CARMINIC ACID MARKET OVERVIEW

The global carminic acid market size was forecasted to be worth USD 0.01 billion in 2024, expected to achieve USD 0.02 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

Armenian cochineal, Cochineal, and Polish cochineal are a few scale insects that naturally contain the acid (C22H20O13), a red glucosidal hydroxyanthrapurin. The acid is produced by the insects as a defense against predators. The coloring component in the pigment carmine is an aluminum salt of the acid. From at least 700 CE, Peruvian natives have been using cochineal dyes for textiles. 

A central anthraquinone structure connected to a glucose sugar molecule makes up the chemical composition of the acid. Organic chemists produced acid for the first time in a lab setting in 1991. In order to make acid, scientists genetically modified the fungus Aspergillus nodulins in 2018.

Smashing female cochineal scale bugs produces carmine. Harvested, sun-dried, and crushed insects are used. Then place it in a solution that contains acid to make carmine acid. This produces an extremely vivid red dye which may be altered with borax and perhaps other substances.

COVID-19 IMPACT 

Mental Health Issues to Deplete Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the carminic acid market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The eruption of COVID-19 has done act as a substantial restraint on some market in 2020, as businesses have been disrupted due to global government lockdowns. COVID-19 is a contagious disease that causes flu-like symptoms such as fever, coughing, and difficulty breathing. National governments' efforts to limit transfer have led to a decrease in business growth and confined trade in goods and services, with nations entering a 'lock down' state. Carminic acid market suffered as a result of the outbreak in 2020 and 2021. Many health clinics were been affected from this because the main focus was on the respiratory issues. This same carminic acid market is expected to rebound from the shock over the forecast period.

LATEST TRENDS

Utilization in Food and Beverages to Intensify Market Magnification

Bright red pigment created first from aluminum salt containing acids is called carmine, also referred to as cochineal. It is created from cochineal, a scale insect that is indigenous to tropical and subtropical areas of South America. Carmine is a popular dye that can be found in a wide variety of foods and beverages, including yogurt, pastries, juices, beverages, processed meats (such sausages or fake crab meat), and cosmetics. It is a component of many cosmetic products, including lipstick, eyeshadow, shampoo, lotion, and coatings for pills.

Food is the leading part of the application segment

DRIVING FACTORS

Scarcity of Environmentally Friendly Product to Boost Market Share

The acid is created using cochineal extracts. It is not regarded as a clean-label product as a result. Customers' reactions to it as a result have been conflicted. Nonetheless, the scarcity of environmentally friendly substitutes and the reality that they are less harmful than synthetic alternatives are increasing demand from a variety of end-use sectors and hence, the carminic acid market share is expected to advance during the forecasted timeframe.

Textile Industries to Expand Market Forwarding

The acid is used by cochineal insects as an insect repellent. But for ages, humans have valued cochineals for their ability to produce the acid, which may be used by itself or in combination to create cochineal colors. The acid creates complexes that are known as carmine lake, carmine, crimson lake, and even eponymous cochineal when it reacts with aluminum or calcium salts1. Although some people experience adverse reactions to it, the dye is used in textiles and is a food, cosmetic, and medication colorant that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Hence, the utilization in textile industries will boost the carminic acid market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Allergic Symptoms to Deplete Market Advancement

Natural food coloring made from cochineal insects is carmine. Throughout the forecast period, the growth of the carmine market is anticipated to be constrained by its high price.

Carmine may cause allergies in certain people. Itching, inflammation, and hives are among the allergic symptoms linked to carmine. During the projected period, these responses are anticipated to limit market growth.
