Food-Grade Silica as an Anti-Caking Agent: Top 3 Downstream Products by Usage Volume

Based on the application scenarios and market data of food-grade silica anti-caking agent (also known as edible silica anti-caking agent), the top three downstream products with the largest usage volume are dairy products (milk powder/whey powder), condiments (salt/chicken essence/compound seasonings), and solid beverages (coffee powder/protein powder) in sequence. This article elaborates on the application characteristics, market drivers and compliance standards of food-grade silicon dioxide usage in these fields.

Dairy Products (Milk Powder, Whey Powder, etc.)

Core Demand Driver: Silica in milk powder (especially infant formula milk powder) and silica for whey powder are in high demand due to the inherent properties of dairy products—fine particles and strong hygroscopicity make them extremely prone to caking. As a key food additive silica (anti-caking), silica absorbs moisture and forms a physical barrier on the particle surface, which significantly improves fluidity during production and reconstitution for consumers.
Market Scale Support: La industria láctea global cuenta con una escala masiva. Solo en China, el consumo anual de leche en polvo para bebés supera 1 millón de toneladas, y el nivel de adición de sílice de grado alimenticio aquí suele ser del 0.5%-2%, lo que convierte directamente a los productos lácteos en el mayor campo de aplicación de los agentes antiaglomerantes de sílice de grado alimenticio.
Compliance Requirements: International standards (e.g., FAO/WHO) stipulate that the maximum silica usage standard in milk powder is 10g/kg, while China's GB 2760-2024 food silica regulation allows 15g/kg in milk powder, providing policy guarantees for its large-scale application.

Condiments (盐, 鸡精, 复合调味料)

High-Usage Scenarios:
Edible Salt: Refined salt has fine particles and strong moisture absorption, so silica for edible salt is widely used with an addition level of approximately 0.1%-0.3%. China's annual salt consumption exceeds 10 million tons, creating a steady demand for silica.
Chicken Essence & Compound Seasonings: These products have complex components (salt, sugar, amino acids, etc.), so chicken essence anti-caking silica and silica for compound seasonings are essential. The addition level is usually 1%-3%, and the market scale of China's compound seasonings is expected to reach 250 billion yuan in 2025, with a growth rate far exceeding that of traditional condiments, driving up silica demand.
Spices: Powdered spices like pepper powder and chili powder have large surface areas, so silica in spices (pepper/chili powder) is needed to maintain fluidity, with an addition level of 1%-2%.
``` msgid "Technology Substitution Trend: Although anti-caking agents such as potassium ferrocyanide are still used in some edible salt, high-purity silica for food is gaining increasing popularity in high-end salt (e.g., low-sodium salt, sea salt) due to its food silica safety & no off-odor advantages." msgstr "技术替代趋势：尽管某些食用盐中仍使用如氰化钾等抗结剂，但由于食品级高纯度硅土的安全性和无异味的优势，它在高端盐（例如低钠盐、海盐）中越来越受欢迎。" ```

Solid Beverages (Café en poudre, Poudre de protéine, Poudre de thé au lait)

Industrial Production Demand: Solid beverages require uniform fluidity in large-scale production. For example, silica in coffee powder and protein powder anti-caking silica can effectively prevent the "bridging" phenomenon during filling, ensuring smooth production. The food-grade silica addition level here is usually 0.5%-2%, and milk tea powder silica additive also follows a similar standard.
Driven by Consumption Upgrade: With rising health awareness, the market for functional solid beverages (e.g., protein powder, meal replacement powder) is growing rapidly. Data shows that the annual output of ready-to-drink coffee and solid milk tea in China increased by 18.7% year-on-year, directly driving functional solid beverages silica demand up by 13.2%.
Special Scenario Application: High-end products like maternal and infant formula food and sports nutrition powder have strict requirements for anti-caking agent purity. Silica becomes the first choice due to its strong stability, which is in line with the demand for high-purity silica for food.

Other Important Application Fields

Baking Premixes: Farine, poudre à gâteau et autres prémélanges de cuisson ajoutent de la silice (niveau d'ajout : 0,1 % - 0,5 %) pour améliorer les performances de traitement et prévenir l'agglomération. Bien que le marché des aliments cuits au four en Chine ait une échelle annuelle de plus de 250 milliards de yuans, l'utilisation d'agents anti-agglomérants est relativement dispersée, donc elle ne figure pas parmi les trois premiers.
Healthcare Products: Vitamin powder, mineral supplements, and other healthcare products add silica (addition level: 0.5%-2%) to maintain fluidity. Despite the rapid growth of the healthcare product market, its overall usage is still lower than that of the top three categories.
Oil Products: Non-dairy creamer and powdered oil use silica to adsorb oil and convert it into stable powder, with an addition level of about 1%-3%. These products are widely used in coffee mates and milk tea but have limited overall demand compared to the top three.

Data Support and Trend Analysis

``` msgid "Market Share Proportion: Dairy products, condiments, and solid beverages account for more than 70% of the total usage of food-grade silica anti-caking agent. Specifically, dairy products account for about 35%, condiments about 30%, and solid beverages about 25%, reflecting the dominant position of these three categories in food silica anti-caking application." msgstr "市场份额比例：乳制品、调味品和固体饮料占食品级硅酸盐抗结剂总使用量的70%以上。具体而言，乳制品约占35%，调味品约占30%，固体饮料约占25%，反映了这三类在食品硅酸盐抗结应用中的主导地位。" ```
msgid "Growth Potential:" msgstr "Crecimiento Potencial:"
Dairy Products: La demande pour l'application de silice alimentaire haut de gamme (poudre de lait biologique/poudre de lait hydrolysée) est en croissance, ce qui continuera à stimuler l'augmentation de l'utilisation de silice dans le domaine des produits laitiers.
Condiments: 在盐减和糖减的趋势下，复合调味料对功能性抗结剂的要求更高，进一步推动了调味品硅石的需求。
Solid Beverages: La popularidad de los productos nutricionales personalizados (por ejemplo, polvo de proteína personalizado) y los escenarios instantáneos (por ejemplo, paquetes de café portátiles) traerá un crecimiento incremental a la demanda de sílice para bebidas sólidas.

Conclusion

The top three products with the largest usage of food-grade silica as an anti-caking agent are dairy products (milk powder/whey powder), condiments (salt/chicken essence/compound seasonings), and solid beverages (coffee powder/protein powder). This ranking is determined by food-grade silica market share, addition proportion, and industry growth potential. Dairy products and condiments occupy a dominant position due to their high industrialization level and large consumer base, while solid beverages are rapidly emerging driven by health and convenience trends, jointly promoting the steady development of the food-grade silica anti-caking agent market.
