subject: Key Players In The Global Additives Industry--- Aarkstore Enterprise [print this page] Consolidation continues to feature strongly within the global additives industry, a trend which has been accentuated by the pressures caused by the worldwide economic downturn. Many western-based operators have also had to contend with the growing threat posed by lower-cost suppliers in countries such as China, especially within product sectors like vitamins and sweeteners. With a few notable exceptions (e.g. Danisco and Tate & Lyle), the majority of suppliers of additives tend to specialise in one or two specific product sectors, partly in response to their customers demands for ever more specifically tailored ingredient solutions. Many are also investing into emerging regions to take advantage of higher growth rates.
