Natural Food Colors Market Size, Share, Outlook

The global Natural Food Colors Market Size stood at US$ 2.1 Billion in 2022 and is poised to register 6.82% growth over the forecast period from 2023 to 2030. Key market driving forces including increased consumption of non-alcoholic drinks, robust global food and beverage market outlook, strong bakery and confectionary demand, increased consumer awareness towards ill-effects of synthetic colors, increased production of blended natural hues, and health consciousness among consumers are identified among main market dynamics

 

Natural Food Colors Market Analysis

Natural Food Colors are obtained from pigments, dyes, or any other substance that is extracted from vegetables, minerals, animals, or other natural sources. Demand in developing countries will continue its rapid growth, driven by rising incomes, rapid urbanization trends, and increasing population. However, considerable variation is observed between countries. Natural food color consumption in Latin America and Asian countries is increasing rapidly, offering significant opportunities for growth.

Steady growth in food and beverage consumption in developing markets, preference for natural and organic foods, widening applications across the food and beverages industry, and strong bakery and confectionary demand growth from developing countries are shaping the market outlook.

The global Natural Food Colors market is valued at around USD 2.1 Billion and is characterized by a large number of small- and large-scale players operating in the market. Despite strong competition from synthetic colors, the demand for Natural Food Colors continues to remain strong over the forecast period.

 

Market Dynamics

Market Trend- Increased consumption of Non-alcoholic beverages encourages demand for innovative natural food colors

Launch of new bottled water products, demand for premium hot drinks, the growing popularity of vegetable-derived juices, the organized retail sector, and consumer demand for innovative non-alcoholic beverages and Ready-to-consume drinks support the market growth for non-alcoholic beverages. The global non-alcoholic beverage manufacturers are increasing including natural colors to attract the millennial population and children. Typical colors of violet, red, orange, and yellow are widely used across drinks.

 

Market Driver- Strong bakery and confectionary demand growth from developing countries

The global confectionery and packaging market is witnessing rapid demand growth from developing economies, driven by rapid urbanization and emerging lifestyles in these markets. Further, growing middle-class incomes, the rapid surge in disposable incomes, and the increasing number of working-class women are driving the shift from traditional cooking to packaged foods and beverages.

Further, small and medium-scale domestic confectionery and bakery food providers are emerging across these countries, which fuels the demand for packaging materials. Cheap labor costs and availability of low-cost raw materials and relatively high use of plastic are the main market drivers.

However, supply chain management and inventory require additional attention in these markets as there exists a large number of informal channels manufacturing confectionery and bakery products. Further, spoilage issues, inadequate infrastructure, underdeveloped storage facilities, and limited information present challenges for expanding into these markets.

 

Market Segmentation

The global Natural Food Colors Market is segmented into Source, Applications, and Countries.

Caramel is the largest type of Natural Food Color with 33.5% market share

Caramel color is the most widely used food colorant across markets. The large market share of the color is driven by its vast applications in cola-flavored beverages, soya sauce, bread, cereals, bakery foods, and other foods. It is derived from natural sources such as corn syrup, sugar cane, malt syrup, and carbohydrates. Food makers often use low concentrations of caramel concentrate required in most food coloring applications

Diverse colors ranging from pale yellow to amber to dark brown are marketed for caramel color options. Leading companies like Symrise, Naturex, and others are focusing on developing multiple colors in place of traditional caramel colors.

Different caramel color types such as Plain Caramel, Sulfite Caramel, Ammonia Caramel, and Sulfite Ammonia Caramel find diverse applications across the food and beverage industry. In particular, strong demand for cola beverages and alcoholic beverages including beer supports the market demand for caramel colors. In addition, widespread use in bakery and confectionery products supports the demand for caramel.

 

The global food and beverages industry growth outlook remains robust throughout the forecast period

With fears of economic recession, food, and beverage companies remained under pressure during the pandemic. However, consumption at home has increased but out-of-home consumption has stalled. Essential food spending also witnessed an increase during the year. Despite the lockdown, food-based supermarkets, grocery stores, and food stalls remained open, driving business volumes.

• Dairy products, meat, and poultry products, fresh fruits, and vegetables will witness a strong demand surge in the near term future
• Both Non-alcoholic beverages and alcoholic beverages markets increased during 2021 and beyond
• Premium foods likely to take a toll in the short to medium term due to the pandemic
• Potential demand-side risks exist as threats of unemployment, wage cuts, and other aspects can lead to lower household consumption
• Small retail outlets suffered largely reflecting sluggish demand
• Asian markets are relatively shielded compared to developed markets
• Emphasis on food safety, tracing supply chains, and e-commerce
• Meal kits, frozen foods, and branded products witnessed an upsurge in demand

 

The recovery in global GDP and household spending activity will further strengthen the demand in 2021. Organizations like the OECD are encouraging action steps along the food chain to adapt rapidly to farming or midstream or downstream segment fluctuations to ensure the needs of vulnerable groups are successfully met.

 

Europe remains the dominant market for Natural Food colors during the forecast period

Europe is the largest market for Natural Food Colors, predominantly driven by organic food consumption habits in Western European markets.

Germany dominates the European Natural Food Colors Market. Leading color manufacturers are marketing colors obtained from fruits, vegetables, and edible plants for bakers, caterers, confectioners, ice cream manufacturers, and other professional users. Strong and natural color effects with minimal use of materials are gaining wide popularity in soft drinks, food, bakery, and other applications.

Among beverages, hot drinks and fruit and vegetable juices offer lucrative growth opportunities. Amidst the aging population, awareness of health and nutrition products will present opportunities in the segment. Further, the growth in the popularity of vegan foods is strengthening the market for natural colors.

Germany is the largest market for food and beverages in Europe and also has a robust food processing industry. Natural color solutions for food and beverage applications that extend from coloring concentrates to natural colorings and a range of cloud emulsions are marketed in the country. Amidst intense competitive conditions, companies are also marketing options to develop individual color solutions, which are tailored to customers’ choices.

Supporting food safety standards by EU Commission about the clean label will drive industry growth. The market growth across this country is driven by the young population, ease of product accessibility, and healthy diet regimes. In addition, Germany has robust RTE foods and dairy foods demand. The adoption of new culinary trends along with innovative cultural cuisines will have a positive influence on Germany's RTE food demand.

Strong market potential in the country is encouraging companies to aggressively evaluate inorganic growth expansion options. For instance, Symrise AG is evaluating options for acquiring the natural food coloring activities of Chr. Hansen Natural Colors A/S (now known as Oterra).
