COVID-19 Impact on Food Colorants Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on the food colourant market, since it has raised awareness of the importance of eating in a safe, healthy, and in a nutritional way. Although ingredient sales are seen across countries, major food colour firms have begun to form regional production, R&D, and sales departments, which are streamlining supply chains for raw material distribution. Natural food colour and flavour firms faced substantial hurdles during the COVID-19 pandemic in meeting the demand for higher specialisation of food products to accommodate shifting tastes and preferences.
Food Colorants Market Dynamics:
Demand for natural food colorants is increasing

Due to increased customer demands for more natural products around the world, there has been a lot of interest in the production of new natural Colorants used throughout the food business. Natural colours' health-promoting effects, along with its organic properties of natural products, are increasing the demand for them. In recent years, there has been a significant shift favoring natural materials, particularly in terms of smells and colours. Natural Colorants are predicted to grow twice as rapidly as synthetic colours due to rising demand and customer preferences for food which is minimally processed and the health-promoting characteristics of natural Colorants. The increased production price of fermentation pigments compared to synthetic pigments or pigments taken from a natural source is a major constraint in natural Colorants. The term "exempt colour additives" is used by the FDA to describe products that are exempt from the certification procedure.

Synthetic Colorants have been restricted in food and beverage products due to strict regulations imposed by federal bodies in various countries. The FDA is a significant regulator of food additives in the United States. It governs the use of artificial colours in foods and beverages. The usage as well as demand for food colours have been reduced as a result of these rules. In the United Kingdom, for example, a judgement was made in 2008 prohibiting the use of food colouring. E104, E110, E122, E103, E129, and E124 are the six colours that are prohibited. This has had a considerable impact on the use of food colouring in food industry in the United Kingdom and its neighbours. Furthermore, market growth is hampered by a lack of consistency in regulatory rules and labelling guidelines for the usage of organic and natural colours across nations. Blue #1, or Brilliant Blue, for example, is commonly used in certain European countries despite being forbidden in France.

The Food and Drug Administration has classified titanium dioxide as a food-safe colourant. Food-grade titanium dioxide is safe when used within maximum allowed limits, and no health hazards have been reported. Titanium dioxide is perceived by consumers as a substance that can cause life-threatening disorders such as cancer. However, there are no studies that fully demonstrate this. Furthermore, misconceptions about titanium dioxide's health risks are a major stumbling block and challenge to the food colorant market's expansion.
Food Colorants Market Segment Analysis:
Based on Type, the food colorant market is classified into Natural Colors and Synthetic Colors. As synthetic colors are less expensive and easily available in the market, they are expected to have the highest market share. They are used in food and beverages and other synthetic foods because it helps increase their attractiveness and general appeal to the consumers. Bu due to stricter rules in the recent years by the regulatory bodies, synthetic chemical colors are projected to have a slower growth.

However, natural colors are estimated to have a higher growth rate with a fast CAGR of 9.67 percent. This is due to the customers’ preference for natural and organic ingredients as the consumers are exposed to more information these days and hence have more awareness about their health.

Based on Application, the food colorant market is divided into five key areas based on the use of colours in food items: Beverages, Dairy & Frozen products, Bakery, Meat, Poultry, and Seafood, Confectionery, Sauces and Condiments and Others. Food colours are commonly used in these items to make them more appealing. Color is chosen based on considerations such as packaging, stability, and the food item's composition specifications.

Recent food industry trends show that people prefer natural hues because of the health benefits they provide. According to the "Food Trends Report" 2020 by Sensient Technologies Corporation (US), plant-based meat is in great demand due to new product advancements. The outward appearance of these things is more crucial than ever. As a result, there's a lot of demand for meaty red tones made from heat-stable and organic red pigments. Consumers favour vibrant colours in items because they associate vibrancy with improved taste and flavour, according to academic and thorough study, especially during the Corona Virus outbreak. This is due to the rise in the demand for processed food purchases made online.
