Food Preservatives Market to be worth US$2.56 bn by 2020 owing to Rising Demand for Convenience Food

Transparency Market Research (TMR) has announced the addition of a new market study on the food preservatives market. The report is titled “Food Preservatives Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2014 - 2020.” According to the report, the global food preservatives market is expected to grow from US$2.0 bn in 2013 and is projected to reach a valuation of US$2.56 bn by 2020, expanding at a CAGR of 3.50% between 2014 and 2021.

Food preservatives are added to food products to prevent microbial growth and spoilage of food. Food preservatives help in extending the shelf life of food and are thus used in the packaged and processed foods industry. Given the high demand for packaged food, convenience food or ready-to-eat meals, the global food preservatives market is expected to witness steady growth in the coming years.

The global food preservatives market is driven by the growing concern over food safety. The rising incidences of disease outbreaks and food poisoning are fueling the demand for preservatives. The rising trend of natural food preservatives is expected to drive the market in the coming years. On the other hand, the difficulty in working with natural preservatives and the interventions and regulations by the government will threaten the global food preservatives market.

The global food preservatives market is segmented on the basis of type, function, application, and geography. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into natural and synthetic preservatives. While synthetic preservatives are currently in demand, the trend will change soon as focus shifts to natural ingredients. The natural preservatives segment will witness a rise as manufacturers are increasingly focusing their research and development activities on natural preservatives. Another trend of mixing different preservatives to reduce cost is expected to drive the global food preservatives market.
