The rising demand for the various types of oleoresins, including capsicum oleoresin, drives manufacturers to take up novel technologies for better production technologies. Manufacturers of the product are looking for novel technologies that help reduce production costs and increase process efficiency. The ongoing research and innovations in developing effective extraction methods positively drive market growth.

With the aim of obtaining cost-effective and efficient extraction techniques for the extraction of capsicum oleoresins, the manufacturers depend on the ongoing research methodologies in the market. The combination methodologies of these novel technologies are expected to improve the processing results in a better way. Microwave-assisted, ultrasound-assisted and enzyme-assisted technologies are expected to have an increased application in the extraction of capsicum oleoresin, producing high-quality and cost-effective products.

High Costs and Competition

Capsicum peppers are the raw materials used in the production of oleoresins. These are highly sensitive to environmental conditions and climatic changes majorly impact crop yield and quality. The weather conditions and interruption in the demand-supply chain activities may result in the fluctuation of the raw material. The raw material price fluctuations and utility of specific extraction methods lead to high production costs, affecting the final product price.

The market players may undergo challenges to meet the regulatory requirements provided by the government, in case of the quality and food safety and labelling regulations. In addition, some industrial experts prefer using alternative products, such as synthetic ingredients, due to their cost-effectiveness and increased stability. The greater use of synthetic colours and flavors that replace the capsicum oleoresin functionality hinders market growth.

Segment Analysis

The global capsicum oleoresin market is segmented based on nature, extraction method, distribution channel, end-use and region.

Wide Use of Solvent Extraction Method at a Commercial Level

The global capsicum oleoresin market is segmented on extraction methods into solvent extraction and supercritical fluid extraction. The solvent extraction method accounted for the largest share in the global market due to the wide adoption of the method in various applications. Solvents such as acetone and hexane are used to process the solvent extraction of the capsicum and other oleoresins. According to the National Institute of Health, ethylene acetate is the most effective solvent to extract capsaicin.

The solvent extraction method consumes low energy and has a greater production capacity. The new advancements taking place in solvent extraction processes for their application in the industry help expand the segment. Introducing new solvents and improvements in the modelling techniques and design methods allow solvent extraction at the sustainable industrial extraction process.

The advancements in the automation and faster action capabilities of the method drive the segment growth. Most capsicum oleoresin operational manufacturers use this technology at the industrial level. For instance, Mane Kancor, an Indian-based natural ingredient manufacturer, is one of the leading manufacturers of capsicum oleoresin. Solvent extraction manufactures liquid capsicum oleoresin with a sharp, pungent sensation.

Geographical Penetration

Increased Demand for Packaged Food Products in Asia Pacific

The high production of capsicum, the primary raw material used for manufacturing capsicum oleoresins in this region, helps in the abundant availability of raw material resources for product production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, Asia-Pacific accounts for up to 67.5 % of the production share of chilies and peppers, including capsicum spp. In 2021, China harvested 754,718 ha of chilies and peppers and produced around 16,749,718 t of the same.

Capsicum oleoresin has diverse applications. The pungent and spicy flavor of capsicum oleoresin improved its use in the traditional cuisines of this region. Apart from its use as a natural ingredient in the food industry, capsicum oleoresin has wide applications in traditional medicine. The product's potential health benefits increased its use in Indian and Chinese traditional medicine and Ayurveda purposes.

The increase in the region’s industrialization helped develop various industries, including food & beverage, pharma and nutraceuticals. The higher development of these markets drives the demand for essential ingredients needed to produce various products. In various applications, capsicum oleoresin is used to develop innovative natural products as a natural coloring and flavoring agent.
