The Calcium Propionate Market is emerging with a positive growth due to increasing preferences for fresh food and livestock-based products. Food and feed security has always remained key contentious issues, globally, as demand outstrips supply. In order to avoid food wastage and spoilage, there is a growing demand for antimicrobials by food companies so as to deliver the consumers with safe food products.
