The global food additives market size was valued at USD 99.22 billion in 2021, and is predicted to be worth around USD 155.48 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030.
Growth Factors
Rising consumption of ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook, and meal replacement food and beverages are expected to fuel the demand for food additives. For instance, according to the survey results published by the Food Standards Agency in May 2021, approximately 81.0% of survey respondents in the U.K. confirmed buying processed food products from April 2020 to March 2021. Food additives are commonly added to these products to enhance their appearance and mouthfeel.
The requirement of improving taste, texture, mouthfeel, and overall appearance of food and beverages is expected to propel the demand for food additives. The growing food and beverages industry globally is the key factor driving the market. The consumption of packaged food products and beverages across the world is rising due to the changing dietary patterns of the population. This is expected to contribute to the surging demand for additives used during food processing to improve its quality and nutritional content.
Manufacturers of food and beverage products are formulating their products with botanical ingredients due to shifting consumer preference towards plant-based diets. Plant-derived products often impart unpleasant or bitter after taste leading to an unappealing mouthfeel. Demand for food additives has surged as they are used as flavors, sweeteners, hydrocolloids, and preservatives to enhance taste and texture and increase the shelf life of such products.
