(Food-Beverage-News.Com, September 24, 2021 ) The food colors market is estimated to be USD 4.3 billion in 2021; it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% to reach USD 5.4 billion by 2026. Food colors play a significant role in enhancing the visual appeal of off-color or colorless products. They also help to retain the original properties of vitamins, flavors, and nutrients in food products that can get altered due to sunlight. The increase in consumption of processed food products across regions is a major factor that is projected to drive the demand for food colors. The demand for confectionery and dairy products is increasing, particularly in emerging economies, such as India, China, Brazil, Argentina, Japan, and South Africa. This has led to an increase in the consumption of food colors, which is projected to continue over the next five years.
The demand for natural food colors as compared to synthetic food colors is increasing due to the growing consumer awareness for clean label products, health hazards associated with synthetic colors, and the health benefits achieved by using natural food colors. Synthetic colors can cause allergic disorders among consumers. The use of chemicals with heavy metals, such as lead or arsenic, to manufacture synthetic food colors can cause life-threatening diseases.
Natural food colors are gaining market attention due to their natural origin, appealing to consumers who view them as a “safe to use” product. Natural colors reduce the risk of allergies and intolerance among consumers. These factors are witnessing an increase in demand for natural colors in food & beverage applications.

The need for natural ingredients with traceability of their origin and extraction has become an important factor due to COVID-19. Veganism has witnessed significant growth over the last couple of years. It is further projected to increase, and consumer demand is projected to shift to plant-based ingredients and products. The outbreak of COVID-19 and negative associations with animal-based foods is further projected to encourage consumers to opt for plant-based ingredients and thus drive thre deamnds for natural food colurs in the food colors market.
