Market Dynamics
Growing Food and Beverage Industry is Driving the Citrus Extracts Market
The food and beverage industry is experiencing steady growth due to population growth, changing consumer preferences, and rising disposable incomes. According to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2022-2031, global food consumption is projected to increase by 1.4% p.a. over the next decade, and to be mainly driven by population growth. Consumers are increasingly seeking products made from natural ingredients, free from artificial additives and preservatives.
Citrus flavors, such as those from oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits, are widely used and well-liked by consumers in various food and beverage products. Citrus extracts provide authentic and refreshing flavors, contributing to the popularity of these products. The growing interest in functional beverages and health-conscious trends has driven the use of citrus extracts in beverages fortified with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Growing Cosmetics and Personal Care Industry is Expected to Foster the Citrus Extracts Market
The cosmetics and personal care industry has been experiencing a shift in consumer preferences towards products made from natural and plant-based ingredients. Citrus extracts, derived from citrus fruits, align well with this trend and are favored for their perceived naturalness and potential skin benefits.
Citrus extracts can be incorporated into a variety of cosmetic and personal care products, including lotions, creams, serums, shampoos, conditioners, and soaps. Their versatility allows manufacturers to create diverse product offerings to meet different skincare and haircare needs. Some citrus extracts contain bioflavonoids and antioxidants that may have anti-aging properties, such as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Competition from Artificial Flavors and Synthetics is Hindering the Citrus Extracts Market
Synthetic flavors can offer more consistent and standardized flavor profiles compared to natural citrus extracts, which may vary in taste due to factors like seasonal variations and fruit maturity. This consistency is desirable for companies seeking uniformity in their products. Some artificial flavors and synthetic additives are designed to extend the shelf life of products, ensuring longer product stability and reducing waste.
Artificial flavors and synthetic additives can sometimes provide a more intense and immediate flavor impact compared to natural extracts. This characteristic is beneficial in certain applications, such as highly processed and flavored food products. In certain cases, consumers may perceive the flavor of artificial citrus additives to be similar to that of natural citrus extracts. This perception, along with cost considerations, may influence manufacturers' decisions to use artificial flavors.
