The global antimicrobial preservative market size was USD 4.206 billion in 2022 and the market is expected to reach USD 5.952 billion in 2030, exhibiting a Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% during the forecast period. 

The market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels when the pandemic is finished is what caused the abrupt increase in CAGR.

In the pharmaceutical industry, preservatives are manufactured or natural compounds that are utilized as additives. A preservative agent's primary use is to prolong the shelf life of medicinal products by preventing the growth of microorganisms that cause microbial breakdown. Some medicinal goods needed to be preserved because they contained microorganisms. Pharmaceutical preservatives are applied to products with increased water content to prevent microbial deterioration and change during storage.

The market for natural food preservatives is predicted to develop as a result of the trend toward natural preservatives, which has pushed the use of antibacterial substances derived from plant sources.

COVID-19 Impact: COVID 19 Pandemic Leads to a Significant Growth in The Market

Worldwide sales of retail and off-the-shelf items relating to travel restrictions have surged as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic. As a result, a significant section of the world's population started storing food and other food items for their homes. In the medium term, this eventually had a positive impact on industrial demand for food preservatives. During the epidemic, demand for bakery products, frozen meals, snacks, and other application areas increased. Additionally, there has been an increase in consumer demand for Ready-to-Eat (RTE) meals, which has recently presented makers of food preservatives with an equal opportunity. The baking industry experienced fast growth during the pandemic, and the shift in customer preferences toward ready-to-eat meals in supermarkets significantly increased the demand for food preservatives. In order to satisfy the innate needs and more recent demands of the baking business, manufacturers are currently concentrating on a number of releases of plant-based food preservatives.

Antimicrobial Preservative Market Latest Trends

"Clean Label Is a Noticeable Trend In All Food Markets Worldwide"

Consumers prefer natural and healthy preservatives and ingredients since they are continuously looking for organic products with naturally occurring fresh, wholesome, and balanced nutrients. Because people believe natural substances to be the safer and better option, natural preservatives are more likely to be approved than synthetic ones. The food and beverage industries are seeing a lot of new opportunities as a result of the growing trend for clean label products, which is gradually becoming required everywhere. Clean labeling of food goods, where the product information is provided on the packaging informs consumers that the product is healthy to ingest. Health-conscious consumers expect information on the components that are being used in the manufacture of the food products they purchase.

Therefore, the antioxidant market is anticipated to experience considerable increase throughout the projected period due to the rising consumption of processed foods, such as meats and snacks, coupled with different types of drinks. The demand for feed preservatives is anticipated to rise globally as cases of animal feed degradation caused by bacterial and fungal contamination rise.

Driving Factors

"Growth Will Be Fueled By Need for Creative Solutions to Improve Food Supply Systems"

Due to the availability and rising consumer demand for a variety of food goods, food imports are rising globally. Numerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites are to blame for the majority of food-borne disorders. Therefore, preserving food safety is essential to lowering the chance of contracting illnesses and infections. By making the food supply chain more efficient, food safety and preservation can be improved during food distribution. Antimicrobial preservatives are being employed in FOOD AND BEVERAGE goods more frequently to accomplish this. Pharmaceutical firms can comply with the strict regulatory criteria relating to product safety and quality thanks to the usage of antimicrobial preservatives. This promotes the use of antimicrobial preservatives around the world.

"More Antimicrobial Packaging Being Used In Several Industries"

The goal of antimicrobial packaging is to prevent the growth of germs that contaminate items by incorporating antimicrobial chemicals into the packaging materials. The use of packaged foods, greater usage of new food-grade materials by vendors for packaging and growing consumer awareness of health-related issues are all factors driving the antimicrobial packaging market. For instance, one of the preservatives used in packing, bacterial cellulose, has excellent mechanical and water retention qualities. Additionally, it is employed to increase the shelf life of pharmaceutical and personal care goods. Thus, the sales of antimicrobial preservatives will rise throughout the forecast period as a result of the increased use of antimicrobial packaging in numerous sectors.

Restraining Factors

"Usage of Various Preservation Methods Restricting Market Expansion"

There are various preservation techniques, such as pasteurization, vacuum packaging, changed environment, irradiation, and pulsed electric field food processing, which reduce the need for or the usage of preservatives. The need for preservatives in milk is reduced by pasteurization. Food preservation has been made possible by packaging methods including vacuum packaging and modified environment packaging. The modified environment approach, which extends products' shelf lives and enables food producers and processors to use fewer preservatives in the food item, is one of the packaging methods expected to rise over the next five years. Such methods have the potential to hurt the market for food preservatives. Compared to synthetic food preservatives, natural food preservatives are more expensive.
