Global Food Texture Market- Impact of COVID
During the pandemic, several factors have influenced the food texture market. One of the primary impacts has been the disruption in the global supply chain. With restrictions on transportation and trade, many food manufacturers faced challenges in sourcing raw materials and ingredients needed to produce specific textures. This disruption led to shortages and delays in the availability of certain food textures, affecting the overall market. Furthermore, the pandemic also altered consumer behavior and preferences. With lockdowns and social distancing measures in place, people's eating habits changed. There was an increased demand for shelf-stable and convenience foods, which often have different textures compared to fresh or perishable products. This shift in consumer preferences led to a change in the demand and production of specific food textures.

The foodservice industry, including restaurants and cafeterias, also experienced significant setbacks during the pandemic. With restrictions on dining out and the closure of many establishments, there was a decline in demand for food textures used in the foodservice sector. This decline directly impacted the food texture market, as manufacturers had to adapt to the changing landscape and focus more on retail and packaged food products.
