The global food flavors market size was USD 14.30 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow from USD 14.66 billion in 2021 to USD 20.12 billion by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.64% during the forecast period (2021-2028). According to the analysis, the global market exhibited a decline of -3.70% in 2020. The rise in CAGR is attributable to this market’s demand and growth, returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. There has been a negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global market, ultimately disrupting the global supply chain.


The global market is majorly fueled by the increasing consumption of various packaged eatable products and beverages. All packed edibles consist of various food additives which include flavoring agents. Owing to the fast-paced lifestyle and increasing working women population, the consumption of ready-to-eat food products is in demand. This directly aids the food flavors market growth.


Disruption of Supply Chain of Food Flavors amid COVID-19 to Hinder Growth


The current market is expected to be affected due to the global pandemic caused by coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Since most of the countries experienced nationwide lockdowns, the purchasing power of consumers has negatively impacted the growth of processed eatable products. Rules and regulations imposed by various governments regarding the gathering of people in places such as all types of markets (hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, and others.) for the purchase of food products have led to a slight decline in the sales of various edibles and beverages. Less manpower in the production houses and fewer stocks of edible products in various underdeveloped countries have become a threat to the market. On the other hand, the closure of restaurants, hotels, food chains, and others has negatively affected this market. Nevertheless, the market finds its pace to grow in the upcoming years owing to the regular consumption of packaged eatable products.

Growing Consumer Inclination Towards Organic and Clean-label Ingredients to Foster Industry Progress


The growing organic trend in various developing countries and the adoption of clean-label products are factors that aid natural food flavors growth. According to the Organic Trade Association, U.S. organic eatable sales witnessed a CAGR of 8.81% during the period from 2013 to 2018. Consumers’ inclination towards the consumption of natural products (chemical-free) and awareness regarding the ingredients on labels is positively impacting the growth of natural flavoring agents. Consumers prefer plant-based and plant-derived ingredients which helps them to lead a healthier lifestyle. The right amount of awareness regarding natural products among consumers is also a factor that helps in creating demand for organic ingredients in products.


DRIVING FACTORS


Consumer Inclination Towards Botanicals and Floral Flavors to Propel Industry Growth


Floral flavors emerged as one of the major flavor trends as per the 2019 food flavor market trends. Various floral and fruity flavors are added to the bakery products which gives a natural aroma and taste. Fruit flavors are usually paired with botanical flavors to give a natural aroma to edible products. Over the past few years, the floral and botanical flavors have grown from a niche sector to a larger one. A majority of floral essences are used in baked goods, and the growth rate of these aromas ranged by 132% between 2015-2018. A few examples of the flavors used in the bakery products are lemon-lavender cookies, honey-lavender gelato, lemon-violent granola, blackberry-rose marshmallows, and others. The adoption of floral flavors as a trend is attributed to the consumer’s willingness to spend on natural food products and ingredients.


Rising Consumer Awareness regarding Natural Food Flavors to Aid Market Growth


A significant number of consumers are aware of the synthetic ingredients that are used in food products. Rising awareness regarding the usage of natural ingredients and consumers’ inclination towards the consumption of clean-label ingredients may propel the usage of natural food essences. The manufacturers are capitalizing on the growing trend of clean-label products by developing products with flavours that are naturally sourced. The usage of natural flavors helps retain the ethnicity of the edible products and provides an authentic taste and flavor. In recent years, synthetic flavors such as pyridine, benzophenone, styrene, and ethyl acrylate are identified to be carcinogenic. These synthetic flavors are thus replaced by various natural flavors. The majority of natural flavorings act as a preservative, which subsides the usage of artificial preservatives.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Stringent Regulations to Constraint Market Growth


This industry has to legally abide by various rules and norms imposed by regulatory affairs. The regulatory standards vary from one country to the other, but the common goal is to maintain the quality of the flavors. Such regulations ensure proper labeling of the ingredients and the right usage of the flavorful essences in eatables. These norms and regulations imposed by various regulatory bodies will constraint the market growth as it delays the new product launch or development by the manufacturers, thereby leading to product recalls. Therefore, the stringent regulations imposed by multiple nations may negatively impact the global food flavor market.
