As such, manufacturers are forced to focus on natural sources for developing natural food additives. However, this is proving to be a challenging task owing to the shortage of raw material supply and difficulty in working with natural sources.


Availability of Synthetic Additives at Cheap Prices to Provide Growth Opportunity to Manufacturers in Emerging Countries

Although the rising health awareness among consumers is driving the demand for natural food additives, the use of synthetic additives is still acceptable in the emerging economies. The rising demand for food and beverages and the availability of synthetic additives at affordable prices is driving their demand. Another factor why synthetic additives are being preferred to their natural counterparts, is the fact that natural additives have low shelf life. Moreover, natural additive products are being perceived as premium products and thus, are extremely expensive as compared to synthetic additives.

By product, the flavors and enhancers segment led the market in 2014 and will continue to retain its leading position in the coming years, states a TMR analyst. By source, the artificial segment led the market in 2014 and will continue to do so by the end of 2021. By geography, the global food additives market was led by Europe in 2014. However, Asia Pacific is expected to take over the leading position by 2021.

According to the report, the global market opportunity in food additives will rise from US$31.43 bn in 2014 to US$39.85 bn by 2021 expanding at a 3.4% CAGR from 2015 to 2021.
