Chlorophylls & Chlorophyllins Market Driven by the Increasing Demand for Plant-Based Ingredients

Global Chlorophylls and Chlorophyllins Market: Overview

Chlorophylls are the naturally-derived fat soluble green pigment present in all plants and algae that photosynthesise and convert into chlorophyllin in the presence of alkali. Chlorophyllin is a chemical compound that is obtained from the saponification of solvent extracted out from alfalfa, spinach, grass or nettles that are dried before solvent extraction to form natural food colourants products. Chlorophyllins account for 90 % of the colouring matter in the food additives and the remaining part comprises other pigments such as carotenoids along with other edible oils, waxes and fats derived from the source material. Chlorophyllins are authorised food additives by the European Union (EU).

Global Chlorophylls and Chlorophyllins Market: Drivers and Restraints

The global chlorophylls and chlorophyllins market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for plant-based ingredients such as Avocado, cucumber, spinach, kale, broccoli, snow pea, zucchini, artichoke, lettuce, kiwi comprising nutrients such as Lutein, calcium, folate, zeaxanthin, vitamin C, β-carotene products since they are potentially beneficial as food colourants and are extensively used in food colouring market. Chlorophyll and chlorophyllin colourants are in abundance in nature as the green colour characteristic of photosynthetic plants and easy to extract. Growing demand among health conscious consumers for the green leafy vegetables and chlorophyllin is the natural source of bright shiny green colour.

However, there are few restraints to the chlorophyll and chlorophyllin as natural food colourants for market growth in other North American and European countries, as food colourants policies in these countries are strictly regulated.


Global Chlorophylls and Chlorophyllins Market: Segmentation

Global Chlorophylls and Chlorophyllins Market: Region wise Outlook

The global Chlorophylls and chlorophyllins Market is divided into seven regions, namely North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ), Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Japan and Middle East and Africa (MEA). North America holds the major share in the global chlorophylls and chlorophyllins Market in terms of production of chlorophylls and chlorophyllins products. The Chlorophylls and chlorophyllins market in the APEJ region especially in China is expected to expand at substantial growth rate. The Chlorophylls and chlorophyllins market growth in Latin America is robust, owing to the growing demand for natural food colourants in the region. The global chlorophyll and chlorophyllin food colourants adoption in MEA is relatively lesser than in other regions of the globe due to low availability of raw materials in this region.
