The global Food Preservatives market was valued at $2,511.5 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $3,671.7 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 3.4% from 2022 to 2031. Preservatives are used in a variety of items, including snacks, bread, confectionery, meat, fish, and poultry, among others, to maintain the natural properties of food and extend the shelf life of food products for storage. Furthermore, food preservatives are employed to prevent spoiling during transportation. Natural preservatives or artificial preservatives are used to preserve food. Traditional natural preservation methods include freezing, boiling, smoking, pasteurization, pickling, and others. Sugar and salt are two of the earliest natural food preservation methods that effectively limit the growth of microorganisms in food.
Changes in consumer preferences are projected to be major factors that drive demand for food preservatives. The growth in demand for convenience products has increased the demand for foods with extended shelf lives, which has boosted the demand for food preservatives. The recent increase in consumption of ready-to-eat food products has also pushed the consumption of food preservatives. The rise in demand for organic food goods stifles market expansion. Furthermore, the health risks associated with chemical preservatives are expected to stymie the growth of the food preservatives market throughout the forecast period.
Food preservation techniques have been used for centuries to prevent food spoiling. Food preservatives are in high demand due to change in lifestyles and increased trade of food items around the world. To maintain high standards of food quality containing preservatives, many government authorities and commercial enterprises maintain effective control.
Increased consumer awareness and change in food consumption habits, and rise in population boost demand for various areas of the food and beverage industry drive the food preservative market. Increased demand for natural food preservatives in established economies and surge in need for processed food in emerging areas drive this growth.
