Erythrosine Market: Market Dynamics

Consumer Inclination towards Processed Foods to Foster Growth

Packaged and processed foods are becoming a vital aspect of today’s busy, on-the-go consumers, as they support their fast-paced lifestyles. Packaged and processed foods require effective preservation and stronger shelf appeal to entice consumers. Consumer inclination towards processed foods has shifted the food manufacturers towards synthetic food colorants that allow preservation for a longer period of time, including erythrosine.

As packaged and processed food consumption continues to rise, the application of synthetic food colorants such as erythrosine is likely to gain major impetus, supporting the growth of the erythrosine market.

Reluctance for Synthetic Additives to Hamper Sales

Although synthetic additives are gaining widespread applicability across a plethora of industries owing to its effective preservation for a longer time and cost-effectiveness over natural dyes, the growing positive perception associated to natural colorants and dyes is expected to hinder the sales of erythrosine. Demand for natural colorants and additives are witnessing a major growth on account of the rapid gravitation towards the health and wellness trend, and shift towards food products having naturally derived ingredients.

Health Adversities to Impact Adoption

Depending on its long term and short term utilization, erythrosine has potential carcinogic and mutagenic effects. Although it is used as a colorant alternative, the health adversaries of erythrosine have resulted in prohibition of the dye in certain regions. For instance, Erythrosine is banned in the US but is legal in Brazil and other countries. As health remains a top priority, it could hinder the adoption of erythrosine.

Regional Assessment: Asia Pacific to Maintain Market Dominance

Asia Pacific region accounts for a major market share of the erythrosine market. Gains are attributed to the increasing demand for packaged and processed foods and increasing emphasis on providing decorative products. Furthermore, with a number of erythrosine market players located in Asia Pacific countries, the market in this region is likely to witness notable growth. Europe also hold key opportunities for the erythrosine market contributors. However, the prohibition of erythrosine as a food dye in the North American countries, on account of its negative impact on health would exhibit challenges for the erythrosine market in North America.
