The natural food additives are obtained from natural raw materials plant, animals, minerals, and others. Various synthetic food additives are available in the market as well. Natural food additives such as salt and sugar are being used for centuries in order to preserve food, enhance taste, and others. Both synthetic, as well as natural food additives, are largely used as stabilizers, emulsifiers, thickening agents, gelling agents, preservatives, coating agents, and others. Natural food additives are majorly used in food and beverages as flavoring agents. With the growing demand for products with health benefiting additives, the demand for natural food additives is expected to increase over the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
Increasing demand for plant extracts and essential oils from the food and beverages industry in the region is a prime factor driving the growth of the Europe natural food additives market. Moreover, in 2019 the European Commission has stated that the food and drinks industry is the European Union’s (EU’s) largest manufacturing sector and EU food and drinks exports have nearly doubled in the last decade, reaching over US$ 101 Bn. Thus, growing food and beverages industry in the region is expected to fuel the demand for natural food additives over the forecast period. On the other hand, the wide availability of substitutes is expected to hinder growth of the Europe natural food additives market.
The natural food additive manufacturers have also adapted the production of clean-label additives that can be helpful while developing clean-label products. These clean-label additives have found their applications in varied food products, including egg replacement in low- and high-fat vegan, dressings, white cooking sauces, ready meals, and other applications. Thus, food and beverage manufacturers are also increasingly reformulating their products to meet the changing consumer demand for natural ingredients.
