The food color market size was valued at $2.1 billion in 2019, and is estimated to reach $3.5 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 12.4% from 2020 to 2027. A food color is a pigment or a dye, which adds color to food items or drinks. Food colors are available in liquid, liquid gel, gel paste, and powdered forms. They find their major application in commercial food and household cooking. Food quality is evaluated on the basis of the color of the food. Food color does not always mean that the ingredients are organic, however, in few cases, it refers to less amount of ingredients used in it. The less ingredients added, the more natural the food product is. Thus, consumers demand natural and organic ingredients in food colors for better lifestyle and to minimize the risk of diseases that are caused due to artificial food colors.
The popular trend of healthy living has increased awareness among consumers about the components used in food products. In addition, consumers are often careful about choosing food products when it comes to products that are consumed by children. Thus, they have shifted their preference from food made with using chemical modifiers to natural, healthy, simple food.
The growth of the global food color market is driven by increase in demand for clean label foods and health benefits offered by natural colors. Moreover, the enhanced product appeal offered by these colors to food items boosts their demand across the globe, thereby boosting the market growth. However, the side effects associated with food colors and implementation of stringent regulations toward the use of artificial colors restrict the market growth.
