According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Food Grade Calcium Sulfate market size was valued at US$ 437 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 609 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.7% during review period.
In 2025, global Food Grade Calcium Sulfate production reached approximately 1,415 K tons, with an average global market price of around 300 US$/ton.
Food Grade Calcium Sulfate is a highly purified form of calcium sulfate (CaSO₄), including calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O, gypsum) and anhydrous calcium sulfate, manufactured to comply with food additive standards such as FCC, FDA, and E516 regulations. It is a white, odorless, fine mineral powder mainly produced through the purification of natural gypsum or controlled chemical synthesis. Due to its excellent safety profile, calcium content, moisture absorption, and functional properties, it is widely used as a food additive, firming agent, stabilizer, dough conditioner, anticaking agent, processing aid, and calcium fortification ingredient in applications including tofu production, bakery products, dairy alternatives, beverages, nutritional supplements, and processed foods.
The demand for Food Grade Calcium Sulfate is expected to maintain steady growth, supported by increasing consumption of processed foods, plant-based protein products, and functional foods worldwide. The expansion of tofu and soy-based food industries, particularly in Asia-Pacific, continues to drive demand for calcium sulfate as a traditional coagulant, while growing consumer preference for clean-label ingredients and calcium-enriched foods creates additional opportunities in bakery, beverage, and nutritional applications. Compared with industrial-grade calcium sulfate, food-grade products offer higher value through advanced purification, particle-size control, and compliance with international food safety standards, providing opportunities for manufacturers to develop premium grades, customized formulations, and regional supply networks. Future market opportunities will mainly focus on high-purity products, sustainable mineral sourcing, and applications in emerging plant-based food categories.
