2014 to 2019. The analysis has been conducted on the various market segments derived on the basis of the application of sodium reducing agent and further segmented on the basis of sodium reducing agent type.

The North American sodium reducing agent market was valued at $281.2 million in 2014 and is projected to reach $466.4 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 10.6% during the period under consideration. The market, by application, was led by the sauces, seasonings, and snacks segment in 2014, with a 33.5% share.  The mineral salts segment is the largest contributor to the North American market, among the different types of sodium reducing agents.
