The food preservatives market refers to the industry involved in the production and distribution of substances used to prevent food spoilage and extend its shelf life. Food preservatives are added to various food products to inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeast, and molds, thereby maintaining their freshness, quality, and safety.
The market for food preservatives has witnessed significant growth over the years due to several factors. Firstly, with the increasing global population and changing consumer lifestyles, there is a rising demand for convenient and ready-to-eat food products. Food preservatives play a crucial role in ensuring that these products remain safe and edible for longer durations.
Additionally, the expansion of the processed food industry and the growth of e-commerce platforms have further fueled the demand for food preservatives. These preservatives help in preserving the texture, flavor, and nutritional value of processed foods, which often undergo extended storage periods and long-distance transportation.
The global food preservatives market is predicted to register a CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast period, as per FMI’s analysis. The industry’s market valuation is anticipated to increase from US$ 2,965.62 million in 2023 to US$ 5,725.70 million by 2033 end.
As the clean label movement is in full vigor, consumer curiosity and awareness about food ingredients have heightened. As a result, key manufacturers of food preservatives in the market are adopting a natural approach to keep food fresh for long periods. The continuous use of food preservatives in food production is a primary factor, which is positively influencing the market growth. Numerous benefits of food preservation are motivating market expansion.
Food preservation minimizes food wastage owing to less food spoilage, and warrants food safety via antimicrobial protection. The technique helps extend shelf-life while maintaining fresh taste and quality. Many companies in the market are offering an array of clean-label preservation solutions to provide significant advantages to customers. For instance, Kerry Group plc offers UpGrade, DuraFresh, and Accel.
With the incorporation of clean-label preservatives, food manufacturers can differentiate their products, claim to have used no artificial preservatives, and overcome shelf-life obstacles. The market is teeming with new opportunities to expand as new-age customers are seeking natural ingredients in their meals, and less processed, natural foods.
