The liquid form of natural food colors & flavors is widely available, easy to spread, and suitable for a variety of formulations.

They come from both plant and animal sources, including fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, dairy products, herbs, spices, leaves, roots, bark, and buds. Because they are either non-toxic or less toxic and have fewer side effects, natural colors and flavors are also being used more frequently in therapeutic settings. Governments also encourage the use of food colors and flavors because they are biodegradable and do not harm the environment when disposed of. For the food industry, which is currently being fueled by value-added goods and ethical consumerism, it has proven to be nothing short of a revolution.

COVID-19 Impact: Industry Shutdown Causes Market Distortion

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with natural food colors & flavors experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 epidemic caused problems for food companies like volatile markets, a drop in customer confidence, and difficulties with import and export transactions. Markets were shut down and people stayed at home due to the lockdown. However, this sudden demand disrupted the entire market because the necessary materials were not readily available. In addition to having an immediate influence on markets, supply chains, supply and demand, and all of these other things, it also had a financial impact on the markets for food and beverages. Food manufacturers are concentrating on safeguarding their personnel, business processes, and supply chains to deal with this severe scenario. The pandemic impacted the industry dynamics, forcing organizations to revamp their entire operation structures to maintain stability amid the disruptions. Aside from that, the companies' business operations have been affected by the outbreak, which has an effect on the overall beverages industry. This has partially impacted the natural food colors & flavors industry.

Tea is frequently flavored with various plant essential oils, such as lemon, bergamot, rose, and fragrant olive, to bring out the tea's natural flavor and add a pleasant floral note. Other teas are flavored with dried leaves, spices, and flower petals, including rosemary, peppermint, chamomile, and chrysanthemum. The appropriate label disclosure must be present for tea with flavoring added. This promotes the growth and income of the entire market. Tea pairs beautifully with natural flavors. Per pound, a teaspoon of flavor is needed. Over the course of the forecast period, the aforementioned factors are anticipated to affect sales of the industry.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Fluctuations in Price to Impede Market Expansion

The high reliance on raw materials like fruits, vegetables, and spices as well as the notable price variations of the aforementioned products are expected to restrict market growth. The high cost of extraction and raw ingredients deters food producers, particularly those in developing nations, from being as innovative as big businesses and brands that are constantly pushing for healthier food items. This factor is impeding market growth. Therefore, this element might limit market expansion. Therefore, during the forecast period, these factors are anticipated to restrain market growth. But as time goes on, this issue will be resolved in some way. If this problem is fixed, the market will start to grow right away.
