Pectin is defined as a polysaccharide which is made up of linear polymers. It is an essential carbohydrate found in various edible items such as pears, apples, and oranges, among others. Pectin is eco-friendly, naturally occurring, and biodegradable, which makes it ideal for various applications. The commercial procurement of pectin involves extraction from peels of citrus fruits such as oranges. Pectin possesses medicinal properties such as the ability to reduce bleeding and can be provided to the human body in various ways such as oral or intravenous. The increasing utilisation of pectin across food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological sectors, is driving the global pectin market.

In the food and beverage sector, pectin is used as a thickening agent, gelling agent, and colloidal stabiliser. Hence, the thriving food and beverage sector across the emerging economies, fuelled by growing populations, rising disposable income, and increasing footfall in supermarkets and hypermarkets, is propelling the market growth for pectin. Meanwhile, pectin is also used to manufacture bakery and confectionary products, which are witnessing heightened sales. The increasing accessibility of clean-labelled bakery products through quick grocery delivery services is further supporting the market for pectin.

Pectin is also used to manufacture low-calorie jams, solidify jams, and produce high-quality preservatives. In this regard, the increasing health consciousness among the young working population is generating the demand for low-calorie jams, fruit beverages, and milk drinks, which is in turn propelling the applications of pectin. Meanwhile, the growing research and development activities by the leading food processing companies aimed towards developing jams and milk drinks with innovative flavours are expected to expand the market opportunities.

The medicinal properties of pectin make it widely applicable in the pharmaceutical sector which is witnessing exponential growth globally.
